Ecclesiastes 1
Ecclesiastes 1
What is Vanity?
• Useless, futile, meaningless, vain
Verses 1-4: Solomon defines life based on nature:
1. Life is like a vapor, or wind that it only passes
away.
2. Life is a transit – it leaves no result, it does not
satisfy the mind.
3. There is no advantage to struggle in
terms of earthly pleasure.
4. Life is an endless repetition, aimless
and monotonous.
