Ecclesiastes 9-10
Solomon was filled with wisdom, but that doesn't mean he knew everything. In fact, his incomplete knowledge led him to draw conclusions that were incorrect... It seems so tragic that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. Like many of his contemporaries, Solomon did not know that heaven awaited... that a Savior would deliver us from the same fate that awaited everyone else. As the wisest and wealthiest man to have ever lived, he found that knowledge and wealth provided no meaning or advantage over the rest of the people. God's gift of wisdom and wealth to him was to show, once and for all, that true happiness and meaning could not be found through earthly goods. Then having shown that the world cannot provide the answer, he unveiled his solution... his son.
