Description
This paper reexamines Nicholas Perrin’s argument that the Frame of Qohelet (1:1; 12:9–14) alludes to the embodiment of a messianic voice in the “Assembler”. The phrases “son of David,” “king in Jerusalem,” and “one shepherd” establish this intertextual typology of a messiah articulated through the book of Qohelet. Conversely, I assert that these references serve as a deconstructed royal persona, representing a unique epistemic failure of a kind of empirical, pedestrian wisdom. Through literary and compositional analysis, this study presents a reading that, rather than anticipating redemption, invites reflection on the suffusion of Torah and Wisdom as an eschatological hope
