Women in the Bible-What Can We Learn From Them?

 Jezebel

Who was Jezebel? She was the wife of King Ahab. She was a non-Israelite and did not worship Jehovah.  Instead, she worshipped the Canaanite god Baal.

What did she do? Queen Jezebel was domineering, ruthless, and violent.  She promoted Baal worship and the sexual immorality associated with it. At the same time, she tried to eliminate the worship of the true God, Jehovah. - 1 KINGS 18:4,13; `91-3.

Jezebel resorted to lies and murder to satisfy her selfish whims. (1Kings 21:8-16) As God foretold, she died violently and did not receive a burial.  -  1 KINGS 21:23; 2 KINGS 9:10, 32-37.

What can we learn from Jezebel? Jezabel is a warning example. She was so morally corrupt and unscrupulous that he name has become a  symbol for a shameless, immoral and unrestrained woman.
