Disco Sheep: Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

i posted the other verses so you could see the context of the message Jesus was giving, the message of the queen of the south is a prophetic message to that generation, they reject Jesus when they should of been like the queen of the south and seeked after the wisdom of God and like nineve they should of repented. it looks to me it has something to do with what happend in 70AD with the temple being destroyed by the romans.

the identity of the queen of the south is easy, she is in the story of solomon who asked for wisdom to guide his ppl.
1 Kings 10:1-2King James Version (KJV)
10 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions. 2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

sheba was the only queen to go visit solomon, and he life style is also in the txt, she brought alsorts of goods to show solomon that she has collected while she had been traveling. Since it can be confrimed sheba was the queen to visit solomon her location can be found.

an intresting point to make too is this is when etheopia got its culture from, when sheba returned she also took with her the jewish teachings and beliefs too. from what ive seen etheopia is like what israel would of been like if they accepted Jesus.

also jonas is the sign they receive, jonas was swollowed by the whale for 3 days, as Jesus when he died went to preach to the dead for 3 days before being raised from the dead.

This has no connection with the end days, it is a prophetic warning to that generation and has already come to pass.
