The Mystery of Iniquity Ahab and Jezebel
The Mystery of Iniquity – Ahab and Jezebel
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been joined together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection; knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin. For he who died has been justified from sin. But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that when Christ was raised from the dead, He dies no more; death no longer has dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died to sin once; but in that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise count yourselves also to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. Do not yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God, as one alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace. Romans 6:1-14
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 2 Peter 3:7-13
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 1 Kings 16:28-33,
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
1 Kings 18:1-18,
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.Notwithstanding 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.And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.And I will give him the morning star.He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 2:18-29,

(6 Visions)
(1st Vision)
"In current time there was an explosion of the spirit of Ahab and Jezebel in the world of men. The spirits of these two were in a continuance in opposition and in contradiction to the Lord and to His purpose in restitution of all creation and of the exultation and honor that belongs to Christ alone. The spirits of Jezebel and Ahab were demonic forces which arrayed themselves against the holy purpose of God. As they were arrayed, the high mystery of iniquity worked in the lives of those who were easily distracted from the things of the Lord by the things of this present world and thus many were deluded by these strong spirits. Ahab's spirit manifested itself in vain oppositions of science and in the governing bodies of nations in a vile contempt against people who lived in these nations. Jezebel's spirit manifested in an explosion of base morals and high idolatry which would turn hearts completely away from the standard of righteousness which the Lord had made by His word. This turning away of hearts was accompanied by the comforting thought that what people did in aligning themselves with vile traits was in fact a righteous act. It gave a false sense of peace and safety to mankind as though they were now right with the Lord by following these vile ambitions of the spirits of Ahab and Jezebel. Only they that overcame by the blood of Christ and by donning the armour of the spirit were able to discern the Ahab and Jezebel spirit in the world of men. All others were overcome by it and thus fulfilled the full scope and power of the Mystery of Iniquity which the Lord has ordained to be filled up even in these last days."

(2nd Vision)
"At this point the Lord caught my vision back to the time when Jehu's servants cast Jezebel out of the window to her death. I saw as she fell that the spirits within her formed a conglomerate mass of demonic entities which arrayed themselves against the purpose of the Lord in granting unto His people their full inheritance. That inheritance was the land flowing with milk and honey, the land of Canaan, the promise of a life owned and maintained by the people of the Lord in the midst of all the nations on earth. The spirits in Jezebel were in this array in an intelligent manner and in such a way as to turn the hearts of the Lord's people away unto this vanity of the worship of Balaam. For it was the children of Israel that she deluded into the worship of Baal in contradiction to the Lord who had redeemed them. In our time, it is a turning away unto the vain jangling of distorted doctrine and of all that which would give place to a life of escape rather than a life which would identify itself fully with Christ and in the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death that His life might also be manifest in our mortal bodies. As Jezebel's body died, the spirits did not, they departed her physical body at her death but then they continued on in the world without so much as a brief interlude, their machinations against the Lord continued unabated and they went forth all this time through history right up unto our present day with the purpose of throwing the faithful off of their course in obedience to Christ's commandments and in seeing Him complete the building of His church. That is how vile these entities have become. I saw Overcomers come away from this influence by willing obedience to the things of the Lord including the personal cross."

(3rd Vision)
"Ahab was standing at a wooden table in his council room with many papers and documents upon it. He was writing down commands and orders which would convey the wishes of his authority dominated by Jezebel his wife and controlled by these spirits of delusion which caused Baal to be worshipped. The governance of his people was based on a false unity that came of the ambition to serve falsehood rather than truth and dishonor in exchange for the dignity that comes by being people whose God is the Lord. I saw Ahab writing with a pen upon these papers, then as time progressed the pen was exchanged for a computer mouse, an electronic device which dictated the course of human events. Literally in time I saw Ahab progress from the antiquated means of writing to the electronic means of writing we have in our day. This means of writing was based on controlling the lives of men and to make them follow pernicious ways rather than holding to the steadfast traditions of the early church fathers who gave us the proper word of God to walk in without discord in the world of they that believe in Christ. This that I saw in Ahab was a distinct departure from righteousness and a filling up of that which bases itself in evil works in this present world. As strange as this vision sounded, that is what I saw, the pen change to the mouse of a computer."

(4th Vision from Chapter 21, The Wrath Of The Lamb, The Mystery of Christ.
"I saw Jezebel in the bed of fornication. She lay there in the state of absolute apostasy and she delivered many children. I saw the Lord Jesus Christ standing in the Holiest place. He was clothed down to the foot and girded with a golden girdle, His hairs were white like wool and His eyes as a flame of fire. I saw a sword come forth out of His mouth and He killed Jezebel’s children, slaying them all with the sword of His mouth and not one of her children born of idolatry and fornication survived. The children were killed even upon their mother’s bed and not one of them escaped the sword that came forth out of the mouth of the living Christ."

(5th Vision from Chapter 76, The Cross Of Separation, Mystery Babylon the Great; The Mystery Of the Great Whore.
I saw seated at a wooden table that great whore Jezebel who hated the people of the Lord. She sat at this table very fat with great heaps of bones stacked up in piles on the one side of the table to her left while on the other side of the table to her right were cut up pieces of the bodies of the Saints, those whom Jezebel had persecuted and taken and killed and who were now flesh upon which she feasted. These limbs and torsos of the bodies of the killed were her meat and her delight. As she chewed off the flesh from the bones she would stack up the bones as though they were a great prize. She sat at this table with the walls of Babylon behind her. Servants would come to her bringing her more limbs and torsos of the dead which she would ingest quickly getting fatter on them all the while. The servants were in great fear of the great whore Jezebel and when they would come to give her more food they feared for their lives because they were in danger of her wrath and in some cases if a mistake was made or if the dead were not delivered to her fast enough then some of the servants were killed by her and ingested by her along with the bodies of the dead Saints. I saw that the dead bodies she was ingesting were Overcomers who had not finished their course in faith, they were called, but they had not fully obeyed the Lord and therefore the Lord did not choose them. All of the Overcomers who had fully obeyed the Lord and were therefore chosen by Him were hidden away from the wrath of Jezebel and were in caves and in holes in the earth hiding away from her servants and her wrath against the true people of God. These obedient ones waited for the Lord to judge this whore. The servants of Jezebel would go forth into the world of men to try to find the obedient Overcomers to kill and to feed to Jezebel but the Lord had hidden them so that they could not be found.” For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:14
