Ecclesiastes 01
Vs 01: “The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” Verse 01 tells us the writer of the book of Ecclesiastes, “The Preacher” or “Qoheleth” in Hebrew means “One who assembles”, The writer is Solomon, we know this for in chpt 12:9-10 we learn that the Preacher “was wise and taught the people, he studied, sought out and wrote many proverbs” these words have been gathered together and form the what is known as “the wisdom books of the Bible” Proverbs, Ecclesiastes & The Song of Solomon.Solomon also mentions that he is in fact a King, showing us that he has all the qualifications necessary to analyse the lives of men, for he had power, authority & more wisdom than any other man, vs16 reads “I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all them that have come before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom & knowledge.” Vs 02: “Vanity of vanities saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” This verse sets the theme, all is vanity. All mans wisdom, pleasure, hopes, aspirations, pride and achievements, the whole of mans existence is nothing more than vanity.
