Ecclesiastes 12

It only took a minute to read the conclusion of Solomon's writings on life. Though he claimed that everything was smoke he did find one thing that was not. He discovered the respect and obedience of God makes life worth while. I wonder when he discovered this truth. The accounts of Solomon's life in other Hebrew texts reflect a man who though wise became foolish before God. He neither respected nor obeyed God from all indications. I wonder if this book was a last minute compiling of thought of an old king who knew he was about to die. We should take his words as that type of warning.
