The book of Ecclesiastes is proof of how much God the Father loves the lost. This book THE EIGHT EXPERIMENTS OF MAN contains much of the thinking of God’s enemy, and to allow that to appear in such measure among the sixty-six books that are His testimony to the world is, on one level, inexplicable. Why would God do that? The answer is because He knows that is the only way to reach so many where they live right now.  The point of reading Ecclesiastes is to recognize your lost self somewhere among the ramblings of the foolish side of King Solomon. In the end, we will see what Solomon’s conclusion is: Happiness is not found anywhere else but in God.  Remember Him, respect Him, and guard His commands, for that is the only way to become a complete and mature spiritual person.
This book is particularly for young people. The sad sage Solomon stands at the edge of eight lengthy dead-end trails, and having traveled down each of them, he shouts to the passersby, “Beware!” A young person asks him, “What can I expect if I head down the road of sex, or money, or fame, or reputation?” God allows Solomon to tell them, “Failure, regret, and deep pain.” Solomon is saying, “Don’t make the same mistakes I made.” That’s why God allowed this book, He had no better messenger than the richest, most powerful, most gifted (humanly speaking) ruler in the ancient world, King Solomon. In the end, we will see what Solomon’s conclusion is: Happiness is not found anywhere else but in God. Remember Him, respect Him, and guard His commands, for that is the only way to become a complete and mature spiritual person.
