Jezebel

Diabolical. Wicked. Deceiving. Whew!

We’re talking aboutJezebel today. Someone we can learn from, as in how NOT to be! The story of Jezebel is quite astonishing.

These stories take place in the time of Kings. The main problem in this time is that evil Kings provoked the Lord God through worshiping foreign idols.

Learn who Jezebel was, her ‘Queening’ style, and learn how God worked in and through these stories. The other main characters besides Jezebel are: King Ahab, Obadiah, the Prophet Elijah, and Naboth.

Learn what happens when King Ahab, a jew, marries Jezebel, a foreign pagan princess, and what transpires from this marriage.

God works in and through these stories. Find out who was redeemed because they humbled themselves before the Lord!
