Queen of Sheba

The biblical account of the Queen of Sheba is a fascinating study of a woman, whose spiritual hunger, along with her abilities and character, is an idealized, typological foreshadowing of the great ingathering of Gentiles into the people of God. Earlier this year I had the privilege to speak about her at a Sunday worship service at Bethel World Outreach Church in Brentwood, TN.
