Luke 11:32

"The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here."

Key Reflection

The Queen of the South symbolizes those from distant lands who seek spiritual truth, suggesting that even non-Israelites would judge the Israelites of Jesus' generation for their lack of faith and failure to recognize his greater wisdom. This implies that true seekers of God's word will hold the community accountable for neglecting it.
