Yes, she tried to have them all killed but failed because Obadiah hid some. What she wanted done to them is what happened to the false prophets.Jezebel had already ordered all prophets to be killed.
True...but the Jezebel the church today has to face is cunning and tries to usurp her authority over the head of the church claiming to be His prophet who hears from God and leads the entire congregation into sexual immorality and to eat unclean meat sacrificed to idols.Yes, she tried to have them all killed but failed because Obadiah hid some.

1 Kings 18:4 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.)
Jezebel herself got dealt with later.
When God gives that Power. Agreed.Hence the church that can deal with this Jezebel will be the church that honors God's prophets and heeds their warning...IMHO. The church of Power!
God has a plan to take care of it. Those who allow it to happen are told what will happen to them if they don't correct the situation.True...but the Jezebel the church today has to face is cunning and tries to usurp her authority over the head of the church claiming to be His prophet who hears from God and leads the entire congregation into sexual immorality and to eat unclean meat sacrificed to idols.
We are already seeing this take place in churches.
I feel it is more of symbolizing her power as becoming dry bones....her head once crowned with authority is dead, her hands that killed the prophets is dead, her feet that was swift to spread her message is dead.When God gives that Power. Agreed.
I find something else interesting about Jezebel.
2 Kings 9:35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
Does that connect somehow with the mark of the beast? Just wondering. . . . While I don't know, I feel sure she'd be all in favor of the mark of the beast.
"...God of our fathers, be the God of each succeeding race..."Something else comes to mind about the 7 churches...when will the time of refreshing, restoration occur. Possibly after judgment and repentance...
Very good Barney, only one question, when did Jehovah die?
Revelation 2:8 KJV
[8] And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Tecarta Bible
God loves you Barney, and so do I.Revelation 2:8 is speaking of Jesus Christ The Only Begotten Son of The Only True God Jehovah. Everyone should know that The Only True God Jehovah can't die. It's impossible for The Only True God Jehovah to die. The phrase, " the first and the last" in this scriptural verse means that Jesus Christ the Only Begotten Son of The Only True God Jehovah was the first person that The Only True God Jehovah resurrected and he was also the last person The Only True God Jehovah resurrected because after Jehovah God resurrects Jesus Christ Jehovah God has given His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ the authority to resurrect everyone else, whether they be righteous or unrighteous.
Is it that easy to understand? In most passages, we read that the Father or God raised Jesus raised up; but there are other passages that tell us it's not so easy to understand.Revelation 2:8 is speaking of Jesus Christ The Only Begotten Son of The Only True God Jehovah. Everyone should know that The Only True God Jehovah can't die. It's impossible for The Only True God Jehovah to die.

There may be something in what you say since I see Jesus "purifying" the feet of his Apostles when he washed them so their feet would be blessing the very ground wherever they went.I feel it is more of symbolizing her power as becoming dry bones....her head once crowned with authority is dead, her hands that killed the prophets is dead, her feet that was swift to spread her message is dead.
And there is no rest for her because no one laid her body in a proper burial. She is exposed for the false prophet she was.
Those who listened to her will see her shame and be wrought with anguish for being seduced by her.
I just realized I wrote in present tense...the saw not will see.

Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
So it is, isn't it? I had never thought of that. What a wonderful insight. Thank you.“...would be blessing the very ground wherever they went.” Mark 4:8
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

I think that passage connects up with what stars in Revelation mean and with the parable of the mustard seed nicely.Genesis 22:17-18
[17] That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; [18] And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
“...be fruitful and multiply and replenish...”
If I'm right about that, the falling of one third of the stars is telling us about spiritual wickedness in high places being cast down.
Well this I do understand...but I think we can even determine that all 7 churches are now completed as far as judgment....except the 2....judgment first begins at the house of the Lord is how I perceive what this is all about.
