Did not the queen of Sheba come to Solomon to test him–test him to find out for herself if the–if the name of the Lord was truly Solomon or not? (I don’t believe I get that. Just wait.) Did not the queen of Sheba come to Solomon to test him to find out for herself if the name of the Lord was truly Solomon or not? (I–I don’t maybe understand this one. Just...Excuse me just a minute. Let me read it again.) Did not the queen of Sheba come to Solomon to test him to find out for herself if the name of the Lord was truly Solomon or not?
151 No! She never tested to find out if–if God’s name was Solomon. Solomon was a king. She come, and she said, she–she said, “Truly God is with His king and with His people.” See? She come and was tested...She tested Solomon about his gift, because she had things in her heart that Solomon revealed to her, that showed that he was God’s king upon earth.
152 You remember down in, I believe, down in–in–in... Where she come from, down in the land of–of–of–of Sheba where she came from, the people would come through, you know, and–and tell about great things that’s going on, that they had a God up there that has anointed their king, and the...how the king was anointed of God. I don’t believe she thought that Solomon’s name...or God’s name was Solomon, ’cause if she did, that would make her a pagan again. See? So, she–she could have did that. In her heart she could have thought that God was Solomon, Solomon was God, ’cause she was a heathen to begin with. But when Solomon revealed to her the secret in her heart, by a–a gift of discernment; which was called, then, wisdom. He discerned that. She knew that God was with Solomon, ’cause then...They had...She found out...If she come with that in her mind...
153 If the–if the person here, the questioner, is asking, “Did she know then that truly Solomon...the name of the Lord was truly Solomon?” See, Solomon was not the Lord; she’d found that out by the people, ’cause they worshipped Jehovah, and there was the great ark, and the great testament, the–the ark that the Lord’s commandments was in. And they’d told her about on Mount Sinai and the different places where they’d been. And then, she could see that God–that God of that testament was in this man, because he had–he had discernment which only belonged to God. See? So she knew that–that God was in Solomon. But now, it might read that way if the questioner ask that. But, “Did she know that the name of the Lord was truly Solomon?” Maybe they didn’t write it just the way they was thinking. You see? So I think maybe they’d say–say this: “That the Lord was in Solomon.” Yes, sure did. Cause if that’s the question, sure! She knowed God, because she made that remark. And she wouldn’t worship no other god. And I believe she–she said she’d always...She seen why...She had no breath left in her; she had no questions left in her. Solomon just revealed the whole thing, and she knowed God was with him.
