Ecclesiastes
"This also is vanity"
Text: Ecclesiastes 2:15
THE GRIM REALITY OF DEATH
Solomon struggled greatly with the reality of death. He was overwhelmed with the thought of his own mortality.
“So I said in my heart,
‘As it happens to the fool,
It also happens to me,
And why was I then more wise?’
Then I said in my heart,
‘This also is vanity.’
For there is no more remembrance of the wise
than of the fool forever,
Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come.
And how does a wise man die?
As the fool!”
Ecclesiastes 2:15-16
