The half has not been told

Mo. 5/19/14: 1 Kings 10:1 – 2                  Why did the Queen come?
Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to test him with hard questions. She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.
Why did the Queen come? The Queen of Sheba came to test Solomon about the Name, “I Am That I Am!”
Tu. 5/20/14: 1 Kings 10:3                  What did the Queen learn?
So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her.
What did the Queen learn? The Queen understood that Solomon’s wisdom was from above.
We. 5/21/14: 1 Kings 10:6 – 7                  What was the Queen’s remark?
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, … and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. Then she said to the king: “It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom … and indeed the half was not told me.”
What was the Queen’s remark? The Queen remarked that even half had not been told her.
Th. 5/22/14: 1 Corinthians 2:9                  What has God prepared?
But as it is written:
      “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
      Nor have entered into the heart of man
      The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
What has God prepared? God has prepared a heaven beyond our sight, sound and understanding.
Fr. 5/23/14: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 17                  What will the Lord do?
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
What will the Lord do? The Lord will return and we will be caught up (Raptured, Latin) into clouds!
