1And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.

2And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

3And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

1 Kings 10:1-3

Biblical Context

The queen of Sheba visits Solomon to test his wisdom with hard questions; he answers every inquiry, and wealth and splendor accompany the exchange.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as an inner parable. The queen embodies a state of mind seeking truth, asking the hard questions of my inner Solomon. Solomon is not a distant king but the awakened I AM within me, the awareness that can answer from all truth. When the queen hears of Solomon’s fame, that fame is the recollection in my mind of the power of alignment with the name of the LORD. The train of camels, spices, gold and stones are the riches my consciousness can bring forth when I commune with the inner king. She comes to Jerusalem—my inner center—to test, to probe, to see if everything said is real. And Solomon tells her all her questions; there is nothing hidden from the king. This is the principle: when I dwell in the I AM, no mystery remains concealed; every question, every fear, every doubt, is revealed and resolved. The outer proof, then, is simply the visible order that follows inner clarity. Not by outside proof, but by inner recognition, the presence of God answers all seeking.

Practice This Now

Take a moment to stand in your inner throne-room, assume the queen, and pose one persistent question. In vivid imagination, receive a complete answer from the inner king and feel the wealth of inner understanding pour in.
