Solomon Judgement
Who is true God?
When the crowned King Solomon started ruling the nation, two women brought a case before him, they both were claiming a new born baby as their own Child, the morel of the story to tell the world how to identify our creator the Almighty God, and this incident happened around 2800 years before when there was no modern day technology like DNA testing which could easily identify the biological mom who gave the birth - 16.Then two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17.The one woman said, Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. 18.Then on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. And we were alone. There was no one else with us in the house; only we two were in the house. 19.And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him. 20.And she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast. 21.When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead. But when I looked at him closely in the morning, behold, he was not the child that I had borne. 22.But the other woman said, No, the living child is mine, and the dead child is yours. The first said, No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine. Thus they spoke before the king - 1 Kings 3:16-22
And the new born Baby is still three days old, who could not witness his mom, and Like this three days old Baby, the world is struggling between two forces, between God of Heaven and power of darkness which acts like a God, and Its impossible for anyone to tell who really gave birth to child, because both women can nurse the Baby, but how King Solomon found the true mom? King knows that both the woman can nurse the Baby, but the true mom alone cann't tolerate the suffering of her own Child, that was the reason King Solomon ordered to kill the Baby, and that very order reveled the true mom to this world - 23.Then the king said, The one says, ‘This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead’; and the other says, ‘No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.’ 24.And the king said, Bring me a sword. So a sword was brought before the king. 25.And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other. 26.Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means put him to death. But the other said, He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him. 27.Then the king answered and said, Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means put him to death; she is his mother - 1 Kings 3:23-27
Definitely the Baby was in wrong hand, and Like that Baby the world is under the influence of darkness, Sin and disobedience, and we desperately need a Savior Jesus Christ, and there are numerous god and religions exists in this world, every god has their own identity like Anger, Dance, Sex, Yoga, Mediation, Circumcision, Magic etc, but the only one has symptom of Love is our Lord Jesus Christ. And the world may say Coexist also, but among the two women, one really wanted to kill the Child, and another want to protect the Baby, that is our Lord Jesus Christ.
Why Christ went to the same Solomon's porch
And 800 years after King Solomon, Christ went to the same place where the women stood for Justice, where Christ was questioned are you the true mom?, and from there Christ went to the Cross and redeem us from the power of darkness - 23.Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. 24.So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly - John 10:23-24
The only recorded case
From the time of Moses, Israelites had many Judges and Kings who ruled the nation, but the only recorded case is King Solomon's judgement, And no cases would come directly to King, there are multiple level of judicial systems, when no one could resolve the case then only it will come before the King, and this story is recorded not to boost wisdom of King Solomon, but to find out our Creator who created us in his own image - 25.Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. 26.And they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves - Exodus 18:25-26
God given wisdom
This was the first incident right after God gave the wisdom to King Solomon, and the moral of the story is to find out our Creator, the only loving God Jesus Christ - 11.And God said to him, Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right, 12.behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you - 1 Kings 3:11-12
