PREFACE

“Matthew 12:42 The queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this

generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to

Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.” [1]

The Bible prophesies the Queen of the South will rise at the

judgment, but did not give her name or any other detail about her.

Among the significant questions surrounding the Queen of the

South and her role in the judgment:

When will the judgment be?

Where are the ends of the earth?

How will she come from the ends of the earth?

What is Solomon’s wisdom?

How did she listen to Solomon’s wisdom?

How can one be greater than Solomon?

Why does she condemn this generation?

What are the most evil sins she will condemn?

To answer these questions, we must understand words of Jesus

Christ in Matthew 12:42.

Matthew 12 The Sign of Jonah

38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him,

“Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”39 He answered, “A wicked and

adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of

the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly

of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart

of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this

generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now

something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the

judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the

earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is

here.”

When the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked a sign from

him, Jesus Christ said God has given them a sign through Jonah,

and would give them another sign through Jesus Christ: He will be

three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Jesus Christ prophesied that there would be signs in the future,

when the men of Nineveh stand up, and the Queen of the South

rises.

The Queen the South obeys God’s commandments and holds

to the testimony of Jesus Christ.

This book demonstrates who the Queen of the South is by

using detailed data. By answering the above questions, it lets

readers understand God’s great plan around the Queen of the

South.

Chapter 1: China Neolithic People and Their

Cultures

Shanhaijing records many groups of people in Neolithic China.

The five most famous groups were the Zhuan Xu, Di Jun, Huang

Di, Yan Di, and Shao Hao.

Di-Qiang farming culture was first developed by Shu Jun

People (offspring of Di Jun People), in today’s Gansu and Shanxi

province. These areas came to be inhabited by Di-Jun People and

Zhuan Xu People.

Another influence on early Di-Qiang Culture was

Cishan-peiligang Culture (from about 6200BCE-4600BCE) in

Henan Province and southern Hebei Province, the territory of the

Di Jun People. Later, Yangshao Culture in this area developed from

this culture, and spread to the middle reaches of the Yellow River

where the Di Jun People and Zhuan Xu People lived.

The Mount Helan Rock Paintings represent ancient hunting

cultures from different northern nomadic tribes, such as the Huang

Di People, Yan Di People, some nomadic groups of Zhuan Xu and

Di Jun People, and other nomadic groups of ancient people.

Shao Hao and other groups of people in the Shandong

Peninsula were called the Dong-Yi People and developed Dong-Yi

Culture, first in the Shandong Peninsula, and later spreading out to

the lower reaches of the Yellow and Huai Rivers.

Greatly impacting Di-Qiang Culture since early times,

Longshan Dong-Yi Culture spread out to the territories of the

Cishan-peiligang and Yangshao Di-Qiang Cultures, and turned

these areas into outposts of Dong-Yi Culture. Through this

diffusion, Dong-Yi culture greatly influenced ancient China.

The Shang Dynasty was offspring of the Dong-Yi People, the

Xia Dynasty was offspring of the Di Jun People. The Zhou Dynasty

came from a small tribe in the far north-west of China. In order to

unite all groups of ancient people to fight with them against the

Shang Dynasty, the Zhou added a new section to Shanhaijing - The

Five Classic of Regions within the Seas, which contained new

stories of the Emperor Huang Di and Yan Di, not found in the

previous four books of Shanhaijing.

The Zhou Dynasty promoted Huang Di and Yan Di to be the

common ancestors of all Chinese Neolithic People, and claimed Di

Jun, Zhuan Xu, and Shao Hao to be their descendants.

Most small regional cultures of ancient China ended during

the late stage of the Neolithic Age, and the Chang Jiang River

Valley Cultural system had less influence than before. However,

the Yellow River Valley Culture, which included Dong-Yi Culture,

became the mainstay of ancient Chinese civilization and developed

to a higher level.

Chapter 2: The Dong-Yi People

This chapter has presented what the Dong-Yi contributed to

human civilization, including the dawn of Bronze Age China,

Oceania and America. I hope that this presentation will enable a

discussion on the foundations of prehistory due to this overlooked

people.

Even as the Dong-Yi People built one of the most important

Neolithic cultures, which greatly influenced ancient China, they

built friendly relationships with older Chinese peoples in their early

history. However, later on the Dong-Yi became the main

adversaries of both the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty. The

State of Qi eliminated Lai, the last nation of Dong-Yi People, in

567BCE.

I hope that my work will initiate an inquiry as to the role of

prehistoric migrations and more, of how the Dong-Yi inspired

cultures in China, Oceania, and America, providing a new view as

to how civilizations arose in these three areas. In summary:

The Dong-Yi civilizations arose in the Shandong Peninsula of

China. They moved to lands called the Ends of the Earth, The

Easternmost Place in the Shandong Peninsula of China; The

Westernmost Place in the Americas; The Southernmost Place in

Australia and New Zealand; and The Northernmost Place near the

Arctic Circle. Furthermore, the Dong-Yi built great cultures in

those areas during the Neolithic Age.

I hope that my presentation sheds new light on this important

people, who played a decisive role in the development of human

societies worldwide. This manuscript is a step in that direction.

Chapter 3: The Ends of the Earth

In conclusion, the Ends of the Earth are near the edges of the

world - the edges of the continents, where the sky meets the sea.

They include: the Easternmost place in China; the Westernmost

place in America; the Northernmost place near the Arctic Circle;

and the Southernmost place in Australia and New Zealand.

The descendants of Shem spread out over all Asia to the north

and east, and at last they reached the East and North Ends of the

Earth. They were of the Mongoloid Race with yellow skin color.

The descendants of Japheth spread out all over the continent

of Europe to the west and to America. At last they reached the West

End of the Earth. The descendants of Japheth were of the

Caucasoid race with white skin color.

The descendants of Ham spread out to the south to Africa.

Later they also spread out over Southern Asia, India, Thailand,

Malaysia, Indonesia, and through Malay Archipelago (a bridge

prepared by God), they arrived in Australia, New Zealand and

small islands of the South Pacific Ocean. At last they reached the

South End of the Earth.

Before the descendants of Shem, Japheth and Ham reached

the ends of the earth, a special group of people, who were called

Dong- Yi People, went directly to the Ends of the Earth.

The Dong-Yi People bore some resemblance to both the

Caucasoid race and Mongoloid Race in general appearance, but

were very different from the pure Caucasoid race descending from

Japheth, and the pure Mongoloid Race descending from Shem. I

also conjecture that they might share some genes with Ham. The

Dong-Yi Race assembled elite genes from the lines of Shem,

Japheth, and Ham.

The Dong-Yi had built the most advanced Neolithic culture.

Dong-Yi Culture greatly influenced ancient China. Dong-Yi

Culture was the root of Han Culture, which started from the Han

Dynasty, was inherited and carried forward by the Tang Dynasty,

and lasted in China for more than 2000 years.

The Dong-Yi People moved to lands of the regions we call the

Ends of the Earth before the descendants of Shem, Japheth, and

Ham reached there. They built great cultures during the Neolithic

Age, and greatly influenced ancient Oceania, America and the

Arctic Circle.

The Dong-Yi built friendly relationships with other Neolithic

people in their early history. However, later on the Dong-Yi Race

was rejected by the descendants of Shem, Japheth, and Ham.

In ancient China, they were regarded as an important minority

and alien race since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. In the Arctic

Circle, the Dong-Yi lost their lands after war with the Eskimos. In

America and Oceania, they were almost totally eliminated by the

descendants of Japheth.

During their long history, genes from the Dong-Yi had

integrated into other races. Yet their cultures, which had greatly

influenced the lands in the Ends of the Earth in the Neolithic Age,

still affect the world in some ways.

Chapter 4: The Legends of Pangu and Nüwa

linked to the Beginning and the Big Flood in

Genesis

In Ancient Chinese legend, it was Pangu who started the

universe from an initial formless state. Nüwa who appeared after

Pangu opened up the universe, carried out God’s tasks to stop the

Big Flood, repair the heavens, and establish the Four Ends of the

Earth.

The legends of Pangu and Nüwa are similar to Biblical stories

of the Creation and the Big Flood. Despite coming from vastly

different ancient civilizations, these stories have uncanny

similarities. Even though Pangu and Nüwa’s stories were regarded

as legends in China, this chapter should bring confidence that these

stories came from the same historical events as the Bible stories of

the Creation and the Big Flood; they were not fictions, but real

history.

According the Nüwa Legend, Nüwa, an angel of God, had

taken God’s task of establishing the Four Ends of the Earth.

On the other hand, Nüwa was the most important Goddess in

ancient China. We could say that Nüwa was the root of the

Dong-Yi People and their culture. As the Dong-Yi People spread

out to the Arctic Circle, America, Australia and Oceania, Nüwa

became the root of Neolithic people and their cultures in four Ends

of the Earth. It was Nüwa, an angel of God, who helped the

Neolithic people of the four Ends of the Earth to build the most

advanced Neolithic cultures.

Chapter 5: Jesus, Angels, Prophets and Satan

Jesus Christ Came to Earth after the Woman of Revelation

Chapter 12 had Given Birth to the Son and Satan had been

Hurled Down to Earth.

Revelation 12: “7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and

his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels

fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their

place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient

serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.

He was hurled to the Earth, and his angels with him.”

“10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ‘Now have come

the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the

authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,

who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled

down. 11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and

by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so

much as to shrink from death.’”

Revelation 12 tells us that after a woman had given birth to a

son, the war against Satan happened, and Satan was hurled down to

Earth. Then a loud voice from heaven announced that the Messiah

would come to the Earth (“now have come the salvation and the

power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His

Messiah”), and by the blood of the Lamb, brothers and sisters

triumphed over Satan.

Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the salvation and the power and

the kingdom of our God, the authority of His Messiah, and the

Lamb. Jesus came to the Earth after Satan had been hurled down.

The Holy Bible also gives us the following information, to let

us know that Jesus Christ came to the Earth after Satan had been

hurled down to Earth.

Luke 10 tell us that Jesus sent out the 72 to share his message,

he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” Thus

it is clear that Satan had been cast down from heaven before Jesus

Christ walked the Earth in the form of man.

Jesus worked hard to fight Satan when He was on the Earth.

Jesus said to Satan, “Away from Me, Satan! For it is written:

Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only” (Matthew 4:10).

Jesus also gave authority to his disciples to “trample on snakes and

scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy” (Luke

10:9).

All these stories let us know that once Satan had been cast

down from heaven, God sent Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Lamb,

to Earth to save mankind. Jesus Christ walked the Earth in the form

of a man, and shed His blood (as the Lamb) on the cross to wash us

from our Sins (Revelation 1:5b) and for the Christians’ final victory

over the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire (27BCE-476CE) was established after

Satan had been hurled down to Earth. Satan started persecuting

God’s people from the beginning of Roman Empire. When Jesus

Christ was on the Earth, Satan first lured Jesus Christ to join him,

but he failed (Matthew 4). Then he let his followers persecute Jesus

and crucify him. Satan also let his followers persecute those who

followed Jesus Christ.

“Brothers and sisters” who followed Jesus Christ were

persecuted to the point of death, but they did not love their lives so

much as to shrink from death; they triumphed over Satan by the

blood of the Lamb - Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:11).

The Emperor Constantine (February 27, 272-May 22, 337)

reversed the persecutions of his predecessor, Diocletian, and issued

the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed religious tolerance of

Christians throughout the Roman Empire. Since then, more people

started worshipping Jesus Christ.

When Satan saw that he could not stop mankind from

worshipping God, he was more eager to take or control the

authorities, and persecute God’s people. He also worked hard to

pretend to be God and build dragon worship on Earth.

Jesus Christ, who was born after Satan had been hurled down

to Earth, was not the Son of Revelation 12, who had been born

before Satan was hurled down to Earth.

Chapter 6: Queen of Sheba and the Queen

of the South

1Kings 10:1-13 (largely repeated in 2 Chronicles 9:1–12)

records the story of the Queen of Sheba, who heard of the great

wisdom of King Solomon of Israel and journeyed there with gifts

of spices, gold, precious stones and beautiful wood, and tested him

with questions.

Genesis 10 tells us of two Sheba(s), Sheba(1) was Joktan’s

son, the offspring of Shem, and the other Sheba(2) was Raamah’s

son, the offspring of Ham. Sheba(2) was possibly located in the

southern area of the Arabian Peninsula, today’s Yemen. However,

the Bible does not give us information about the location of

Sheba(1).

Nowadays, many people believe that the Queen of Sheba is

the Queen of the South referenced in Matthew 12:42 and Luke

11:31 in the New Testament. Here, we shall pay attention to one

key point, that the Bible uses the plural form “Ends of the Earth,”

instead of the singular “End,” in Matthew 12:42. If the Queen of

Sheba is to be the Queen of the South, she needs to fulfill all

aspects of Matthew 12:42, including coming from the Ends of the

Earth, listening to Solomon’s wisdom, and rising at judgment with

this generation and condemning it. However, the Bible does not

contain a word that the Queen of Sheba was named “the Queen of

the South,” and has never mentioned that the Queen of Sheba came

from the Ends of the Earth.

If the Queen of Sheba was an offspring of Sheba(2), and came

from the southern area of the Arabian Peninsula or Ethiopia to see

Solomon, she could not fulfill the important aspect of Matthew

12:42, “she came from the Ends of the Earth to listen to Solomon’s

wisdom,” so could not be called the Queen of the South.

Another interesting argument, which can bring connections

between the Queen of Sheba and the Ends of the Earth, is that the

Queen of Sheba was the offspring of Sheba(1), son of Joktan,

descendant of Shem. After Peleg, the Lord scattered all mankind

over the face of the whole earth, Sheba(1) and his offspring were

directed by God, began on their journeys, moving out of the

Middle East to their God’s promised lands, first to the Shandong

Peninsula, the East End of the Earth, and were named “Dong-Yi”

in ancient China, then to other Ends of the Earth.

The Queen of Sheba was an offspring of Sheba(1), who had

migrated to the Ends of the Earth in the Neolithic Age. Then we

can say that the Queen of Sheba(1) “came from the Ends of the

Earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom,” and we can say the Queen of

Sheba was the Queen of the South in Matthew 12:42.
