THE KINGDOM PARABLES<br />

God created woman as an emotional and susceptible personality.<br />

Therefore they are symbols of churches - good and bad. Women are the<br />

backbone of every church. And they are the greatest supporters of<br />

heretics too. Jezebel the wife of Ahab is usually the symbol of evil<br />

forces. As a foretaste of spiritual fornication encouraged by Jezebel<br />

stands two women figures of this Church Period - Empress Irene and<br />

Empress Theodesia. In AD 726 Pope Leo III in an attempt to eradicate<br />

idol worship started a widespread destruction of images and persecution<br />

of image worshippers. The result was a religious riot which Pope<br />

handled with the might of the army. Gregory III at the Synod of Rome<br />

excommunicated all proponents of icons and idols in 732 AD and the<br />

Ecumenical Council of Constance declared that only Satan could have<br />

introduced image worship into the Church. But the tables were turned<br />

with the ascension of Empress Irene and by AD 787 in the second<br />

General Council of Nicea convened by her, iron relics, pictures and idols<br />

were authorized. It is in fact decreed that anyone who consecrates a<br />

church without these must be punished as a transgressor. This Jezebel<br />

has the zeal even to tear out the eyes of her own son by this decree.<br />

Under her the Marilatory came into its zenith as we should expect.. In<br />

794 the Council of Frankfurt again condemned the image worship which<br />

was ratified by the Council of Paris. But in AD 842 another Jezebel<br />

came to power - the Byzantine Empress Theodosia. She re-established<br />

the image worship and set out on an inquisition. Between 842 and 847<br />

she was able to destroy more than a hundred thousand people who<br />

refused to bow down before the idols - beheaded, burned or drowned.<br />

These martyrs are remembered today as Paulicians.<br />

As to Jezebels who committed physical fornication we have the history<br />

of two harlots who actually ruled the church - Theodora and her<br />

daughter Marozia. These prostitutes controlled the Popes and the Papal<br />

chair for over 60 years (904 - 963 AD) and the period is known as the<br />

era of Pornocracy`<br />
