Ecclesiastes 12

Whats going on

- Solomon is still going on about how everything is meaningless
- talks about that when we die, all that we had before is nothing compared to what is ahead - eternal life or not
- Mans duty is to obey the commandments, fear God
- there will be judgement where all our whole life comes before God


Stuff to take away

- we need to live our lives in the knowledge of eternal life
- need to work out what God is calling us to do and to do it
- we need to be reading the word of God. Other books are good, but not as good as the Bible.

What happens:
- Solomon talks about what will happen to us in old age.
- He sums up his book.

Meaning:
- Old age weakens the body, so strengthen your mind.
- What this book has been about - "Respect and obey God! This is what life is all about. God will judge everything we do, even what is done in secret, whether good or bad."

Stuff for us:
- Do the above quote!
