148
Problems in Ecclesiastes:
Many cults and heretical groups use statements form this book to support false doctrines such as soul sleep or annihilation. These passages can be properly understood only by realizing that extended portions of Ecclesiastes give the perspective of life "under the sun", that is, what life would be without God, which is a purposefully false perspective.

150
Importance of Ecclesiastes
Willmington writes: "Apart from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes is probably the most important Old Testament book for young people to read. It answers their many questions. Can I find happiness in sex, or sports, or silver? In popularity, prestige, or power? In educational degree or drugs? The answer to all these is NO! Thus , numerous heartaches and ruined lives can be avoided by simply heading the advice of the man who has already traveled down those roads." Sometimes experience is not the best teacher, for the tuition is too expensive."
151
Under the Sun
It is life apart from heaven, apart from God, from an earthly perspective alone that is empty and without meaning.

Solomon proves the vanity of life by experience:
♦Human Wisdom♦♦Pleasure♦♦Alcohol♦♦Great Building Projects - beautiful homes and palaces♦♦Beautiful Gardens and Parks - Farming♦♦Personal Indulgences♦♦Cattle breeding - ranching♦♦Massive Wealth♦♦Music♦♦Labor♦♦Marriage and Sex♦♦Fame, Popularity, International Reputation♦♦Education & Literature♦♦Natural Science♦♦Military Power - armies, horses, chariots, and navies

There will always be uncertainties about the future.

This sin is more than a careless evil word.♦iv. This sin is more than initially rejecting the Holy Spirit's conviction. It is final rejection.♦v. This sin is certainly not the statement that certain false miracles or teachings may be of Satan instead of the Spirit, for Jesus Himself made this statement.
