The Narcissistic Jezebel Spirit


 

The Narcissistic Jezebel Spirit

Revelation 2:20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. (ESV)

 

            Jezebel is the most well-known female narcissist of the Bible. King Ahab, her husband, displayed narcissistic traits, but was a co-dependent and enabler. Jezebel was the daughter of the king of Tyre, Ethbaal. Therefore, she was a princess prior to becoming queen and was known to be a priestess of the god, Baal. She enticed King Ahab to turn from the God of Israel and to worship her foreign gods, Baal and Asherah instead, in which she had 450 priests dedicated to Baal and 400 to Asherah. Jezebel was a very evil woman in that she had many of the prophets of God killed and she orchestrated the death of an innocent man to take what did not belong to her. She took no responsibility for her evil deeds and her pride remained unfailing till the very end when she met an untimely death. Jesus, so despised her wickedness, rebuked the churches for allowing her spirit to enter in their midst during John’s time on the Isle of Patmos. Let’s break down the narcissistic traits of this wicked woman, so that you will be able to discern a Narcissistic Jezebel spirit.

 

Let’s go back over the definition of a narcissist and how it relates to the Jezebel spirit.

 

Narcissist – A narcissist (Narc) is a person who has a grandiose view of themselves and their abilities. They are very self-centered and often camouflage their insecurities with the need to receive attention and admiration from others. They do not empathize with the feelings and needs of other peoples, but use deceptive acts of kindness for selfish gain, manipulation, and in so doing get their supply. They never see themselves as having done harm to anyone, but will often play the victim by shaming the real victim into guilt for the mere mention of their bad behavior – as a result, causing narcissistic injury.

 

Overview of the Narcissist Jezebel

 

a.)   Jezebel had an over-inflated ego. She had a grandiose view of herself and her abilities in that she desired to be worshiped, for she was a representative of Baal. Even though Baal could not bring rain, create life, nor grant prosperity, she led her followers to believe that he could and this is why there was a showdown between the priests of Baal and the prophet Elijah. This is similar to Lucifer who dared to think that he could be God even though he did not and still can never be omnipresent nor create anything but misery and chaos. Isaiah 14:13-14 “For you said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’ ” (NLT) Narcs’ grandiose view of themselves and their abilities are wrapped up in a package of deceit, which is of the worst kind when they deceive not only others but themselves.

 

b.)   Jezebel desired to have followers and anyone who did not grant her the attention she so wanted was put to the sword. She along with her Baal worship was in direct contrast to the things of God and therefore, those who chose to remain loyal to God and free of her idolatry was considered as a threat. 1 Kings 18:4 While Jezebel was killing off the LORD's prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water. (NIV) This type of narcissistic behavior is found in a lot of churches and often causes spiritual harm to the body of Christ. There are many Narcs in the church who want to have positions of authority not to serve God, but to rule over others. 1 Peter 5:2-3 Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.(NLT) Then there are those who are already in authority who misuse and abuse it by making others feel as if they have a monopoly on God. Therefore, you may hear such things as, “If you leave my church, you will not be blessed,” or “You need to stop church hopping and put your name on this row.” We are all one body in Christ and therefore, we do not belong to any earthly man, but the One True Holy God.

 

c.)   Jezebel did not empathize with the needs nor respected the boundaries of others. Rules did not apply to her – or so she thought. Therefore, to tell her to obey the commandments of God was considered as treachery in her mind’s view.

Psalm 28:9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. (ESV) Narcs do not like rules and boundaries. They think and act as if regulations apply to everyone else but them. When people finally have had enough of the Narc’s nonsense and decide to establish rules of engagement for the Narc to follow, they will buck against them in defiance in an attempt to make the victim or co-dependent cave in. Proverbs 16:32 Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city. (NLT)

 

d.)   Jezebel never took responsibility for her wrongs because she had a heart full of pride, arrogance, greed, idolatry, vengefulness, and wickedness. Proverbs 16:18-19 Pride goes before destruction,

and haughtiness before a fall. Better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud. (NLT) Narcs never take responsibility for anything. They will always find someone else to blame for either their problems or what they do to someone else. They often cause harm to other people in various ways, but when confronted, will have the recipient of the abuse feeling as if they are the one doing the abuse. The Jezebel Narc plays the victim well. They are able to fool many people with their ability to portray the innocent, loving, giving, and admirable traits that most people have grown to love and respect. Unfortunately, with a Narc, what you see is only an illusion. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve. (NLT)

 

Attributes of Jezebel and her co-dependent husband, Ahab.

 

1.) Ahab and Jezebel’s union should have never taken

      place.

 

The Israelites had been told by God to never intermarry with the heathen nations. To do so would have compromised their reverence for God and bring about judgment and despair. Therefore, when King Ahab married Jezebel, he knew that what he had done was against the ordinances of God. He aligned himself with evil and therefore, his sinful traits became embellished by having a wicked woman as a wife. 1 Kings 11:1-3 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh’s daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites. 2The Lord had clearly instructed the people of Israel, “You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.” Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. 3He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the Lord. (NLT)

 

Many people get into relationships that are toxic from the very beginning. Their chosen partner may not have a heart for God and as a result, there cannot be love for another person in the real sense of the word apart from who God is. Amos 3:3 Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? (NLT) Some men marry women due to lust and having the “white knight syndrome” thinking love can save all, while the alarms are going off letting them know that their choice of a partner will have undesired results. Jeremiah 13:23 Can an Ethiopian change his skin or a leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. (NIV) Likewise, some women ignore obvious warning signs of narcissistic partners for the fear of being alone and thinking that they can change that person by love alone. They often find themselves being entangled in a web that they quite often have a tough time escaping from if they ever do. Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. (ESV)

 

2.) Jezebel worshiped idols and incited Ahab to do the

      same.

 

Jezebel was unempathetic with Ahab’s background and beliefs that he should have had in regard to staying faithful to his God. It was all about what she wanted and what would appease her idolatrous ways. The reason that God did not want the Children of Israel to intermarry with foreign nations was because their hearts would be turned away from Him. As we can see all throughout Israel’s history, that’s exactly what happened repeatedly. Israel indulged themselves with Baal worship that involved acts of sexual immorality, child sacrifices, building shrines and altars, and food offerings that displeased God. Jeremiah 19:4-5 For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned incense in it to gods that neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. 5They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind. (NLT)

 

Where God made it clear that He was the only one to be worshiped, Baal worship required that one dishonor and reject the One True God; therefore, bringing a curse upon themselves. Exodus 20:3-5 “You must not have any other god but me. 4You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. 5You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.” (NLT)

 

Where God said, “Thou shall not commit adultery,” and that homosexuality and other sexually immoral practices were wrong, Baal said, “Have as much sex and whatever kind of sex you so choose.” As a result, judgment was declared by God. Unfortunately, Ahab knew better, but he allowed his codependency to get in the way of obeying God. Numbers 25:1-3 While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove, some of the men defiled themselves by having sexual relations with local Moabite women. 2These women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, so the Israelites feasted with them and worshiped the gods of Moab. 3In this way, Israel joined in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the Lord’s anger to blaze against his people. (NLT)

 

Codependent – A codependent is a person who does not love themselves independent of the beliefs and opinions of others. They attempt to please and appease the needs and demands of the narcissist in their life at their own expense of happiness. Whereas selfless acts of kindness to help others is a commendable trait to have, the codependent becomes the ultimate sacrifice in doing such acts with regards to the narcissist. The narcissist does not truly appreciate the codependent’s self-sacrifice upon their altar, for nothing is truly enough for a narcissist. If the codependent were to ever stop giving narcissist their supply, the codependent would receive the knife upon the altar of which they have lain.

 

4.) Jezebel is very controlling and as a wife will run over     

      the husband; that same spirit working within a  

      male, will be domineering towards his wife.

 

Jezebel tends to wear the pants in the household. She does not allow for the husband to be the priest of the home because it conflicts with her desire to rule over him. She will argue, fuss, fight, and belittle her husband for even trying to establish order in the home. Proverbs 21:19 It's better to live alone in the desert than with a quarrelsome, complaining wife. (NLT) She is very combative verbally and will wear the husband down until he gives in to her unrealistic demands. She does not desire to communicate in the relationship, but to manipulate. 

Jezebel will bait her husband into an argument just out of pure boredom and her lack of self-fulfillment. Proverbs 21:9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife. (ESV) She disrupts any peace that may be in the home. Once she has accomplished her goals, she will set back and enjoy the ride, while her husband is left frustrated and scratching his head as to what just took place.

Jezebel does not like the word “submission” and to expect her to submit is like asking a dog not to bark. It is only on her terms that she will submit to anything. You can ensure that when she does play the submissive wife, it is due to her getting something out of the deal because Jezebel is all about herself. 1 Peter 3:1-2 Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. (ESV)

 

Jezebel also seeks to control her adult children. She does not desire for them to be independent of her. She considers them as an extension of herself; therefore, in their desire to want a life of their own – it will be met with remarks of shame, guilt, and a sense of obligation to remain within her solitary confinement at Alcatraz. Their accomplishments in life are never of their own doing – at least in her mind. She will seek to take acknowledgement for something that she has no direct claim to. For example, she will credit teaching her children their ABC’s for their success in getting a doctorate degree. After all, she took the classes, wrote the papers, past the tests, and defended their thesis. How dare you not give her your diploma and tassel? 2 Corinthians 10:15 Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others. Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand. (NIV)

Whomever Jezebel has deemed as the scapegoat of the children will receive brutal abuse verbally and emotionally. She will degrade them for not wanting to be an extension of herself and for having ideas of their own. She will make them think that they owe her something just because she birthed them into the world. She will always blame the scapegoat for whatever problems that she and/or others in the family have. If the adult child decides to disengage from her abuse, she will defame them by having others think that they are uncaring and unloving when it fact, it is the other way around. Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. (NLT) Jezebel produces other narcissistic children as well, which was the case with her daughter, the wicked Queen Athaliah, who decided to kill her remaining family members once she came to power to eliminate any competition to her throne. 2 Kings 11:1 When Athaliah, the mother of King Ahaziah of Judah, learned that her son was dead, she began to destroy the rest of the royal family. (NLT)

 

5.) Ahab defied God by having the walls of Jericho rebuilt

and therefore, as part of idol worship and the curse that Joshua pronounced over anyone who would rebuild Jericho’s walls, his builder’s first and last-born sons had to be sacrificed. 1 Kings 16:34 In Ahab's time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the LORD spoken by Joshua son of Nun. (NIV)

 

Ahab’s narcissist side came out with him knowing the history concerning the walls of Jericho falling and that anyone who even attempted to rebuild them would pay dearly at the expense of their children’s lives. He, however did not care about the person who had to do the building nor about God. Joshua 6:26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: "Cursed before the LORD is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho: "At the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates." (NIV)

 

      Narcissists do not empathize with the feelings and needs of others. Therefore, they will do things that not only will hurt others, but will have no remorse as long as it gets them their desired results. No one else’s feelings matter in the eyes of a narcissist except their own. Their feelings and wants take top priority over everyone else and if that means walking over someone to get where they need to go – so be it. Proverbs 10:9 Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. (ESV)

 

6.) Jezebel considered herself to be religious, but her

     doctrine was false.

 

As a priestess of Baal, Jezebel considered her gods to be superior to the Lord above. She had such a hatred for the things of God that she killed many of God’s prophets. Jezebel despised authority and anyone who would set boundaries that she had to follow would be eliminated. 1 Kings 18:4 While Jezebel was killing off the LORD's prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water. (NIV)

 

Narcissists do not like boundaries and therefore, anyone who tries to place restrictions on them as to how the narcissist is to act and/or how they are to treat others will face brutal opposition and backlash. For example, if a spouse tells their narcissist that bills must be paid before going on a shopping spree, the narcissist will rip the spouse’s character apart and demean them for not bringing in enough money. If an adult child of a narcissist demands to be treated with respect, the narcissistic parent will declare their right to disregard such notions because parental rights supersede the adult child’s need for respect. 

 7.) The prophet, Elijah, was King Ahab and Queen

      Jezebel’s scapegoat because they refused to

      acknowledge that their sins brought about undesired

      consequences from God.

 

          God withheld rain for three years because of the idolatry that was taking place under the leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. This was to let them know that He alone was God and that their gods, Baal and Asherah, could do not for them. Both Ahab and Jezebel did not view their disobedience as the cause for the drought upon the land, but rather placed the blame upon Elijah with whom they considered to be a thorn in their side. 1 Kings 18:16-18 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17When he saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?” 18“I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You have abandoned the Lord’s commands and have followed the Baals. (NIV)

 

          Narcissist never take responsibility for their actions or the harm that they inflict upon others. They will always find a way to blame others for their bad behavior. Therefore, it does little good to confront a narcissist about their actions because you will find that they will never admit to anything. They will always make an excuse as to why they acted in a certain manner and will oftentimes blame you for what they did. They are master chess players when it comes to mind games and will have you confused and second-guessing yourself when they are done with you. You cannot change what you never admit to. Therefore, the one who is victimized by a narcissist should not expect for them to be repentant of anything. In the narcissist mind, they do no wrong. The faster the one victimized by their behavior can accept this unfortunate reality, the sooner healing and recovery can begin. 

 

8.) Jezebel will have you doubting yourself and will bring

      about feelings of depression, despair, and loneliness.

 

We see that in the case of Elijah, he had just gone toe to toe with Jezebel’s idolatrous priests. Yet, he was brought down to feelings of despair and hopelessness due to her threats of wanting to take his life. 1 Kings 19:4 Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, LORD," he said. "Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died." (NLT)

 

Jezebels can have the most successful person feel as if their accomplishments mean nothing. They know how to prick at the very sensitive part of an individual to bring them down to the lowest of lows. Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. (NIV) In order to do battle with Jezebel, you need to know who you are in God. Jezebels love to have you in isolation where you are at your weakest. They do not want others to be around to support you and will therefore, try to move you away from those who can see through their demonic behavior and offer you support spiritually, emotionally, and even physically. They want you to have no one else to lean on but them and when they are able to isolate you, they can abuse and misuse you any way they like because they know that there is no one to come to your rescue. They are happy if you lose friends, family, and/or other loved ones because this plays into their net of control.  

 

9.) Jezebel seeks to destroy to the prophets of God and

      those who serve Him.

Jezebels aim to bring down the servants of God. They do not want people to have a relationship with God for themselves, but they seek to have individuals come to them as if they are the mediator between God and themselves. This is called Self Worship. 1 Kings 18:13 Haven't you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD? I hid a hundred of the LORD's prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water. (NIV)

 

Jezebels may have a gift for the prophetic that they will use to manipulate others into doing their bidding. They hold individuals spiritually captive in that they do not encourage nor allow for the people of God to have a personal relationship with Him for themselves because if they do, people will begin to see through the Jezebels’ acts of spiritual manipulation. Remember, Jezebels are all about control and therefore, you will find this spirit even in leaders within the body of Christ. You may hear things such as:

 

“You can only get prayers answered if you go through me.”

“If you leave my church, you will be cursed.”

“Should you not do as I say, the hand of God will come down on you.”

“The only way that you can get blessed is if the blessings come through me first.”

 

These are just a few ways that Jezebels use spiritual manipulation to control their victims. To go a step further, this is a form of witchcraft and sorcery. Also, if you are in leadership, Jezebels will try to point out every fault that you may possess in order to have you to doubt your calling into ministry. They will throw up your ministry in any argument as a way to gain power over you and have you cave-in to their distortions.

 

10.) With Jezebel, you have no rights to be an individual or

       to have a separate identity apart from hers.

 

Jezebels aim to control at all cost. She never submits to anyone, but everyone is expected to submit to her. In Jezebel’s mind, she is the center of the universe and everyone else is just an extension of who she is. You are not allowed to be a free-thinker and move independently of Jezebel. You owe everything that you are to Jezebel.

 

The narcissist has a sense of entitlement. They make others feel as if the world owes them something for what they failed to get in life or if they have received recognition in the past, they think that everyone should continue to bow to their royal highness. They feel that they are special and that they are deserving of things even if they did nothing to earn them. If the narcissist parents did not provide for them, the spouse of the narcissist will be obligated to provide everything for the narcissist. If the narcissist did not receive love as a child, the narcissist’s children will be expected to show their undying love in ways that are often unrealistic and impossible to accomplish.

 

11.) Jezebel will use her flying monkeys to do her evil

        bidding. Micah 2:1-2 Woe to those who plan iniquity,

         to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning’s light

         they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.

             2They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take

         them. They defraud people of their homes, they rob them

         of their inheritance. (NLT)

 

        Jezebel, in a wicked attempt to get the farmer  

        Naboth’s land, that her husband coveted, she had

        scoundrels to falsely accuse Naboth of blaspheming God and the king. She knew that this would incite the people’s anger and would justify their killing of him in order to eliminate her husband’s hindrance to getting what he desperately desired. 1 Kings 21:8-10 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, placed his seal on them, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city with him. 9In those letters she wrote: “Proclaim a day of fasting and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 10But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them bring charges that he has cursed both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death.” (NLT)

 

Narcissist will use “flying monkeys” to do their bidding to get their desired results. For example, a person who may be trying to break free of the narcissist control can sometimes expect friends and loved ones of the narcissist to pressure them into remaining in contact with the narcissist. Even if the victim explains to them the situation, they are so entangled into the deceptive web of the narcissist that they will not hear and/or understand from the viewpoint of the victim and will therefore, try to convince the victim that they are wrong in going no contact with the narcissist.

 

The narcissist is all too happy to have their flying monkeys act on their behalf because if frees them of any responsibility to have the victim crawl back into their web as a sign of defeat. The narcissist does not care about the victim, but only cares about the image that it portrays when the victim is no longer a part of their manipulative mind control. 

 

12.) Jezebel is a friend to no one, but has many friends and

       acts of kindness are really disguised gifts of

       manipulation. 

 

Jezebel declared a fast because she knew that the Children of Israel were used to the idea of fasting and that this way, she could easily set her plan into motion to kill the farmer, Naboth. She had Naboth to be given a temporary place of honor in order to set him up for the kill. Naboth, blindly walked into her trap and met his demise.

 

Narcissists will often look like the most giving people on the planet. They are normally the ones that others see as living a life of selflessness. They may be your teachers, peace officers, coaches, and other areas where service is provided for the needs of others. This is how they often deceive the masses because their outward works tend to camouflage their inward character.

 

Narcissist do not give just for the sake of kindness, but their gift-giving is just another way to control and manipulate others. For example, a narcissist may help a person who has just been burnt out of their home by providing money, food, clothes, and shelter. Although it looks admirable, the narcissist is expecting the person to be loyal to them for life and to give them praise and admiration for their act of kindness; therefore, providing the narcissist with a fresh source of narcissistic supply (self-gratification, respect, and appreciation). The act of kindness was not for the individual who was the recipient of the act, but solely for the narcissist. The difference between one giving from the heart and giving for selfish motives is that the giver of the heart will never use it for manipulation, but the giver for self will always throw their gifts up in your face.

 

13.) Jezebel will reverse the role of the victim onto herself

        when in actuality, she is the one doing the victimizing.

 

When Jezebel was about to meet her demise, she made accusations of Jehu in regard to being a traitor. However, she failed to make mention of the fact that she had killed innocent people and that her reign was one of pure evil and vindictiveness against the servants of God.

 

Narcissists are good at playing the victim’s card. They will make you feel as if you have wronged them when you mention their bad behavior. They will accuse you of being a troublemaker, trying to put them down, causing chaos and confusion, exaggerating events, and/or holding on to grudges. They will also blame you for something that you may have done in the past to excuse their present behavior. For example, the narcissist may have spoken to their spouse in a harsh tone needlessly, but when confronted about it, the narcissist will excuse their bad behavior with their spouse overspending on the groceries 5 years ago. Another example is the adult child may confront their narcissistic parent about their need to always put them down, but the narcissist will contribute it to the child taking the car for an unauthorized spin as a teenager. With narcissists, all logic gets thrown out of the window.

 

14.) Jezebel is all about her outward persona rather than

        inward attributes. 2 Kings 9:30 Then Jehu went to

        Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye   

        makeup, arranged her hair and looked out of a window. 31  

       As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in

       peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?” (NLT)

 

Prior to Jezebel falling to her death, she made her face ready for she probably knew that she was going to be killed by Jehu, the newly anointed king of Israel. Therefore, she was going to go down looking as a queen and priestess of Baal. Many believe that Jezebel fixed her face up as a means for seduction, and even if that were partly true, there is another aspect to look at. Narcissists are concerned more with how others view them over what harm they have done to their victims. Therefore, Jezebel was concerned about her self-image above all else. Her putting on her makeup and readying herself for whatever came was her final act of defiance against God and those who were servants of His. This moves to the final point.

 

15.) Jezebel does not have a heart of humility. Therefore,

       expecting to receive a sincere apology or for her to

       change is not likely to happen. You cannot change   

       what you never admit.

 

Jezebel was determined to the end that she was not going to repent of her wicked ways. Instead of humbling herself, she remained proud, arrogant, and unrepentant. She fixed herself up as if to say, “You may kill me, but I will never be defeated.”  Pride always come before the fall and that is literally what took place with Jezebel. She did her last act of pride before she was thrown out of a window and given as food to the dogs. What remained of her was only her skull, hands, and feet.

 

Skull- Devised wicked schemes.

Hands – The blood of the prophets were on her hands.

Feet – Where quick in running to do evil.
