<strong>Jezebel</strong>’s Death:God uses Eunuchs to throw <strong>Jezebel</strong> off her balcony! Those that she and Ahab hadcastrated, emasculated, stripped them of their ability to reproduce, and stripped of theirmanhood to serve in their palace.2 Kings 9:30-37 “30 Now when Jehu came to Jezreel, <strong>Jezebel</strong> heard of it, and shepainted her eyes and beautified her head and looked out of [an upper] window. 31 <strong>And</strong>as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Have you come in] peace, you Zimri, who slewhis master? 32 Jehu lifted up his face to the window and said, Who is on my side?Who? <strong>And</strong> two or three eunuchs looked out at him. 33 <strong>And</strong> he said, Throw her down! Sothey threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses,and he drove over her. 34 When he came in, he ate and drank, and said, See now tothis cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter. 35 <strong>The</strong>y went to bury her,but they found nothing left of her except the skull, feet, and palms of her hands. 36 <strong>The</strong>ycame again and told Jehu. He said, This is the word of the Lord which He spoke by Hisservant Elijah the Tishbite, <strong>In</strong> the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of <strong>Jezebel</strong>.37 <strong>The</strong> corpse of <strong>Jezebel</strong> shall be like dung upon the face of the field in the portion ofJezreel, so that they shall not say, This is <strong>Jezebel</strong>.”What did <strong>Jezebel</strong> do to Elijah? What tactics did she use?She always wants control no matter what! After she lost control (1 Kings 18) whenthe altars of Baal and Asherah were destroyed, she made many plans to try and get itback!This spirit is all about ruling and controlling. When she doesn’t get her way, sheslanders, knives, threatens, murders, etc – anything to regain control.This spirit HATES TRUE authority -she will always fight it.She sent a messenger to announce to Elijah what she was going to do to him.“Whenhe saw what she said…”, “saw” means to “take heed”; “to consider”.<strong>The</strong> power source of this spirit is not its strength but its subtlety. <strong>The</strong> devil will neverdefeat the Body of Messiah by strength but by deception and subtlety.Get to a place in your spiritual walk where you recognize this spirit when it is operatingagainst you.91
