The internal evidence cited from “Ecclesiastes” to support
Solomon’s authorship agrees with his perspective as a ruler and a father. The
first evidence is the name he gives himself in the book – Qoheleth, which means
“Preacher”. The “Ecclesiastes” is the book of wisdom which
represents Solomon’s “last words” on the subject of kingship and assembly to
determine the next king (Ecclesiastes 1:1, 2 12; 7:27; 12:8-10). The second
evidence is the problem of succession because Solomon doubts David’s wisdom.
This concern of succession accords with the story of foolish Rehoboam in Bible
(Ecclesiastes 2:18-21). And the third evidence reflects ironic references to
the division of Israel and Solomon’s greatness was being consigned to the
oblivion that he feared. This refers to the prophecy of the reign of Jeroboam
whose name was byword for sin. The kings
of divided kingdom of Israel “followed
in the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin” and were consigned
to the oblivion(Ecclesiastes 4:13-16).
Niccolo Machiavelli
Machiavelli was a diplomat in Florence who tried to answer how could a ruler guarantee that he would stay in power by writing The Prince in 1513. Machiavelli claimed that people were greedy and self-centered. He argued that rulers should not be good, and that rulers should do whatever is necessary to keep power and protect their city, including killing and lying. Today, when someone is called a Machiavellian, it means that they are acting tricky and not thinking about the good.
The answer should be C- Rare Minerals. They needed these minerals to continue the war effort, and often purchased from Mexico Rare and Raw Minerals.
