Vanity Under The Sun | Ecclesiastes 2:1-12

Traditionally, Solomon is identified as the writer, although Solomon's name does not appear in the book. In ch. 1: 1 it simply says, "the words of the teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem." King Solomon had more wisdom, more wealth, more women and was more renowned than anyone else in his time. And here, he tells us his observations about life both from study and personal experience. So in our passage, we're going to see:- a) The futility of self-indulgence. b) The emptiness of possessions. c) The ultimate gain under the sun.
