Daily Bible Thought > Matt.12:42 Queen of The South Condemn This Generation

Matt.12:42 The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.

Jesus had just condemned those of Israel seeking a sign from him for proof he was the Messiah, now he turn his attention to yet another condemnation of this generation. Let us pause here for a moment for some context. Who was Christ talking to? It was the Jews, God's people not foreigner, or pangs. How could God's people having all the holy writings and the temple service lack such understanding of God own Son Christ Jesus. Moreover, how could Christ call them a wicked generation? And to add insult to injury Christ tells them the queen of south, not even a Jew would condemn this generation of God's people?

Matt.18:9 He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.
18:10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
18:12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
18:13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Christ was not given to flatter or the glory of men, he spoke profound truth, and that truth when coming from the Truth Christ Jesus was a judgment for all times. In other words, truth does not lie if Christ said it, it cannot be forgotten, it is inscribe into the heavens until it is completed. The very danger all religious people face is thinking by what they know they are above others because of knowledge of God's written word. This problem is common among sinful human just look at the world where law maker in top seats of government are caught up in breaking the laws they help legislated, do you understand why?

Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.

It is because those enforcing those laws judgments think that the enforcement of makes them makes them special above other, the rules don't apply to them because of their power. They give themselves the right to judge by their position. In other words, the owner of the store can eat the candy its his store, Correct?

Matt.7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?
7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

But here Christ stuns his listener into reality, they are not the owner of the Law, or the teaching of Solomon or any other teaching found in the holy writings they are God's, and they are written in truth, because one knows the scriptures does not authorize one to judge other by them. There judgment were faulty based upon fleshly thinking, based upon privilege, based upon self-worth, and because of that a queen not of their nation that would listen to the Spirit of God through the Son of God would prove more righteous than God's chosen people.

James 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."{Proverbs 3:34} 4:7 Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 4:9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you. 4:11 Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
