Jezebel’s Modus Operandi

The politics of false accusation and the destruction of reputation

“…and seat tow worthless men before him, and let them testify against him…”

1 Kings 21:10.

In 1 Kings 21 we read the story of Naboth’s Vineyard. This piece of property was located outside the walls of the palace in Jezreel. King Ahab sets his sights on owning this property because of the beauty Naboth had created in maintaining it. In approaching Naboth and wanting to make a trade of property, Ahab was reminded of the Law of Moses that forbid an Israelite to give up their inheritance. This property was the inheritance of Naboth. Returning to his chamber and sulking over the rejection of his offer, Ahab’s wife Jezebel inquired of him as to the nature of his sorrow. Discovering that it was Naboth’s rejection of his proposal to transfer property rights to Ahab, Jezebel set out to destroy Naboth, a righteous man with a reputation of high integrity. In setting her trap she bribed two men [the law says any two witnesses against you can condemn you—Deuteronomy 17:6] to falsely accuse Naboth of a high crime and misdemeanor against God. The crime would be blasphemy. The penalty was death by stoning.

Current Events

In recent days we have witnessed the actions of the Jezebel spirit in our nation’s capital. The false accusations presented by the US Congress concerning the President of the United States to incite insurgency and revolution. No trial, no investigation, and no opportunity to defend himself which is the basic rights of all US citizens in accordance with the US Constitution. The President was never given his day in court. This is a basic right that every American would expect. This whole action reeks of Jezebel!

This spirit is wholly set on destroying the United States as we know it. This spirit is hell-bent on silencing the church and the evangelistic measures the church takes to spread the gospel throughout the world. Why? Because this President, President Donald J. Trump, has been the most pro-Judeo-Christian President in modern history. False accusations and destruction of reputation is the order of the day with this demon from hell.

The evidence does not bear out to the truth of the reasons for his impeachment. Evidence shows that he never called for rioting, as Democrats have done in Portland, Minneapolis, New York City, and other parts of the country. Evidence shows that BLMers and antifa terrorists disguised and Trump supporters stormed the Capital Building and the Senate and Congressional chambers. The FBI just recently arrested one of the BLM antagonists partly responsible for this whole debacle. Evidence shows that this was planned weeks in advance, and it is thought that some government officials were aware of the planning.

In Naboth’s situation, Jezebel planned a party of deception in order to trap Naboth and bring false accusation against him. Jezebel’s modus operandi has not changed in 2,000 years. This is her sting; false accusations and damaged reputations. Her purpose is to rob the church of its inheritance as she did with Naboth.

Naboth is symbolic of Jezebel’s PLANNED attack on the Presidency. A lying and deceptive spirit has infiltrated the hearts of many in Congress and their ire is beyond reason. They are so hellbent on destroying America’s great institution, the Presidency, solely because Trump is the holder of the office. They have used every lie that hell can muster in order to take him down. Instead of reason, they have given way to emotions. They do it in the name of democracy, “Save the Republic” is their cry, in what they believe to be the true American way. It is all a sham! “Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!” They are clamoring for power plain and simple not realizing that they are under a deluding spirit working with the plans of Jezebel. They do not have the eyes to see nor the ears to hear what the Lord is saying in the midst of these unfolding events. And the world is watching, and Israel is waiting because the rise or fall of the Jewish state is dependent in part on what transpires in America. The missionaries around the world are dependent upon the spiritual condition of the American church. If we fail them, then we will see a greater outpouring of Christian persecution as never before.

The Lord has a game plan

“While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape” 1 Thes. 5:3.

Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 28:18, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” God’s will has been accomplished through the work of Jesus Christ. The church will reign with Him in eternity. Whatever persecution Jezebel can muster toward the bells of freedom and the sons of liberty, whatever damage she believes she can do to the reputation of the righteous, and whatever lying accusations she can wield against the office of God’s chosen man cannot be crushed. The Lord has established His kingdom wherever the church walks, and the church walks the length, the breadth, and width of America. In a common cause we are One with the Father and His words to the unrighteous will ring throughout all eternity. “Then He will say to those on the left*, “Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels…” Matthew 25:41.

*Note: The use of the word “Left” is not an indication of a political belief. In Hebrew tradition, turning to the left, sitting at the left, etc. is an indication of straying from the truth. It is a turning away from righteousness and those who placed themselves their walk-in sinfulness. Whereas those who are at the right walk in the favor of the Lord.

In the days to come, the remnant of true believers will bring about a revival and reaping of the harvest that has not been seen since the events of the Great Awakening. America will have a bright hope and future based on the church’s obedience to the gospel and its commitment to the Great Commission of Matt. 28.
