Consider that in past days the topic of the SIGN of JONAS has been brought up…in such, I was told to tell you a matter of a queen…told “TELL THEM THE TRUTH” and a thing not yet. And I tell you, the TRUE SIGN OF JONAS to this generation, will be seen as he returns…and when they behold, THE PROPHECY
“LUKE 11:29-33
THIS IS AN EVIL GENERATION: they seek a sign, and there shall no Sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet, so shall also the SON of Man be to this generation.
THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH shall rise up in the Judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them: For she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon: and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here,
THE MEN OF NINEVEH SHALL RISE UP in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas: and BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE, NO Man, when he hat lighted a candle, putteth it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.”
So we see then, YEHESHUA defined Nineveh of old by prophecy, as much as Nahum. THEIR VERY PRECENSE, denoted the time of the JUDGMENT.
We see that Christ calls NINEVEH of old to surface in that prophecy, and in 1993, we seen it surface…we beheld, the SIGN Of Jonas, And Daniel 11 has warned of coming WAR, David warned of a CLEANSING FIRE…and the prophets warn of an event that will darken the sky, and cause the clouds to return as after the rain.
Nahum 3, we see a conversation, and we see a question we shall understand more fully, that is now being asked TO THAT BLOODY CITY,
So we can acknowledge that the Waive sheaf are called to Judge, and we can see that Yeheshua noted the same of THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH. We see in anti-type, those led away captive, are then HUZZAB. And we can see the application in anti type, but does the fact that the one noted as Huzzab in Nahum 2:7 which we obviously recognized occurred at Waco in 1993, does it mean we can be certain she is in fact the same one called to memory in Nahum 3:10, how can we be sure they are one in the same simply because of the references similar that they met with one who dashed in pieces, that they were led away captive?
Well, consider the content of VERSE 9…a Curse has just been pronounced to that BLOODY CITY, and for assuming I am right, we will say, the question is now, this very moment, being asked that city…”DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH, MY RIGHTEOUS QUEEN? SHE IS RIGHTEOUS, PROPHECIED BY CHRIST YEHESHUA TO RISE IN JUDGEMENT AGAINST THIS GENERATION…and STILL SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY CAPTIVE? STILL HER CHILDREN WERE DASHED IN PIECES…
STILL, HER MIGHTY MEN WERE CAST LOTS FOR, HER GREAT MEN CARRIED AWAY IN CHAINS…THIS, MY RIGHTEOUS QUEEN OF THE SOUTH…and I have just PROPHECIED your UTTER DESTRUCTION, I will cast filth on you like A PLAGUE, make you vile LIKE A LEPER…and you seem unmoved….
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE RIGHTEOUS QUEEN OF THE SOUTH? She was righteous, and STILL she was carried away.
Well, that is a serious proclamation. Is there any substance to it? Well, consider the map below:
In 400 BCE, approx 6oo years or so after the time of Solomon the land of Sheba has TWO KINGDOMS, the main Kingdom of Sheba which is today MODERN YEMEN. And across the Red Sea, in what is today Northern Ethiopia and Eritrea, we see the kingdom of D’mt, (Da Mot).

Such region has reports that The queen of Sheba gave birth to a Son in the city of Asmara. The Ehtiopian imperial family lay claim by the birth of that Son to Solomon. Study of the history of that region and of Ethiopia will refelect a strong Semetic precense in those regions during the time of Solomon and following. Such will also show in architecture a Sabeaan Influence from the kingdom of Sheba.
The following show the Ashkeomite Kingdom which reigned from the same regions in following, and reached dominance during the first 100 years CE.

As A QUEEN Of Sheba, living in the provinces of northern Ethiopia and Eritrea, and having the only SUPPLY in the world of Frankincense and Myrrh, coming from the Kingdom of Sheba, The Queen, made wise use of the Ethiopian ports, and the Egyptian Trade routes. During the time of Christ the area she once dwelt in, had the world MOST POWERFUL sea port, in Adulis, just 30 miles or so South of the equally powerful port of Massawa which for centruires has been an influence to the politics and economics of the world on the Red Sea. During the time of Christ, NOTHING made it from INDIA or AFRICA to THE ROMAN empire without going through Adulis.
Well known is the account of the Story of the Queen of Sheba who in her time was well known by reputation for her wealth to Solomon as he was for his Wisdom. Her strength was Ethiopia of her Nubian heritage. And it was by politics likewise Egypt, which was a weak nation in that timeframe and very open with it’s trade routes for the benefit of good relations.
Why then, is such a powerful figure, her Kingdom in the south not known with certainty to the city she dwelt. WAS SHE THAT SECRETIVE? Could she, the second wealthiest ruler on the planet have been secret about her residence? There is very little recorded information. It is certain she was educated, but consider what is said to have happened to the ANCIENT Populous of NO, it was conquered, it was conquered, taken away. It has been the practice of kingdoms in conquest, to first upon conquering a region, take the honorable of the land, and debase them to set example, exalt the lowly, to gain favor. Often, kingdoms had their entire history wiped out. The American Indians, some tribes have lost their language thanks to such practices by the Whites who persecuted them, placed them into “Christian” schools and demanded they speak English, forsake their nativity. So if such happened, well there would be little record of it. But Nahum, knew of the CITY of NO, and Inspiration tells me it was in the region east of Asmara, between the Rivers that run to the Red Sea at the modern Port of Massawa, and the ancient Port of Adulis, and that by her very notable acclaim, the 30 mile wide stretch by 30 Mile coastal rampart, had defense from it’s home kingdom across the Ocean in SHEBA.

I do not know WHY it fell, but that it did, and that the tone set, is not one that says…”If I overthrew such a great city in Egypt, what makes you think I won’t likewise fulfill my word to you You BLOODY CITY NINEVEH?” But rather, one that says…”I have spoken against you, and I wonder, do you think you are any better than SHEBA whom I LOVED? AND STILL she was carried away captive….and look at you, you are vile and wretched and you think I wont fulfill my word?”
We see the map below show a region From Modern Asmara, to the Coast 30 to 40 miles East, and from Massawa to Adulis, which more than fits the bill, and is in fact in the regions the Queen of Sheba gave birth, and region her Son, King Menelik I.was known to travel,

we see then the FIRST CENTURY Testimony of Josephus, the Jewish Historian, who when Speaking in his writings of THE QUEEN OF SHEBA, did not refer to her as THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH as she was commonly called, even by Yeheshua, but rather She was also known as Josephus illustrates as “THE QUEEN OF ETHIOPIA AND EGYPT.”
Josephus says in his Antiquity of the Jews, book 8 chapter 6, that it was the "queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" who visited King Solomon.
So We see the statement of NAHUM that “Ethiopia and Egypt WERE her strength, and PUT and LUBIM were THY (KING of ASSRIA…of that BLOODY CITY) Helpers” Is a Reference to the Queen of the South,to SHEBA.
We see in the WACO event the matter of use of Modern ASSASSINS,The Delta Force Mercenaries called to the attention of the KING of the NORTH, the Modern Assyrian, and in such, we see the mention of the Waco event in terms as a event which already passed, and is brought as JUDGMENT is about to be pronounced.
Note that Put and Lubim were tribes west of Egypt in what is now Modern Libya, and they were well known men of War,not just soldiers, but ELITE SOLDIERS, Mercenaries. The Delta Force Elite,are the modern equivalent of "PUT AND LUBIM".
So we consider as the CONVERSATION NOW, about to begin to ADDRESS THAT king, that the past Deeds which were committed in 1993 at Waco, had in them a A MATTER of Mercenaries. It is not a small thing, nor surprising to find PUT and LUBIM southwest of JUDAH and Jerusalem, much as Killeen and Ft. Hood were to Waco and Mt. Carmel.
The Queen of Sheba was well known for her diplomacy and generosity.
The Jewish historian did not refer to Sheba as the queen of the south, in his writings, he referred to her as “THE QUEEN OF ETHIOPIA AND EGYPT?” Hmmm why so?
She was from the land of Sheba right? Look at the map below, see what land comprised Sheba?

There are two dark green portions on the 1st map above which represent the Sphere of Influence of the Ancient Kingdom of SHEBA at it's most powerful state of existance, as well that which went on to become the Ashkelomite Kingdom. The smaller portion on the east side of that body of water, is the actual land of "SHEBA" and is what we call today in modern times, Yemen. The Larger Green portion, is not the actual land of Sheba, but more like provinces where Sheba dominated and operated out of with major influence to those regions and to the rest of the world. That larger portion is comprised of the entire southern region of EGYPT, and ALL of what was "Ancient Ethiopia" as well as what comprises the same areas in our modern times. The Actual KINGDOM of SHEBA was comprised of two countries seen on the 2nd map above by the two dark olive brown sections of "SHEBA" (Modern Yemen) and Dmot right across the ocean.
And as the 2 most historic Major seaports were in the area of Dmot, Sheba dominated trade on the Red Sea. But scholars cite there is no record of where the Queen of Sheba resided in scripture. There is however legend, that she gave birth to a Son for Solomon in the Modern city of Asmara, in a region that sits amongst the RIVERS, and has the Sea as it’s rampart, and it’s wall, it’s DEFENCE is indeed from the sea…as the KINGDOM Of SHEBA was just on the opposite shore, and SHEBA ruled the Red Sea. The Queen of Sheba visited Solomon about 1000 BCE. Give or take a few decades.
