The book of Ecclesiastes records the grief of an old man- King Solomon. He tells us in Chapter 2 of the labors of his work on behalf of Israel. He speaks of the great success he had in raising up the people out of squalor into the most prosperous kingdom on the face of the earth. The problem is, though God had given him great wisdom – supernatural insights (cf. I Kings 4 and Proverbs 1:1-9) – he had failed terribly by departing from the fear of the Lord in the later days of his life, his wives leading him astray and into idolatry.

Cliff Notes on this message: The Mystery was hidden in the Old Testament… God did not reveal it except as a mystery. Exodus 27:20 The lamp, referenced in the tabernacle is the Church. So, we have the revelation of the mystery. It is a light in the tabernacle and later on in the Temple, and as we see in Ephesians, is the Church. We are spread throughout the whole world.
