Under The Sun : The Wisdom Of A Man : Ecclesiastes


                            Every single word in the Bible is inspired from Holy Spirit . When a good king Solomon asked for wisdom , he was given a wisdom, A wisdom of a MAN . Throughout the Book of Ecclesiastes its written Under the Sun - Under the Sun , its the wisdom of a man under the Sun . Wisdom of things about this world , so the wisest of the wise man using human wisdom say vanity of vanities and he uses the human wisdom and comes to the conclusion that nothing makes sense and he says eat , drink and be merry because everything is such a waste at the end . 

                                          Thats the epitome of human wisdom .

 God gave him wisdom and he wrote many books and his books are full of human wisdom and in his last days , living in great despair , worshiping many gods along with the One True God , making palaces , gathering riches of the world , ruling the great land for 40 years , marrying many wives , exalted among the kings but relying on human wisdom to find answers and it resulted in his great vanity of vanities in his later days . I am  not sure whether he died as a believer or not because thats not our concern , we die as a believer is the thing should  concern us most but one thing I know that the mere reason his books are in the Good Book : Bible are that God wants us to know the epitome of human wisdom . Many debaters have been debating over two millennia about the canonical status  of book of Ecclesiastes , some even go to extreme  lengths by dubbing it as The Atheist Scripture , but I recall the verse which says   Fool Says is his heart that there Is No God ,(Psalm 14:1) so the  words of the fools are also written in the  Bible and are inspired by the

Holy Spirit so does the human wisdom , inspired by Holy Spirit and it explains , our wisdom even exalted to the levels of King Solomon himself can not lead us to salvation .

My Lord choses the fools of the world and teaches them and says , Fear of Lord is beginning of the wisdom . Then the miracle of divine wisdom happened which made THE WISEST men of their times say :

 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled  and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.  ( Acts 4:13)

                That is the power of Divine wisdom , the Pharisees and the High Priests Annas and wise men of their time including Caiaphas marveled how few foolish , ignorant fisherman , never been to scripture school could prophesied and preached with such command that did strike the hearts of thousands . 

            Lets all become fools of this world and let the Spirit grant us divine wisdom and use us and then we will speak of things not under the sun but over the sun and find our true salvation  . Amen
