visiting Solomon. I really never realized how godless the rest of the world was, until that dream. It was a splendid royal dream and a splendid entrance that she made, but for the very first time in my life I realized that the Queen of the South coming from the ends of the earth just for wisdom and being impressed with the Glory of God expressed in the functions and organization and wonder of Solomon's reign was a judgement because they were wicked people who were admiring the splendor of the goodness of God with His people.
She is linked with the Ninevites as rising in the judgement. In my dream, it was partly her fault that Solomon fell like he did. It was as though she carried with her, provocative illusions, which had not yet been seen or heard in the Kingdom of God prior to this time. I didn't realize that there were 2 sides to the rise of Solomon to world renown. One was that the world was exposed to God's glory and the other was that God's glory was exposed to the world.
Let us beware, children that we seek not the exposure that we have no immunizations for the sicknesses and emotional taxes that are a part of that exposure. There is no more intoxicating influence than pride on the soul. Dizzying and threatening to dislodge the most stallwart among us.
