Read Ecclesiastes 1 and then answer the following questions:
Section 2: Ecclesiastes 1:2-11
1. In 1:2 (and throughout Ecclesiastes) the Hebrew word translated into “meaningless” is also sometimes translated to the word “vanity,” but it also could mean “vapor.” What do all of these words have in common? (use a dictionary if you need to)
2.“Under the sun” (1:3, and throughout. Also, “under heaven.”) refers to a life without God in it. With this in mind, what is the outlook for a life without God, as seen in this section?
3. There is a pattern of repetition within this section. What seems to be repeated?
4. Look at verse 8. Have you seen a situation like this “under the sun?”
5. Look up Romans 8:18-25. What can we hope for?
