The Queen of Sheba as mentioned by Jesus


Today, I'm still looking for answers about the queen of sheba so we're going to look to Mathew 12:42.

Matthew 12:42 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

42The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.


This is a beautiful scripture where Jesus is asked to perform a miracle like some kind of Circus trick. The evil pharisees wanted proof for their unbelief but Jesus showed them a prophetic word regarding his death and ascension. Jesus said that just like Jonah he would be in the belly of the earth for 3 days and the people of Ninevah will rise up and scoff the decision or judgment of the pharisees. Where the queen of Sheba comes into play is the next thing that Jesus says. He makes reference that the queen of the south had visited solomon for she heard of the great wisdom of solomon, she was so impressed that she gave him the most lavish offering that anyone has given. This reminds me of the girl who poured out the oil on Jesus' head.

It says that the queen of the south will condemn the judgement that the pharisees made, I want to find out through Israel's timeline if her people had anything to do with destroying the temple. That would be too rich. I pray that the Lord leads me in discernment as I embark on this journey through history. I embark on an ancient trip to show in more detail the glory of Christ.
