ECCLESIASTES 12
REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR
The Teacher encourages the reader to remember their Creator, even in their youth. Life is short and will go by quickly. Before you know it, your body will return to dust and your soul to eternity. It is all so fast and fleeting, like a vapor in the wind.
The final verses shift from the voice of the Teacher back to the writer, who evaluates and reflects on the Teacher's message. The author acknowledges the wisdom of the teacher, noting his worldly experience and research on purpose. The teacher has searched far and wide, from riches and pleasures to leadership and influence, and learned that everything is temporary and meaningless compared to knowing God. Ultimately, God’s judgment is all that will matter, and everything else will fade away.
