Jezebel

Jezebel married King Ahab of Israel and pushed a pagan system of social welfare like Baal and the turtledove goddess of Sumer. This would cause the people of Israel to abandon the freewill offerings of the altars and tables of Jehovahnissi supposedly through forging her husband's seal on documents.
Old Testament scholar Marjo Korpel suggests that there were originally two letters: a lamed and an aleph, the first letter of Jezebel's name. If restored could read "(belonging) to Jezebel." On display at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Photo by Utrecht University.

Jezebel

Jezebel interfered with the exclusive worship of the Hebrew God, Yahweh, by disregarding or ignored the rights of the common people and seduced the masses through deception.

And by defying the great prophets Elijah and Elisha, she provoked strife that would degenerate Israel for decades.

She has come to be known as an archetype of the wicked woman and the symbol of false religion. That false religion was her public religion which was called idolatry. The covetous practices of the governments of the world and their citizens who are greedy for gain at the expense of others.

By manipulation, deception, and seduction, she misled the saints of God and the people into sins of idolatry and covetous practices in the institution of a form of public religion.

In particular, Christians associated the Jezebel spirit with fornication and whoredom.

The Jezebel spirit produced the Corban of the pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. The same is true of the New Deal and Great Society other social welfare through men who exercise authority one over the other contrary to the doctrine of Jesus who was the Christ.

The cosmetics which Jezebel applied before her death was simply covering her lie much as the modern Church does today.

Jezebel of Revelation

Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols."

The men of the church in Thyatira like Ahab allowed the Jezebel-like spirit to dominate the institution of the church of Thyatira.

The Church as a body represents the character of a woman as a caregiver and the Bride of Christ who feeds his sheep.

The Church as instituted by Christ functioned like a pure republic. As a government it did not exercise authority one over the other. Like the Church in the wilderness it's minister (clergy, public servants) did not go up by steps. Like the Altars of clay and stone of Abraham and Moses the function of those "living stones" was entirely dependent on the freewill offerings of the elders who were the heads of families gathered in the "Tens" as Christ commanded which is seen as free asemblies or congregations.

The Church had no authority over the people either nor the Holy Spirit as the Comforter sent by the Father and Son of God. Their doctrine had to confirm to the Doctrine of Jesus or it became by default the doctrine of men.

The Jezebel-spirit introduced the immorality of covetous practices in the form of legal charity which Paul said is idolatry.

The church which conforms to that way commits fornication, even adultery with the civil government the people create for themselves. That state provides the daily bread and social welfare for the people but that welfare is a snare and a trap as David and Paul told us.

The ministers of the church cannot adopt this these ways without the elders of the congregations of the people taking on the spirit of Arab. The [[elders] may desire to blaim the church as Adam once claimed Eve and even God.

The church which allows it's mission to be supplanted by what is symbolically called "Jezebel" in the way that Jerusalem would be symbolically called Sodom and Egypt in its time of iniquity.

The Jezebel spirit of the church in Thyatira was the same spirit that brought iniquity and wickedness to Israel.

The same is true of the spirit of the "morning star" that Isaiah 14:12 applied to a king of Babylon which gave rise to the general use of the Latin word for "morning star", capitalized, as the original name of the devil before his fall from grace.

This linking of Isaiah 14:12 with Luke 10 ("I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven") warns us of the fate that follow the error of Jezebel and Ahab which includes the "error of Balaam" and the ""deeds of the Nicolaitans" which God hates.

1 Kings 16:31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 1 Kings 18:4 For it was [so], when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 1 Kings 18:13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD’S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 1 Kings 18:19 Now therefore send, [and] gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table. 1 Kings 19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 1 Kings 19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time. 1 Kings 21:5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 1 Kings 21:7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 1 Kings 21:11 And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 1 Kings 21:14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. 1 Kings 21:15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 1 Kings 21:23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. 1 Kings 21:25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. 2 Kings 9:7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. 2 Kings 9:10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and [there shall be] none to bury [her]. And he opened the door, and fled. 2 Kings 9:22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, [Is it] peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts [are so] many? 2 Kings 9:30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it]; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. 2 Kings 9:36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This [is] the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: 2 Kings 9:37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel.
