That Woman, Jezebel

1 Kings 16:30-33

Now Ahab, The Son of Omri, DID Evil IN The SIGHT OF The LORD (GOD Almighty), MORE THAN ALL, Who WERE BEFORE Him (Ahab).  And IT CAME TO PASS, AS THOUGH IT Had BEEN A Trivial Thing, For Him (Ahab) TO WALK IN the sins of Jeroboam, The Son of Nebat, That He (Ahab) TOOK AS Wife, Jezebel, The Daughter of Ethbaal, King of The Sidonians; and He (Ahab) WENT AND Served Baal AND Worshiped Him (Baal).  THEN, He (Ahab) SET UP an Altar FOR Baal IN The Temple OF Baal, Which He (Ahab) Had Built IN Samaria.  And Ahab MADE A Wooden Image.  Ahab DID MORE TO PROVOKE The LORD GOD OF Israel TO ANGER, Than ALL The Kings OF Israel, Who WERE BEFORE Him (Ahab).

1 Kings 18:1-4, 17-19

And IT CAME TO PASS, AFTER Many Days, That The WORD OF The LORD (GOD Almighty) CAME TO Elijah, IN The Third (3rd) Year, SAYING, “GO, PRESENT Yourself TO Ahab, AND I (GOD Almighty) WILL SEND RAIN ON The Earth.”  So, Elijah WENT TO PRESENT Himself TO Ahab; AND There WAS A Severe Famine IN Samaria.  And Ahab Had CALLED Obadiah, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF His (Ahab’s) House.

Now, Obadiah FEARED The LORD (GOD Almighty) GREATLY.  FOR SO IT WAS, While Jezebel MASSACRED The Prophets OF The LORD (GOD Almighty), That Obadiah Had TAKEN One Hundred (100) Prophets AND HIDDEN Them, Fifty TO A CAVE, AND Had FED Them WITH Bread AND Water.

THEN IT HAPPENED, When Ahab SAW Elijah, That Ahab said to Him (Elijah), “IS THAT YOU, O TROUBLER OF Israel?”  And He (Elijah) answered, “I Have NOT TROUBLED Israel, BUT YOU (Ahab) AND Your father’s House HAVE, IN THAT YOU (Ahab) Have FORSAKEN The Commandments OF The LORD (GOD Almighty) AND Have Followed The Baals.  Now therefore, SEND AND GATHER ALL Israel TO Me (Elijah) ON Mount Carmel, The Four Hundred and Fifty (45) prophets of Baal, AND The Four Hundred (400) prophets of Asherah, Who EAT AT Jezebel’s Table.”  [See: Elijah’s Victory ON Mount Carmel, 1 Kings 18:20-40]

1 Kings 19:1-2

And Ahab TOLD Jezebel All That Elijah Had DONE, ALSO HOW He (Elijah) Had EXECUTED All the prophets WITH The Sword.  THEN, Jezebel SENT A Messenger TO Elijah, saying, “So, let the gods do to me (Jezebel), and more also, IF I Do NOT Make Your (Elijah’s) Life, AS The Life of One of Them, BY TOMORROW, About THIS TIME.”

1 Kings 21:7-14, 23-25

THEN, Jezebel, His (Ahab’s) Wife, said to Him (Ahab), “YOU Now Exercise Authority OVER Israel!  Arise, EAT Food, AND Let Your Heart BE CHEERFUL; I Will Give YOU The Vineyard OF Naboth, The Jezreelite.”  And She (Jezebel) Wrote Letters IN Ahab’s Name, SEALED Them WITH His SEAL, AND Sent The Letters TO The Elders AND The Nobles, Who Were Dwelling in The City with Naboth.  She (Jezebel) Wrote IN The Letters, saying, Proclaim A Fast, AND Seat Naboth WITH High Honor Among The People; AND Seat Two Men, SCOUNDRELS, BEFORE Him (Naboth) TO Bear Witness AGAINST Him (Naboth), saying, “YOU (Naboth) Have BLASPHEMED GOD (GOD Almighty) AND The King (Ahab).”  THEN TAKE Him (Naboth) OUT, AND STONE Him (Naboth), That He (Naboth) May DIE.

So, The Men of His City, The Elders AND Nobles, Who Were Inhabitants of His City, DID AS Jezebel Had SENT TO Them, AS IT WAS Written IN The Letters, Which She (Jezebel) Had SENT TO Them.  They Proclaimed A Fast, AND SEATED Naboth WITH High Honor Among The People.  AND Two Men, SCOUNDRELS, CAME IN AND SAT BEFORE Him (Naboth); AND The SCOUNDRELS WITNESSED AGAINST Him, AGAINST Naboth, IN The Presence of The People, Saying, “Naboth Has BLASPHEMED GOD (GOD Almighty) AND The King (Ahab)!”  THEN, They TOOK Him (Naboth) OUTSIDE The City AND STONED Him (Naboth), WITH STONES, SO That He (Naboth) DIED.  THEN, They SENT TO Jezebel, Saying, “Naboth Has Been STONED AND IS DEAD.”

AND CONCERNING Jezebel, The LORD (GOD Almighty) ALSO SPOKE, SAYING, ‘The Dogs Shall EAT Jezebel BY The Wall of Jezreel.’  The Dogs Shall EAT Whoever BELONGS TO Ahab AND DIES IN The City, AND The Birds of The Air Shall EAT Whoever DIES IN The Field.”  BUT, There WAS NO ONE, LIKE Ahab, Who SOLD Himself TO DO Wickedness, IN The SIGHT OF The LORD (GOD Almighty), BECAUSE Jezebel, His Wife, STIRRED Him (Ahab) UP.

2 Kings 9:22, 30-37

Now it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that He (Joram) said, “Is it Peace, Jehu?”  So He (Jehu) answered, “What Peace, AS LONG AS The Harlotries OF Your Mother, Jezebel, AND Her (Jezebel) WITCHCRAFT ARE SO MANY?”

Now, When Jehu Had COME TO Jezreel, Jezebel HEARD OF IT; AND She (Jezebel) PUT PAINT ON Her (Jezebel’s) Eyes AND ADORNED Her (Jezebel’s) Head, AND LOOKED THROUGH A Window.  THEN, AS Jehu ENTERED AT The Gate, She (Jezebel) said, “IS IT PEACE, Zimri, Murderer of Your Master?”

And He (Jehu) LOOKED UP AT The Window, and said, “Who IS ON My Side?  WHO?”  So, Two OR Three Eunuchs LOOKED OUT AT Him (Jehu).  Then He (Jehu) said, “THROW HER (Jezebel) DOWN.”  So They THREW Her (Jezebel) DOWN, AND SOME OF Her (Jezebel’s) Blood SPATTERED ON The Wall AND ON The Horses; AND He (Jehu) TRAMPLED Her (Jezebel) UNDERFOOT.  And When He (Jehu) Had GONE IN, He (Jehu) ATE AND DRANK.  THEN He (Jehu) said, “GO NOW, SEE TO THIS ACCURSED Woman (Jezebel), AND BURY Her, FOR She WAS A King’s Daughter.”  So, They WENT TO BURY Her, BUT They FOUND NO MORE OF Her (Jezebel) Than The Skull AND The Feet AND The Palms OF Her (Jezebel’s) Hands.  Therefore, They Came Back and Told Him (Jehu).  And He (Jehu) said, “THIS IS The WORD OF The LORD (GOD Almighty), Which He (GOD Almighty) SPOKE BY His (GOD Almighty’s) Servant, Elijah, The Tishbite, SAYING, ‘ON The PLOT OF GROUND AT Jezreel, Dogs Shall EAT The Flesh OF Jezebel; AND The CORPSE OF Jezebel Shall BE AS REFUSE ON The Surface of The Field, IN The Plot AT Jezreel, SO That They Shall NOT Say, “HERE LIES Jezebel.”’”

Revelation 2:20-21

Nevertheless, I (Jesus Christ) Have A FEW THINGS AGAINST YOU, BECAUSE YOU ALLOWED That Woman, Jezebel, Who Calls Herself a prophetess, TO TEACH AND SEDUCE My Servants TO COMMIT Sexual Immorality AND EAT Things Sacrificed TO Idols.  AND I GAVE Her (Jezebel) TIME TO REPENT OF Her (Jezebel) Sexual Immorality, AND She (Jezebel) DID NOT REPENT.

Fellow Believers, These Scriptures are NOT All of The Scriptures (from The Holy Bible), which discuss Jezebel, but I think These Scriptures GIVE Us The Correct Perspective of Jezebel.  She was quite an Evil Woman, She LEAD Her Husband, King Ahab, AWAY FROM GOD Almighty AND INTO The Evil Hands of FALSE gods, FALSE idols, and The FALSE worship thereof.  She also SET UP Naboth TO BE MURDERED, simply because Her Husband, King Ahab, wanted Naboth’s Vineyard.  BUT, as We can see, GOD Almighty Passed Judgment UPON Jezebel, FOR Her Wicked Ways!

Fellow Believers, We KNOW We WILL BE, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, For Eternity, Forever!

Revelation 3:10

Because YOU (Believers) Have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR OF TRIAL (The Great Tribulation), Which Shall COME UPON The Whole World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) Who Dwell ON The Earth.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, WILL DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The VOICE of an Archangel, AND WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty).  And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) WILL RISE First.  THEN We (Living Believers) WHO ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR.  And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).

The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, There IS NO Time TO Waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ.
