Don't Be A Wise Fool And Waste Your Life

This book of Ecclesiastes is written by a guy who loved God, backslid, came back to God, and now has a new perspective on life. And so the theme of the book of Ecclesiastes is this. If you live your life for life under the sun, you've wasted your life and tortured yourself. That's the theme of the book of Ecclesiastes. That's why it says over and over, this also is vanity, empty, it's waste, vexation of spirit, torment, torture. So if you live your life only for the things that happen under heaven, under the sun, you've wasted your life and tortured yourself. That's the theme of the book of Ecclesiastes. And it ends with, let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. So that's the conclusion that Solomon came to at the end of his life. So Solomon was the wise, wise man, he was the wise child, then he became the wise fool, then he became the wise old man from experiences that he could have avoided.
