The story of Kebra Negast shows that God had a special purpose for the nation of Ethiopia. It seems as if things just fell right into place and as if things were destined to work out the way they did. The merchant saw King Solomon’s wisdom and the Queen just so happened to love wisdom and wanted to learn. It seemed as if God had laid down a path for the Queen to follow.
Solomon was a great man. He was very wise and well respected. He was a follower of the lord and the Queen of Ethiopia also became a loyal follower of the God of Israel. The Queen had the child of this well renowned king. After reading about the dream that King Solomon had of the light shinning over the land of Ethiopia it was clear to me that the Lord claimed that land as his, and the child that the Queen was to bear was the light. It showed that Israel was now not the only kingdom with God’s blessing, and this gave Ethiopia special significance.
