<TITLE>12. Par 42-44</TITLE>L-42 She was determined. She never thought of dangers. The only thing she thought of was getting to God. And she ladened her camels, and she got her princes, her--her bodyguards, hero-guards to walk with her. And they must have traveled by night, three months to see a gift of God.
I wonder if there's that much sincerity in the world today. And Jesus said, "She's going to stand with us in the day of the judgment."
Wonder what she'll do to the United States in that day? What will her testimony weigh out against the Americans, after we've had thousands of years of testimony of God with all the schools and churches and things? What will her testimony weigh against the Americans who'd condemn, and call it the devil, and walk away? And a greater than Solomon is here. The Holy Spirit is here. Wouldn't walk across the street, only to laugh at it. Many, thousands, millions of them...

L-43 But she made her way across the desert, not thinking of the troubles, but she made her way. Finally, she arrived at the palace yard. I can see her unladen the tent off her camels, and put up her tents and so forth. So they was in the courts, and the next day she wanted to go attend one of the meetings to see what it would be. She'd, finally, after three months of travel, after, maybe, a year or more of hearing about it, she finally arrived. And she got to the place she might've have to stand, too.
But that morning when they brought Solomon out, the servant of the Lord, and the elders gathered, and she said, "Now, I'm not coming to criticize. I'm just going to set down and look for myself, and just compare it with the Scriptures and with the testimonies I've heard."
And when the hymns were sang and, so forth, and the service started, well they brought someone up to Solomon. He looked just an ordinary man; that's all he was. But there was something about him that he wasn't himself that morning. God came down. And they'd never seen such discernment, how every case, he was perfect in it.
She said, "A man can't be that perfect, just can't be. There has to be something."

L-44 Out to the tent she goes. And I imagine all night long she read those Hebrew scrolls again. The next morning she goes back. Now, she never come just to say, "Well, I'll go in and set down five minutes. If I don't like what he says, I'll get up and go out." That's the American attitude.
But she come to stay until she was convinced. She wanted to examine it and stay with it. She come prepared for that. So the next day, and perhaps the next day, and for many days...
Of course she didn't, but let's say she had a prayer card and she was waiting. Finally come her time to come before Solomon. Now, she said... See, she'd watched so many others so she said, "I believe it's going to be all right."
And when she got before the gift of God whatever was in Solomon, why, Solomon told her everything the Bible said. Said their God never withheld one thing, but told everything that the woman had desire of in her heart.
And when she seen it done on her, she turned and she said to the audience, a pagan; she said, "All that I've heard was right and more than I heard." Said, "Truly God is with you." She said, "Blessed is the men whose face which can see things daily. Blessed are the people and blessed is the God that you serve, Who's give these great things as a witness."
