Wandering tribes of wild Arabs shall come and bow before Christ, and lay their wealth at his feet.

Charles H. Spurgeon
All they from Sheba shall come they shall bring gold and incense, and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. Pastoral people-travelers from place to place in the wilderness-shall come to...
