The Purpose of Ecclesiastes


1.  Solomon's intention in writing the Book of Ecclesiastes was to teach knowledge and write words of truth correctly (12:9-10).

2.  Solomon explained that the words of wise men are like goads that prod a person in the write direction. These words come from the one true Shepherd (12:11).

3.  Solomon warned that their is no end to the production of books, and that excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body (12:12).

4.  Solomon revealed what is important in life: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil (12:13b-14).
