Four Final Points

Click here to read Ecclesiastes 12.

In this chapter, the Preacher closes his sermon and like a good Preacher, he reiterates those things that he thinks will make the most impression and which he hopes will be lasting with his listeners. Thus he makes four final points:

  1. His exhortation to young people. a. Begin early in the exercise of your religion. Do not put it off to old age. b. He reminds them of the changes of old age and the possibility of death at any time.
  2. His exhortation to all, that he has endeavored to prove in this entire book, of the vanity in this world.
  3. His recommendation to all, the truths that are found in this book, they are worthy of much thought and consideration.
  4. Finally, He strongly recommends that we be "religious" considering the judgment that is to come.
