Tonight, we are going to look at the specific characters in the Bible that God said to watch out for. These characters or spirits have characteristics that are meant to divide God’s people which is the spirit of the antichrist. In the “Last Days” or “Time Of The End” these spirits are going to be attacking “The Church” or “God’s People” any way they can. These spirits will look for the weak spot in the armor. So, we have to put on the whole armor of God as the Bible commands us to do.

Tonight, we are going to look at the specific characters in the Bible that God said to watch out for. These characters or spirits have characteristics that are meant to divide God’s people which is the spirit of the antichrist.

In the “Last Days” or “Time Of The End” these spirits are going to be attacking “The Church” or “God’s People” any way they can. These spirits will look for the weak spot in the armor. So, we have to put on the whole armor of God as the Bible commands us to do.

Ephesians 6:11-13 AMPC 11 Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. 13 Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].

Ephesians 6:11-13 KJV 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Withstand: read the Word daily, believe the Word, speak the Word and act on the Word. We are putting on the whole armor of God which is our equipment that is needed to not only defend but to take ground against the enemy or giants in the land.

These giants (seed of the serpent/spirits) that we have been studying want to prevent you, your family and friends from the promises in God’s Word and ultimately the promise of eternity. They want to stop God’s Word, God’s Laws from being implemented here on earth right now for such a time as this.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times (spiritually difficult times) shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 AMPC 1 But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous (spiritually difficult) times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]. 2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. 3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good. 4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.

5 For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].

The causes of these “spiritually difficult times” is what we are identifying during this study. There is the seed of the serpent that we are born into that we need to die to every day. Then, there’s the spiritual wickedness in high places. These forces are the world rulers of this present darkness, spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

There is a battle going on and although it manifests itself in the natural or physical realm, it is a spiritual battle. The battles in the United States are not political but spiritual. This spiritual warfare is manifesting itself politically because the enemy comes to divide all people, including the Church. When you see division of God’s Word/Laws, that is the spirit of the antichrist.

“The Church” in the United States is divided on what is truth, what is political/what is Biblical, which causes many Christians to stay silent because they don’t want to fight. I’ve got news for you - you are in God’s Army and you are in a fight, a fight for your life, your eternity and the lost souls which we have been entrusted with spreading the seed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The enemy is cunning and uses what is going on in this country to divide followers of Christ and the Church. The dark and light or believer and unbeliever are already divided so it should not come as a surprise when evil attacks that which is good.

Romans 16:17-20 AMPC 17 I appeal to you, brethren, to be on your guard concerning those who create dissensions and difficulties and cause divisions, in opposition to the doctrine (the teaching) which you have been taught. [I warn you to turn aside from them, to] avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites and base desires, and by ingratiating and flattering speech, they beguile the hearts of the unsuspecting and simpleminded [people]. 19 For while your loyalty and obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you well versed and wise as to what is good and innocent and guileless as to what is evil. 20 And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with you.

Romans 16:17-20 KJV 17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

We are instructed to know the Word and be able to rightly divide it. Not be divided by what people are twisting and making us feel inferior about what God’s Word says.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 AMPC 15 Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.

1 Corinthians 11:2 KJV 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

1 Corinthians 11:2 AMPC 2 I appreciate and commend you because you always remember me in everything and keep firm possession of the traditions (the substance of my instructions), just as I have [verbally] passed them on to you.

Deuteronomy 6:6 KJV 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

Deuteronomy 6:6 GNT 6 Never forget these commands that I am giving you today.

Page 7: “Identifying The Giants” · 2017. 9. 23. · 12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], ... outside or the dark but also from

These passages are just a few examples in God’s Word of the synonyms for commands: traditions, truth, law, Word, ordinances, instructions, etc.

John 14:15 KJV 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:23 KJV 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

You and I are here for such a time as this (Esther 4:14) to preserve or conserve the traditions of, or the truth of God’s Word at all times and everywhere. Unashamed, not afraid - no fear.

John 8:32 KJV 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

In this passage, Jesus says, the truth - My words, My commands all meaning the same thing. God’s Word is His commands and the Father will love you and will come to whoever keeps them.

But, there will be people as the Word says (Romans 16, 2 Peter, Jude) that come to divide you and I or the Church from the outside or the dark but also from within, the Church. This spirit will manifest itself by sharing partial truths, speaking false or heresy and also speaking/acting outside of the pulpit contrary to God’s Word. They will also use their platforms and podiums to mislead people by their cunning and subtle deceptions.

Genesis 3:1 KJV 1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Genesis 3:1 AMPC 1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?

Genesis 3:1 GNT 1 Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the Lord God had made. The snake asked the woman, “Did God really tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?”

Satan is referenced all throughout God’s Word and we are given his characteristics or his character in order to not be fooled.

God knows the character of satan because He created him and knows how he is trying to deceive you and I along with the 1/3 of the angels that left to go with satan to rule this world.

Synonyms for satan adversary, angel of the bottomless pit, accuser of our brethren, the devil, enemy, evil spirit, father of lies, liar, lying spirit, old serpent, power of darkness, prince of this world, prince of demons, prince of the power of the air, spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience, tempter, the god of this world.

As the prince of this world, ruler of this present darkness, the spirit force of wickedness, he uses multiple venues or spiritual green houses to grow the wicked seed or sinful seed. This is a resurrection of the giants which is the seed of the serpent that God’s People are supposed to destroy and that Paul said I die to daily.

So, how does this seed (good or bad) grow? Remember from last week the good seed needs to be watered by a good or righteous environment to grow righteously or holy.

In our development of that good seed as we accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, the pastor is commanded to come along and help in this process - but, you have to participate in this process, you’re commanded to as well.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 AMPC 1 I charge [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (in the light of) His coming and His kingdom: 2 Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.

3 For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, 4 And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions. 5 As for you, be calm and cool and steady, accept and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry.

The bad seed needs to be watered or grown in a wicked/evil environment. That seed needs growth or watering from an environment, that environment (sphere, pillar, mountain) helps to grow seed. God’s Word, His commands, is meant for the believer’s protection from being with other “bad seed”.

Proverbs 13:20 KJV 20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Proverbs 13:20 GNT 20 Keep company with the wise and you will become wise. If you make friends with stupid people, you will be ruined.

1 Corinthians 5:1-13 AMPC 1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, impurity of a sort that is condemned and does not occur even among the heathen; for a man has [his own] father’s wife.

2 And you are proud and arrogant! And you ought rather to mourn (bow in sorrow and in shame) until the person who has done this [shameful] thing is removed from your fellowship and your midst! 3 As for my attitude, though I am absent [from you] in body, I am present in spirit, and I have already decided and passed judgment, as if actually present, 4 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, on the man who has committed such a deed. When you and my own spirit are met together with the power of our Lord Jesus,5 You are to deliver this man over to Satan [a]for physical discipline [to destroy carnal lusts which prompted him to incest], that [his] spirit may [yet] be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 [About the condition of your church] your boasting is not good [indeed, it is most unseemly and entirely out of place]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven will ferment the whole lump [of dough]? 7 Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated [as you are], for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened [bread] of purity (nobility, honor) and sincerity and [unadulterated] truth. 9 I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate [closely and habitually] with unchaste (impure) people— 10 Not [meaning of course that you must] altogether shun the immoral people of this world, or the greedy graspers and cheats and thieves or idolaters, since otherwise you would need to get out of the world and human society altogether!

11 But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person. 12 What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require]? 13 God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside. Drive out that wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].

1 Corinthians 5:1-13 KJV 1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Galatians 6:7-8 KJV 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

So, there’s the command for God’s seed, you and I, new creatures or creations in Christ, to stay away from the bad seed. It’s not a command to not share the gospel but to not have close personal relationships with people who are pulling you down.

Those people/seed that are in the dark or say they are believers but do not show fruit and habitually sin - we are commanded to walk away. When they are not turning from their sin or repenting, and you are continually in their life, God says in order for them to see their wicked ways is for you to allow His Word and His discipline to work through you, you have to leave.

First we have “seed” and then, “environment”. That environment is controlled by the prince of this world, ruler of this present darkness, the spirit force of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). This is what draws seed together and waters it and allows it to grow. The giants/spirit gain strength from this environment.

This process works both ways, good seed and bad seed. Godly environment from home, church, friends, family, devotions etc. the seed grows. Without that environment the good seed dies and the bad seed will seek out its wicked environment. Remember anything absent from God’s Word is wicked or evil.

What satan is using for the evil seed/giants to grow is the Seven Pillars, Spheres or Mountains, of Society. These have been around for a long time and we are seeing more spiritual wickedness in these high places than ever before.

Ephesians 6:12 AMPC 12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

From these 7 main categories we have many subgroups under them as well which we will explore as this series continues.

The taking of these mountains/spheres or pillars is critical today for the Kingdom of God. These 7 Pillars are where the enemy, who is subtle, cunning, & ruthless, wants to use as a trap to get as many people as he can to hell. This is where the fight in the natural through supernatural means will be won or lost. Our job as followers or imitators of Jesus Christ is to raise up as change agents to scale the mountains and to help a new generation of change agents understand the bigger picture.

Isaiah 2:2 AMPC 2  It shall come to pass in the latter d a y s t h a t t h e mountain of the Lord’s house shall be [firmly] established as the highest of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.

Satan knew that these 7 Spheres are critical from the beginning of time. He knows that the angels who were supposed to instruct or educate the seed to be righteous could also educate on wickedness and change culture and infect the Godly seed.

Matthew 4:8-11 KJV 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Matthew 4:8-11 AMPC 8 Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence, preeminence, and excellence) of them. 9 And he said to Him, These things, all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and do homage and worship me.10 Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve. 11 Then the devil departed from Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

So, our first character/spirit/giant and characteristics that we will be studying is Jezebel. You will see how this spirit is in all of these 7 Pillars of society as we go through God’s Word which is for our protection and for our prospering in God’s plan for our life. God’s Word is not to prosper me in the way I want or think I should go but He will provide all my needs according to or based upon His Word for His glory and His assignment for me.

This study on Jezebel and the spirit of Jezebel is not to down women spiritually. We have to be able to talk about God’s Word without fear of being politically correct. The devil would love for you to hear this and let it divide you because that is the spirit of the antichrist and you won’t hear what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell you about this Jezebel spirit - for your protection.

When you read the Bible you will find there was a female judge named Debra in the Old Testament book of Judges 4 & 5. There were also 5 women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

You will also discover in the book of Joel that it says ‘sons and daughters and handmaids’ (handmaids is female), they are going to prophesy.

Joel 2:28-29 KJV 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

In the New Testament, Phillip had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

Acts 21:8-9 KJV 8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Now, this doesn’t mean all women will prophesy, this doesn’t mean all men will prophesy. This doesn’t mean all will have the gift of healing…this is false teaching that is going on in the church at large today. These false teachers are trying to divide the church and get their followers (not followers of Christ) to become full of spiritual pride - which was prophesied that in the Last Days that would happen.

1 Corinthians 12:1-14 KJV 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.

1 Corinthians 12:11 AMPC 11 All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.

1 Corinthians 12:11 ESV 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

God performs His Will by giving who He needs to do that which He wants. The teaching of practicing healing or practicing prophecy is heresy and makes people believe that there is something wrong with them if they can’t. Now that false teacher is the only one that can fix them. He or she/teacher makes that person even more dependent on them instead of Jesus Christ. You will see great spiritual pride in this movement and a stubbornness to come under any spiritual discipline or authority.

Now, I’m giving you these examples in the Bible about women prophesying and their position in the Kingdom of God because people will often refer to Isaiah 3:12 when speaking of women…

Isaiah 3:12 KJV 12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

This is not speaking of Godly women in control or Godly women leading or helping, which is in the entire Bible. He is talking about women with the spirit of idolatry who lead people astray, who have this evil seed and this spirit of Jezebel/idolatry. So let’s deal with the characters and characteristics of this spirit.

Now there are women who have led people astray in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. We are going to start with the Old Testament and begin with Jezebel, but just touch on this and go back there later on.

1 Kings 16:29-31 KJV 29 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. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him. 31 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.

Jezebel was the daughter of King Ethbaal and the wife of King Ahab. She was so fierce in her dominion and control that she beheaded the prophets of God.

1 Kings 18:4 KJV 4 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.)

The second group of women in the Old Testament that is rarely preached about is found in 2 Kings 11:1. Ahaziah was King Ahab’s son and his mother Athaliah was the daughter of Jezebel. The Bible says that she killed or destroyed the royal seed.

2 Kings 11:1 KJV 1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

So, you have Jezebel beheading the prophets of God. Then you have a daughter who comes years later who becomes a leader and with that power begins to slay the royal seed of Judah.

The royal seed of Judah were born from the kings of Judah and she wanted to be queen, she wanted to be in control. So, she would do whatever was necessary to sit on the throne. She would go as far as murder to have her assignment or desire accomplished.

However, there was one infant by the name of Joash who was hidden in a special chamber for six years in the temple…

2 Kings 11:2-3 KJV 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.3 And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

At age 7 he came forth and was anointed king and ruled for 40 years defeating that spirit in that day.

2 Kings 11:4-12 KJV 4 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the king's son.

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house; 6 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down. 7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in. 9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. 10 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the Lord. 11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple. 12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

The Jezebel spirit beheads men and kills the royal seed. Since 1973 there has been over 59 million abortions and this is destroying the seed of promise.

The seed that the Bible said would prophesy in Joel 2:28-29. The seed of the serpent or giants going back to the beginning who were trying to stop God’s people from their Promises or Promised Land.

This giant or evil spirit of Jezebel is not just trying to kill babies but she is trying to shut down God’s Word from being spoken today. She (the Jezebel spirit) is trying to get laws changed that are contrary to God’s Word. She is trying to kill and destroy the seed of righteousness.

But, just like God gave protection to that royal seed in 2 Kings, He will preserve a remnant to do His Word for the appointed time. That time is the “End Of Time” of “End Of Days”. This is why it is so important that Christians get involved in the 7 Pillars Of Society.

The marches that we all witnessed on January 21, 2017 with women all over the world uniting for one purpose and one purpose only and that was for the right to lawfully kill babies. That Jezebel spirit is vile and it will do whatever it takes to get what it wants. Don’t get pulled into the enemy’s lies and plans for your destruction by listening to a twisting of the truth. This is not about a woman’s right to choose but the enemy’s plan to kill the seed.

The spirit of Jezebel is alive and doing what it can in these Last Days to intimidate and divide God’s people. By trying to use “women’s rights” and pitting men against women to only get what that spirit wants - killing the good seed.

Next week we are going to look at more examples in the Bible and then break down the specific characteristics of the Jezebel spirit. Remember, this spirit or giant is meant to divide the Church, to stop the Godly seed from living and being spread in order that the corrupt or evil seed can grow without opposition.
