And I will kill her children with death and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.” – Revelation 2:21-23 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. “And I gave her space to repent of her fornication and she repented not. In similar manner to the first Jezebel, this Jezebel is also pronounced a punishment by God. This is a clear and intentional violation of God’s word. Hebrews and followers of Christ are told not to eat food sacrificed to idols. Idolatry and the worship of false gods often involved eating in addition to ritual sex.Grown people don’t need to be taught to have premarital sex. Also if you feel the need to do so on your own, just replace the word “fornication” with “premarital sex” as you read, and see if the context of the sentence makes sense. Fornication is often mistaught as “premarital sex”, but neither the Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic convey that meaning.This false doctrine included idolotry and ritual sex. Unlike the Jezebel in the Old Testament that hated the prophets and had them killed, this new Jezebel posed as a prophetess and taught false doctrine within the church. “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.” – Revelation 2:20 In the New Testament we find that a different Jezebel is alive and present, and just as destructive to the church. This seems to be the most reasonable explanation of the type of dogs that ate Jezebel. A few hyenas could eat an entire corpse of a human in less than an hour. Hyenas are also known to devour corpses, including the bones. Because Israel and Egypt share a border, it is not uncommon for Striped Hyenas to be found in Israel. The Striped Hyena is native to North and East Africa, which traditionally included Israel. It doesn’t seem logical that “dogs” would devour a human corpse in such a manner, but these may not have been dogs in the modern sense of the word. We aren’t told how much time it took Jehu to eat before giving the order to have Jezebel buried, but by the time the men go to bury her, only her head, hands, and feet were left. If the fall didn’t kill her, being trampled by horses certainly would’ve finished the job. Not only was Jezebel thrown out of a window, but upon hitting the ground her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses. And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.” – 2 Kings 9:33-35 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king’s daughter. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. When Jehu arrived, he saw Jezebel in a window with her face painted (2 Kings 9:30), so he ordered her to be thrown out the window: When it came time for Jezebel to die, her death was actually a lot more violent than just being eaten by dogs. Her digested corpse would be turned into dung (2 Kings 9:37).Her body would be unrecognizable (2 Kings 9:37).She would be eaten by dogs (2 Kings 9:10).Jezebel threatened to kill the prophet Elijah (1 Kings 19:2).īecause of what Jezebel had done in Israel, God promised that three things would happen to her.Jezebel encouraged Ahab to worship idols and commit other evils in defiance of God (1 Kings 21:25).Jezebel had Naboth stoned and his fields taken to cheer up her husband (1 Kings 21:15).During this time Obadiah the prophet helped hide 100 other prophets escape from her (1 Kings 18:4). Not long after her marriage, she began to kill the prophets. Jezebel’s marriage to Ahab was just one of many interracial marriages between the line of Ham and the line of Shem. Jezebel was a black woman from the lineage of Ham.Ham is considered the father of the black African race.Sidon / Zidon was the oldest son of Canaan.A quick summary of Jezebel’s lineage breaks down as follows: When Ahab began to reign, he took a wife named Jezebel (1 Kings 16:31), the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians. The story of old Testament Jezebel can be found across 1 Kings and 2 Kings. If you find something worth sharing, please do so. If you believe in the Jezebel spirit or know someone that does, you’re going to want to read this entire study. The traditional Christian crowd sometimes make reference to “the Jezebel spirit”, but what is it and why? The name Jezebel is mentioned 22 times in scripture (21 in the OT and 1 in the NT), but the teaching of “the Jezebel spirit” is based on the 1 mention in the New Testament.
