Referring to "that woman Jezebel," Jesus continues: "And her children I will kill with deadly plague, so that all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the kidneys and hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds." (Revelation 2:23) Jesus has allowed Jezebel and her children to repent, but they persist in their immoral ways and hence must receive judgment. There is a powerful message here for Christians today. Those who imitate Jezebel, whether men or women, and thus become her children by violating Bible principles on headship and morality or by being headstrong, so as to ignore theocratic order, are spiritually in a dangerous sick condition. True if such a one calls upon the elders in the congregation to pray over him, "the power of faith will make the indisposed one well, and Jehovah will raise him up"-provided he humbly acts in harmony with those prayers. But let no one think he (or she) can fool God or Christ by attempting to conceal immoral acts or by putting on an outward show of zealous service. - JAMES 5:14, 15.
