JEZEBEL
Greeting. Jezebel is a 1938 American romantic film by Warner brother’s studio. Never saw the whole movie, but being somewhat familiar with the Biblical character of the same name. 1 Kings 16: 31And it came to pass, as it had been alight thing for him
[Ahab, a physical King of ancient Israel around 1020 B.C] to walk in the sins Jeroboam [ A physical king of ancient Judah] the son of Nebatm that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped. As always, we ask the Spirit of truth to show us the hidden wisdom contained in the Bible. Let’s observe what can the Spirit reveal to us starting in the following verse: 1Kings 21: 5 But Jezebel his wife came [Ahab]to him, and said unto him, why is thy spirit so sad., that thou eatest no bread? Years before God started revealing his word to me; I always read the Bible as kind of a history book. I loved history in school and with a report card were C’s surrounded the only A in my history class and stood out a beacon of hope. The carnal mind of men associates the name Jezebel with evil, people just don’t name their daughters Jezebel. Now a woman in the Bible represent the law. As I pointed out in previous letters, the Supreme Court used the image of a woman to represent the Laws of the United States. Now when we don’t use the Bible lawfully we make the spiritual woman or law into a harlot. We transgress by making God's Law our own wisdom. Roman 1:27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,[ The natural use would be to allow God to give us the spiritual meaning] burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.To the carnally minded this only deal with the sexual to the Spiritual minded: this deals with how you interpret the Bible. Men or women lusting after the wisdom of other carnally minded people. This wisdom can never get you out of hell and with you die you return to the dust. And receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. What is this a recompence? It has to do with your reward. When we lust after the vain thoughts of men, that’s all we will receive: vain thoughts as a reward. Job 15:31Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence. The lord must save us from our vain thoughts about him, then He can be our salvation or reward: a recompence. Jezebel, represents our wisdom and as a mental queen that sits in the temple[mind] where the virgin bride or God's word should [ His word] reign. Romans 6:12Let not sin therefore reign in the mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lust thereof. This all happens in our mind: our own mortal thoughts about the words of God is sin and reigns in the mind; these thoughts we will honor as spiritual kings and queens. We also fear these thoughts and who we fear we obey: Jezebel was feared. 1 Kings 19:3And when saw he [Elijah]that, he arose, and went for his life. The spiritual Jezebel in all of us will spiritually slain any wisdom God desires to give us. 1 Kings 19:1And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
And receiving in themselves that recompence of their error. Isaiah 35:4Say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Has this ever happen to you? You had this crazy thought to do something dangerous, then you thought that thought could get you killed. You took vengeance on that foolish thought. When we realize that we can’t see anything Spiritually without God’s help: then there’s a reward coming. Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. We are all born spiritually blind and useless and can do nothing without God. John 15:5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. King Ahab already had a vineyard: I will give thee[Naboth] another vineyard for it. I King 21: 2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seen good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. Ahab's or men vineyards cannot produce anything Spiritually. I have great confidence that God with reward me with his Spiritual truth if I don’t let a spiritual Jezebel, entice my mind to do evil. Jezebel, represents a greater thought that’s contrary against God’s reveal word. Let’s say for twenty years I was taught that when you died you go to hell. Psalm 16:10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. When you read the above verse for the first time; with the Spirit striving to show you something different, your mind gets offended. That would mean that sixteen million Baptist never even Spiritually saw that verse or the next verse. Psalm 104:29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. So that would mean the millions or Baptists, Pentecostals or any other flattering titles they want to give themselves are wrong about Hell. Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. God does not accept or respect man’s person or opinion on His words. James 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. Millions of us have transgressed God's law by making it our own wisdom; it does it matter how many people agree to a lie about his character. Numbers 26:65For the LORD had said of them, they shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. Two people made it to the promise land in the Bible, while the overwhelming majority of them died in the wilderness. Now in the past all a physical government must do is to convince most or overwhelming majority of their people; the other side are an evil nation: so go kill those bastards. God formed us all out of the dust; there is no different: we are all born spiritually dead and our father is the devil; unless God becomes our father in heaven. 1 Kings 21:2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. Let us for a moment, see ourselves as King Ahab, who wants something, a vineyard. 1 Kings 21:6And he said unto [Jezebel] her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. Naboth, physically knew what he possesses and refuse to part with it. Spiritual modern men has not a clue what he could possess: the hidden treasures from God’s word that God would like to reveal to us. In the next verse: Naboth reveal why he would not sale-out. 1 Kings 21:3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. Would a man would lose his life for an inheritance? Spiritually we do because we respect a man's person and reject the person of God. James 3:17 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are becomes judges of evil thoughts? All of our own thoughts concerning God's word are evil, thus we are great transgressors. 1 Kings 21:4And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. Spiritual there’s so many new revelations in these verses to be seen and I feel God’s grace is sufficient to obtain a precious few of them. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee. Spiritually we could an inheritance in heaven, Naboth had a inheritance from his father and we to: if God’s reveals His wisdom it to us. Ecclesiastes 7:11Wisdom is good with an inheritance. The Bible is the promise land; an inheritance given to men, who instead defile themselves by adding their detestable thoughts and opinions on it. It is God’s inheritance, will we make it abominable? Yes, on any given Sunday. Jeremiah 16:18And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things. When God is making His word known unto you, you become a true witness to the words of His grace. Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Carnally minded people sell God’s inheritance for their own wisdom, never realizing the Spiritual inheritance God had laid up for them. Proverbs 23:23Buy the truth, and sell it not; also, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Where would we get the spiritual monies to buy the inheritance in Heaven? Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Matthew 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and brought it. The Spiritually blind can only see their own glory about God’s word and will not seek after what is hidden. Ephesians 1:18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Right now, if you’re reading this, you should pause and give thanks. Colossians 1:12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.1 Kings 21:1And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. Spiritually what does Naboth vineyard represents? God’s word, which wicked men will corrupt themselves in it. Jeremiah 12:10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. God lets out his word to see what men will do to His vineyard. Matthew 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:34and when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.35And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.37But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, they will reverence my son.38But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. Naboth was cast out of his own vineyard and murdered by false witnesses; we’re all born with our own false witness about the Bible. 1 Kings 21:13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. We must produce Spiritual fruit, and this is done by God revealing his hidden truth to us. But instead we seize on his inheritance and take possession of it. We produce multitudes of false witnesses in our mind against the meaning of the scriptures, and we spiritually stone and kill every word in the vineyard. 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.
