shows the exile was caused by the unfaithfulness towards what was laid out in the book of Deuteronomy (“Meta”). Unit Three focuses on five main parts: the land, conquest and settlement, the rise of kingship and the aftermath, the rule of David and Solomon, and the division of the monarchy.

Kreeft states five reasons as to why Ecclesiastes (Solomon) believes that everything under the sun is vain. These five things are; the sameness and indifference of all things, death as the certain and final end of life, time as a cycle of endless repetition, evil as the perennial and unsolvable problem,…

O Come, O Come Immanuel “O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel” These words float through the speakers of the radio, church and department store this Advent season.

& McEntire, 2012). It is believed by several scholars that the Instruction of Amenemope influenced the book of Provides due to the Egyptian wife of Solomon.
