Ecc. 2 [The Message]

(The song is yet to come. Couldn’t pull it all together yet. Stay tuned.)

Solomon openly acknowledges that he “Did it all” in his quest for the meaning and fulfillment of life. He spared no expense in pursuing the ultimate life of pleasure and accomplishment. In effect he is saying, “I did it. You don’t have to. Here is the result; It’s all smoke and vanity!”

The Apostle Paul also comes to the same conclusion. He called it all “dung” [Phil. 3:8] and gladly traded it in for what he found in Christ, “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” [Col. 2:3]
