Sheba's Quest

The Queen of Sheba is undoubtedly one of history's most fascinating personalities. She is the subject of biblical and romantic stories, the lady who traversed 1200 miles across an arid desert to meet King Solomon.For the next 3000 years, their names have been linked; Christ himself made reference to them. Despite her fame, how little is known about her and the reason for her journey to Jerusalem. It was not commerce, as many have speculated, that caused Sheba to travel such a distance, but the irresistible grace of the living God. Her heart ached, not for trade agreements or romance, but for truth, and she was prepared to travel far to find it.With sanctified intelligence, then, it is possible to unravel the "hard questions" that Sheba asked Solomon; to follow her train of thought during the historic meeting of the two. Since the quest concerned "the name of the Lord," we can understand what was taking place. The world refers to commerce or romance, but Solomon was pointing Sheba to the "Name which is above every name" before whom every knee should bow.Trumper, Peter is the author of 'Sheba's Quest', published 2004 under ISBN 9781840301465 and ISBN 1840301465.
