Jezebel: The End Time Queen of Heaven Demoness
Page 2
The fall of Solomon began when he started ignoring some of the 'less important' (so-called) commandments of Yahweh, thinking that he was somehow 'above' them or that they were 'not applicable' to him. This kind of carnal rationalising is how all sin begins. Yah'shua (Jesus) said the very opposite - He said, in no uncertain terms, that those who break the least of the commandments, and teach others to do the same, will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.Matthew 5 verse 19). Find me a church or a community of believers who have decided to 'leave out' some of the commandments and I will show you the spirit of Jezebel at work. Show me a church which rejects any part of the Bible and I will show you Jezebel in action. Indeed, I know of one church which only accepts the Book of Acts! Their doctrine is so off the mark it's a wonder their church can be called Christian anymore! And what is their excuse?
"We have the Spirit and so we don't need the Word any more!" Such thinking, to greater or lesser degrees, is the plague of contemporary evangelical Christianity.
It's chief weakness is that it's doctrine rests on a HUGE assumption - the assumption that they have the fullness of everything and are in no need of being taught anymore (Jeremiah 31:33-34(verse 33) But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(verse 34) And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.Jeremiah 31 verses 33-34 - read this carefully). They will likely tell you that they are not sinning anymore and that they are walking in the very presence of God. The trouble is, if any of our actions contradict the moral, ethical, behavioural, or spiritual standards of Yahweh as revealed in the Word, it is evidence that we are sinning. And if we are sinning, then obviously the fullness of the Ruach (Spirit) is not in us. And if that is true, and we are believing in our minds that we have the 'fullness,' then what, in fact, do we 'have'? If you haven't already guessed, then you need to read on further.
Solomon's weakness was women. He knew what Torah taught but chose to go 'beyond' it. The weakness of men in all dispensations (and let's be completely honest here) is sex. Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with sex, because Yahweh made it and proclaimed it to be 'good' - within marriage and provided certain regulations about sexual cleanliness are also observed (like not having intercourse during a woman's menstruation - Leviticus 15:19-24(verse 19) And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
(verse 20) And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
(verse 21) And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
(verse 22) And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
(verse 23) And if it [be] on [her] bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
(verse 24) And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.Leviticus 15 verses 19-24). This is a large subject and beyond the scope of this essay - however, if you make a careful study of sex in the Bible you will discover that there are both clean and unclean practices even within marriage. And please bear this in mind: every time you disobey a commandment, you give one or more demons legal right to oppress you. And if you sin in the matter of important doctrinal areas, that touch on salvation, then those same demons will deceive you into following a false spirit too. Obviously, then, we cannot be too careful about doing things Yahweh's way.
The trouble is, most modern Christians don't want to hear these things. Solomon didn't want to hear either. He wanted his women. So he got them and Yahweh gave him over to a strong delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:2 Thessalonians 2 verse 11). When believers and unbelievers alike consciously reject them, He allows their hearts to be hardened and gives them over to "strong delusion." The key to the exposure and conquest of the spirit of Jezebel (and in principle all demons) is a choice to
(a) trust in the blood of Yah'shua (Jesus) for salvation, and
(b) obedience to all the commandments of Yahweh in the Bible (e.g. Revelation 12:17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.Revelation 12 verse 17).
This, I have found, always determines whether deliverance ministry will be successful or not. I have helped many people be quit of demons by persuading them to trust in the Name and Blood of Yah'shua (Jesus) but have come up across a wall of resistance to having the other demons thrown out because they won't obey the commandments - they have swallowed one of Jezebel's lies that the commandments don't matter any more because they're just 'religion' (how that buzz word has been used to justify all manner of sinning by Christians! - and in case you have been swallowed by the 'religion' lie of Jezebel, check out what the Bible says about the two types of religion in James 1:26-27(verse 26) If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain.
(verse 27) Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.James 1 verses 26-27).
You all know that demonisation takes place when we believe in lies. Any lie acts as a magnet for demonic oppression. The more lies you believe, the greater the oppression until it becomes (if taken to the limit) possession. Small lies do matter in the end. Anything that would allow a demon residence rights in your body matters because that demon is a wall between you and Yahweh to some degree or another; and one 'little' demon may tell you a 'little' lie that will put you in a highly dangerous situation because you were listening to its voice instead of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit).
Solomon had suffient wealth and power to have all the women he wanted. With the advent of cheap and even free porn on the internet, and national laws that have totally redefined or indeed eliminated adultery altogether as a criminal offence, men and women can pretty much do as they please these days. They can have as many partners as they want and not have to look over their shoulders at people holding them accountable to Yahweh's laws. So it will not surprise you to learn that the second Jezebel mentioned in the Bible was a false prophetess who was encouraging early New Testament believers to commit fornication, that is, having sex without the responsibilities and hedges of the marriage covenant. How did she do this? By injecting occultism and other demonic practices into the Messianic Community (Church) (Revelation 2:20Notwithstanding 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 verse 20) so that they ceased to follow the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) but followed the demoness - with all her whisperings to rebellion against Torah - instead.
Most Christians who are under the influence of Jezebel have no idea that they are under the control of occult power. They assume that just because they believe in "God" or "Jesus" and the "Bible" that they cannot possibly be occultists. But belief, as we have seen, is not mere passive assent. Biblical belief is always active and it is active because it is coupled to commandment-keeping and a lifestyle that clearly marks Christians out as being 'holy', 'set apart' and 'separated' from the non-believing and nominal Christian communities. So different is their lifestyle, in fact, that they appear to be "peculiar" to outsiders (1 Peter 2:9But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.1 Peter 2 verse 9; Titus 2:14Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.Titus 2 verse 14; Deuteronomy 14:2For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that [are] upon the earth.Deuteronomy 14 verse 2, KJV). That lifestyle, which comes about as a result of commandment-keeping, is the fruit or evidence of true faith in Christ. That which is false or untrue faith leads to a life which ignores the commandments and a lifetsyle that is either similar to, or identical with, the surrounding pagan culture.
Those who have compromised with the truth will become as Solomon became - an admirer and imitater of things pagan.
Those who have moved out of salvation and into a false spirit will like the same behaviour, music, sexual tastes, partying spirit, etc., of the pagan world. It does not seem to occur to most believers that the gulf between the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of God) and the spirit of the world is so enormous that the two might as well be metaphorically standing on opposite sides of the Grand Canyon!
True Christianity and paganism are as water and oil - they can by no means mix. And if they do mix, it is only because you have moved out of Christianity and into paganism even if you continue using the words and rituals of Christianity. Paganism can absorb Christianity, but Christianity cannot absorb paganism - ever - without first becoming tainted by it, and finally, destroyed by it.
