seal was found by scholars. Cross-cultural influences everywhere. ---Think of a
woman who had the eye-shadow powder of Egypt thick on her eyebrows to make the
area look hollow and dark. ---Powder on
the face to remove marks of getting older. ---Red toe
nails and fingers nails. ---Pearls
around the neck. ---Arm rings. ---Finger rings
on each finger of gold and silver. ---Earrings
hanging. ---The secular
habits of beautification by other nations around Israel, filled her body why?
Her heart was empty of worshipping Yahweh, the only true God. ---High-priestess,
woman- ordained for Baalism was Jezebel. ---Transgender
or Akkadian gula priests playing and eating in her palace and two
eunuchs guarding her and assisting her. ---Hundreds of
Transgender gula priests who came to Carmel were killed. ---When Ahab
told Jezebel, she had a fit and determined to kill Elijah. ---After the
closeness of God to Elijah in chapter 18 of 1 Kings, Elijah ran for his life
away from a woman in chapter 19. ---So when he
hid in a cave, God said: What are you doing here Elijah? ---God appeared
to Him with natural manifestations, commissioned him again with a task and
assured him that he is not alone for 7000 others were also faithful like
himself. ---Only me-syndrome.
“I” as opposed to “them”. ---How many of
us are saying “Lord, in the church-board it is only me”; or “Lord, in the
church it is only me”. “I am the only one who is following You, the others do
not want to”. ---The One Who
knows everything about everyone is God Who counts people’s hairs and read their
intentions and motives of their hearts desires. ---Jezebel had
an ecumenical spirit to unite Israel’s religion with Baal religion in music and
worship-styles. ---Israelite
music was given more “Pentecostal-like” waving and rhythms with Amen’s and
Hallelujah’s shouted out and it was popular among the young people. ---Her worship
music looked like her seal. Egyptian and Phoenician religious motifs. ---Ever heard
of a congregation that wants to amalgamate non-biblical woman ordination habits
of a feminism society with Pentecostal-like music of drums, electric guitars
and synthesizers and loud-speakers and microphones dished out to “silence” the
Holy Spirit speaking softly in each one’s heart? That is the Jezebel-syndrome.
---This is what
makes Catholicism wrong. They write beautifully about the Sabbath and about
Sunday in their 1983 New Constitution Legal book. Truth and falsehood
ecumenically brought together. ---Every evil
has an equal right with truth and should stand side by side having their voices
heard. That is what is wrong. ---When we choose
songs from other churches to be sung in our church, we need to ask these
questions, whether they represent the intentions of the Spirit of God in Romans
8:26. And the doctrines of overcoming, not just justification emphasized.
