Bible Question: What is Ecclesiastes in general? Are there any key elements which make up this book? |
Bible Answer: The key theme of Ecclesiastes is wisdom with, IMO, Chap. 12:13 (cf. Exodus 1:7;Job 28:28;Psalm 1:1-3;Proverbs 1:7;8:13 etc.) as the key verse. A truly wise person is one who obeys God by keeping His commandments thus, fears God. I think Ecclesiastes is best understood in the context of other biblical wisdom books that express the same theme..."the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." |
