warum ihr beim Lesen der älteren Kommentare (bis 2013) den Eindruck habt, dass wir Zeugen Jehovas sind, erkläre ich hier ausführlich. Nur ganz kurz: NEIN, wir sind keine ZJ, sondern einfach nur Christen – ohne irgendeine Konfession, Dachverband oder Organisation über uns – die für Gott und sein Wort brennen und sich gerne mit anderen darüber unterhalten und austauschen
Hier findest du die Daten zu unseren Treffen
… ist es, Menschen die Gott noch nicht kennen, zu ihm zu führen und mit seinem Wort bekannt zu machen; andere mit unserer Begeisterung für Gott und sein Wort anzustecken; einander zu ermuntern, im Glauben zu bleiben und zu wachsen; und einander zu helfen, ein ganz persönliches Verhältnis zum Schöpfer zu entwickeln, zu bewahren und zu vertiefen.
Wir betrachten die ganze Bibel als Gottes Wort und sie hat für uns oberste Autorität. Wir vertreten keine bestimmte Lehrmeinung, sondern beziehen auch gerne andere Meinungen und Auslegungen mit ein, denn jeder sollte sich selbst anhand der Bibel ein Bild machen
Bitte „entschuldigt“, aber Arnold Fruchtenbaum – ein Jude, der zu Christus gefunden hat, benutzt (ebenso wie die unrevidierte Elberfelder 1905) diesen Namen als Name Gottes und er hatte auch in einem Seminar mal erklärt, warum:
Auch wenn wir aufgrund der Schreibart der Juden nicht genau wissen, wie der Name früher ausgesprochen wurde (die Juden selbst sprechen ihn überhaupt nicht aus), so wissen wir doch, dass die meisten Namen der Bibel, die ein „Je“ drin haben, von dem Namen Gottes abgeleitet sind, wie zum.B. Jesus, Jesaja, Jeremia – um nur einige zu nennen
Viele sprechen den Namen heute gar nicht mehr aus, das HERR hat den Gottes Namen in der Bibel ersetzt. Die meisten Übersetzer, die den Namen drin gelassen haben, übersetzen ihn mit Jahwe. Der Name Jehova wird sehr ungern benutzt, da er an die Zeugen Jehovas erinnert…
Wichtig ist, dass der Name überhaupt benutzt wird, wir werden es unter anderem auch bei den 10 Plagen noch sehen. Es steht dir also frei, Jahwe oder Jehova zu sagen.
Wir benutzen wie Arnold Fruchtenbaum den Namen Jehova – aus den selben Gründen

WHEN WISDOM SEEKS WISDOM
When we speak of wisdom in the Bible, one name usually dominates the conversation—King Solomon, the man who asked God not for riches or power, but for understanding. Scripture tells us that his wisdom surpassed all the kings of the earth.
Yet tucked within Solomon’s story is another remarkable figure—the Queen of Sheba. She was not merely a visitor bringing gifts. She was a ruler in her own right, renowned for her cleverness, intelligence, and discernment. Scripture presents her not as a subordinate, but as a potential equal, a woman capable of testing the wisest king Israel had ever known.
Her story teaches us that true wisdom is not confined to gender, nationality, or throne—but is recognized by those who humbly seek it.
A Woman Known for Wisdom
1 Kings 10:1 says, “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.”
Notice what drew her to Solomon.
It was not his palace.
It was not his wealth.
It was his wisdom connected to the name of the Lord.
The Queen of Sheba ruled a prosperous kingdom. She commanded trade routes, wealth, and influence. Yet despite her power, she recognized something she did not fully possess—divine wisdom.
True wisdom begins when we admit we do not know everything.
She came with “hard questions.” Not small talk. Not flattery. She came with the deepest inquiries of leadership, life, justice, and meaning. And Scripture says Solomon answered all her questions.
Wisdom welcomes inquiry.
Wisdom is not threatened by questions.
Wisdom shines brightest under examination.
Wisdom Recognizes Wisdom
1 Kings 10:6–7 records her response:
“It was a true report that I heard… howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and behold, the half was not told me.”
This is profound. A wise woman recognizes wisdom when she encounters it. She did not envy Solomon. She did not compete with him. She acknowledged excellence when she saw it.
This is rare in a world driven by pride.
The Queen of Sheba shows us that wisdom celebrates wisdom in others. It does not diminish itself by honoring another. Instead, it grows.
Her humility did not weaken her authority—it strengthened it.
Wisdom That Is Rooted in God
She did not merely admire Solomon’s intellect. She recognized the source of his wisdom.
Verse 9 says:
“Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel.”
She traced Solomon’s wisdom back to God Himself.
This is the dividing line between worldly intelligence and godly wisdom. Intelligence can impress. Wisdom transforms. But only wisdom rooted in God produces justice, peace, and righteousness.
Solomon was wise not because of books or experience alone, but because he was connected to the Giver of wisdom.
And the Queen of Sheba recognized that true wisdom always leads us to worship.
Jesus Elevates Her Example
Centuries later, Jesus Himself spoke of this woman.
Matthew 12:42 says:
“The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment… for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.”
Jesus honors her as an example of spiritual hunger.
She traveled far to seek wisdom.
She crossed boundaries for truth.
She spared no effort to hear God’s voice.
And Jesus contrasts her eagerness with the spiritual indifference of His own generation.
The Queen of Sheba did not have Scripture, prophets, or miracles—yet she sought wisdom passionately. How much more are we responsible, who have Christ Himself?
Wisdom seeks truth, not comfort.
The Queen did not stay where she was satisfied. She pursued deeper understanding.
Wisdom is humble enough to learn.
Despite her power, she became a student.
Wisdom recognizes God as its source.
She praised the Lord, not merely the king.
Wisdom responds with action.
She brought gifts, offered honor, and returned transformed.
The meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba was not a contest—it was a conversation between wisdom and wisdom.
She reminds us that God raises wise leaders in every place and time, and that true greatness is found not in titles, but in the pursuit of divine understanding.
Christ stands before us as One greater than Solomon. The question is not whether wisdom is available—but whether we will, like the Queen of Sheba, rise up, seek it, and respond.
May we be people who travel any distance, ask any question, and lay aside any pride—just to hear the wisdom of God.
