Part II: The Qoheleth
The realm of the scribe is HUGE. The more I study about this specific designation given to Solomon, the more I dig out His realm and feel the need to do a part II of my teaching on, “The Scribal Realm of Solomon.” It’s available through the Scribe School and will add so much to this little nugget. So much MORE has broken open for me about Him due to this one word.
First, it simply confirms the depth of that teaching. Secondly, it opens up a very specific dimension on “Solomon’s dream realm AND the extremely unique impartation of wisdom He received from God.”
Part I: The Qoheleth (Solomon)
In Hebrew, this PROFOUND WORD means that He was a COLLECTOR OF SENTENCES. This term is reserved for scribal types who have a clear, defined area of specialty that “concerns itself with the wisdom and weight of God’s words” spoken — particularly as it relates to the relationship between understanding and wisdom.
It is a priestly word that was USED SO RARELY that it is primarily associated with the book of Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. Why? Well, I believe its because Solomon was gifted “for a time” with distinguishing between the THINGS OF THE WORLD and the REALITY OF HEAVEN.

Five Areas of Spiritual Development That Cannot Be Hidden: #2 Spiritual Maturity
In our spiritual walk with the Lord, there are five SURE things that no amount of secrecy, posturing or spiritual gifts can hide. By uncovering these things, we can accept them for what they are and posture ourselves to grow and develop in a healthy manner.
YOU CANNOT HIDE:
SPIRITUAL IMMATURITY. No matter how great the prayer, prophetic word, the works, the exuberance for the Lord or how profound the revelation, none of these things indicate spiritual maturity in and of themselves.
Spiritual maturity can be defined as living life in Godly wisdom with adequate self control over one’s mind, will and emotions as defined in scripture.
