A child of God can save themselves many hard lessons by applying their life in reflection to the Holy wisdom of love through the Spirit and Word. This includes learning about the mysteries of our eternal God as well as the eternal purposes to someone’s own life, such as is revealed from the Holy Spirit working through Solomon.
~ Life and Love
In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon speaks of life and its works, and concludes; everything that he did within his lifetime that was of this world; was void of purpose and meaning. But all that he did in which was for an eternal reason: had purpose.
In the following book, Song of Solomon, Solomon describes when he met his greatest love, who was a Shulamite. In this story, Solomon was simultaneously prophesying of the eternal love of Jesus: first coming as a Shepherd, and then as the King of Kings.
~ The Shepherd and the King
King Solomon had disguised himself and traveled as a Shepherd to find true love ~ to love and to be loved for who he was. Solomon, moved by the beautiful Shulamite woman and her beautiful romantic words of love…unleashed his own endearing heartfelt poetic gestures ~ that cascaded into a volley of love.
In humility, finding love, Solomon then disclosed to the Shulamite woman that he was, in fact, King Solomon.
He told her at one point, that he had to leave, and he promised that he would return as the King and marry her.
When King Solomon had humbled himself and presented himself as to the truth of who he really was as a person: he experienced the greatest love of his life.

~ Eternal life and love surmised
Ecclesiastes surmised reveals that the works of this world pass, works for God are eternal and have lasting purpose, and life and the eternity of it is the most precious and sacred gift.
Song of Solomon surmised reveals why God created life: to eternally be loved and to love in the manner in which God loves.
~ An allegory of the first and second coming of Jesus
Every book of the Bible is in regard of the importance of our Father giving His Son Jesus for eternal life. Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon are just like all other books of the Bible in the respect of being exceedingly brilliant and Holy in prophesying of the first and or the second coming of Jesus.
Just as the Shulamite woman and God’s children are hearing of today; detractors ridicule pertaining to the return of their King, with God’s children longing for the return of their King Jesus Christ.
~ Conclusion
Scripture throughout reveals that lasting purpose is only in eternal things: foremost in the sake to secure eternal through Jesus Christ, for the purpose of eternal love.
The gift received of life and love forever, is no greater gift to give, by testifying to others about the forgiveness and good news of Jesus Christ.
By repenting and embracing Jesus Christ as one’s personal Savior ~ a child of God can have hope, peace and confidence to eternally be with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit: loved through the King of Kings, happily ever after!
Ecclesiastes 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
The Shulamite woman said in Song of Solomon 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loves, where thou feeds, where thou makes thy flock to rest at noon: For why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of thy companions?
Solomon replied in verse 1:8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds tent.
John 21:17 Jesus said unto him the third time; Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time; Lovest thou me? And said unto Jesus; Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said unto him; Feed my sheep.
Jesus said in John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: And they are they which testify of me.
