We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what?

Queen Of Sheba, Makeda Of Axum & Solomon
Unity Consciousness #1597

.

(Part 9pw of 11)

As mentioned in UC#1595, the Queen of Sheba is mentioned in the Christian Bible as bestowing gifts upon King Solomon of Israel and receiving wisdom him. She is mentioned again in reference to her eunuch being the one baptized by Apostle Philip.

Signs Are Everywhere, Yet We Want One Plainer Than The Nose On Our Face

Queen of Sheba is mentioned again.
We again refer to the Christian bible in Matthew 12: 38-42 and Luke 11: 29-31. I've adjusted the verses to show more clearly some of the earlier meanings. During one of the times when Jesus was speaking to the crowd, some of the people, especially those with supposedly greater knowledge, brightmindedness and rightmindedness, i.e., with supposed superior intelligence, asked Jesus for a sign. Jesus said you already had a sign. Jonas/Jonah spent three nights and days in the belly of Mother as a whale and so shall the Son of man in the belly of Mother as Earth. [BTW, if Jesus was entombed on Friday night, he should have risen on Monday. Jesus must have been crucified on Thursday since his resurrection is celebrated on Sunday]

Jesus did tell the sign seekers that those who repent and listen to the wisdom of Jesus (Solomon), become the ones who will judge each generation. Every generation is already given signs, even before they ask or seek. The signs are the different forms of the ever-coming one and ever-living one. Child and Parent. The Ninevites and Queen of Sheba were used as examples as was Jonah, Solomon and Jesus.

We could take the Christian version as is and consider it an account of human events and/or we can understand that the Queen of Sheba is the Queen Mother of Solomon who is Jesus, the savior and ever-coming one. The Mother judged the generations at that time in history and now the Father of Jesus will judge this generation.

More Details On The Queen Of Sheba

She was a negro black woman who was also called Queen of the South. She brought presents to Pharaohs and to Solomon, basically to the rulers of other kingdoms in order to establish diplomatic, trade and other strategic relations. The Queen of Sheba was a Candace Queen. Candace is a royal term like Pharaoh. Candace is a title given to many queens of Ethiopia. These warrior queens ruled Ethiopia. They governed near Meroe. This line of queens had the pronounced Bushman figure. (Acts 8:27)
The Candaces were in power for at least a thousand years and perhaps longer. They are mentioned during the time of Solomon's reign around 1011 BCE and mentioned around 22 BCE when Candace invaded Upper Egypt and captured Philae, Aswan, and Elephantine. (Budge: The Nile 498, 509, 522), (Du Bois: The Negro 19)

As we continue to regain access to our genetic library, it is useful to also refer to the Queen of Sheba as the Queen of Ethiopia ruling at Sheba. This is why these queens were called Queen of the South. Also keep in mind that the Queen of Sheba in Judaeo-Christian bibles is merely one of many such queens who ruled out front as females and not in back behind a Pharaoh. (Morse: American Universal 805)
Wilkinson found it remarkable that he and others so frequently find mention of queens of Ethiopia, many of whom have the name Candace.
One of these Candaces reportedly said to Alexander the Great that he is not to scorn her people because they are black, for they are whiter in soul than his white folk. Interestingly enough, this quote appropriately came from Du Bois who wrote “ The “Souls Of Black Folks.” The quote is also more believable than the either the Queen of Sheba or Solomon saying “I am black but comely.” It is ridiculous in a world so entrenched in black beauty, that Virgin Mother and Child were imaged as black. In order for a black person to say such a thing would require significant memory loss and constant hallucinogenic drugs. Yet the Judaeo-Christian bible claims God told holy white men to write that down. If true, then this is another way of knowing the Jewish-Christian bible is not a book intended for the benefit of black folks. (Wilkinson: Modern Egypt, 233, 310), (Du Bois: The Negro 19)

The word Candace is also spelled Kandake, Kandaka and is related to kanda as in Wakanda, and to ganda as in Uganda. Wakanda is also Uakanda, thus Uaganda, thus Uganda. As always, we should not limit our thinking to current geographical boundaries.

Variations of names referred to as the Queen of Sheba not mentioned above. Some of these names are likely confused/ Not all these names apply to the same person: The African Queen, Azeb, Maqueda, Maqeda, Makeda, Nikaula, Nikaule, Nicaula, Belkis, Bilqis, Balkis, Balquis, Eteye, Sungbo. Bilikisu Sungbo. (Du Bois: The Negro 19), (Kebra Nagast https://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/kn/kn000-5.htm)

As a side note, Kebra Nagast means (The Glory of The Kings). Nagast is Kings. Nagas, Naggas, Niggas, Ngas, Ings, Kings. The Kebra Negast includes the story of how the Queen of Sheba and Solomon became the parents of Menelik I who became Emperor of Ethiopia. One of the titles the Ethiopian Emperorship is Lion of Judah, due to being partly from the tribe of Judah. Same as Jesus of Modern Christianity. Sure is a lot of animal, plant, star and planet symbols in religions of today, yet they are not pagan or idolatrous, just simply based on god in human form. The Kebra Negast calls Menelik I, Ebna-Hakin. We can be certain there are many variations of Menelik. (Du Bois: The Negro 19 (Jochannan: African Origin 233-4, 329)

Kandaka (Candace) is a title also borne by the first kings of Kau (Gao), according to Al Bakri; they were called Kanda. There was a Nubian nomc called Kau. The inhabitants of Upper Egypt were called KauKau. We know that Gao is both an abbreviation and a deformation of Kau-Kau. (Diop: Precolonial 227)

Location Of Sheba

Seba or Sheba was also called Napata/Nepata. There was also a Saba in the area of present-day Yemen. However, there was also a Saba, Seba, Sheba in the Karuan Nile Valley south of Egypt. This would then be Nubia-Kush which was also famed for containing much gold. Sheba/Saba is likely named after Seba, son of Cush (Kush). In both Seba's, the people were likely called Sabaeans. . As we have shown elsewhere, all of these people were one genetically and close enough culturally under many names such as Kushite, Cushite, Ethiopian, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Persians, Arabians, Syrians, Israelites, Canaanites, Hebrews, etc. who came from the same place. Himyar was also a son of Kush and is credited as a founder of Yemen. This tells us who the Yemenites are.
The Napata of old is said to be present-day El Berkel. (UC#1485), (Houston: Wonderful 35, 45), (Brugsch-Bey: History of Egypt 560), (Wilkinson: Modern Egypt, 244, 310), (Smith:A Dictionary, 443, 477, 1209)
