DESCRIPTION:Freedom''s Eve - remembering the distant past, early Stockton Gold Rush Era 
 History and today's new opportunities in the spirit of Kuumba.\n\nRev. 
 Jeremiah King opened a blessed way forward that still is positive today 
 \n\nThe ancient nations of Sheba and Cush, both located several hundred 
 miles south of Israel, were often regarded by the people of Israel as the 
 ends of the earth. \n\nThe nation of Sheba was located on the southwest 
 coast of the Arabian peninsula and traded frankincense, myrrh, gold, and 
 precious stones throughout the Ancient Near East. \n\nDuring Solomon’s 
 reign, news of his great wealth and wisdom traveled as far as Sheba 
 (perhaps carried by Solomon’s fleet of trading ships), and the queen of 
 Sheba came to visit him and ask him many questions (1 Kings 10; 2 
 Chronicles 9). \n\nBefore about 900 B.C., the term Cush in the Bible 
 referred primarily to the descendants of Cush, who inhabited much of the 
 western coast of Arabia as well as the land immediately south of Egypt in 
 Africa (Genesis 10:6-7).\n\nAfter about 900 B.C., the term Cush typically 
 referred to the kingdom of Cush, which included only the land south of 
 Egypt. So it is likely that Moses’ Cushite wife (Numbers 12:1) was from 
 Arabia, as was Zerah’s vast army of soldiers who attacked King Asa (2 
 Chronicles 14:8-14). \n\nKing Tirhakah, on the other hand, who set out to 
 fight against Assyria as they were attacking King Hezekiah, was almost 
 certainly from Africa (2 Kings 19:9; Isaiah 37:9). \n\nThe same is also 
 likely true for the Ebed-melech, who rescued Jeremiah from imprisonment in 
 a cistern (Jeremiah 38:1-13). Later, the kingdom of Cush is cited as one of 
 the borders the Persian Empire (Esther 1:1). \n\nOver time many people of 
 the kingdom of Cush (later called Ethiopia) became followers of the Lord, 
 which is why during the New Testament Philip the Evangelist met an 
 Ethiopian royal official traveling home by way of Gaza after worshiping at 
 the Temple of the Lord (Acts 8:26-27).\n
