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 the hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds." (Revelation 2:23) Jesus has allowed Jezebel ad her children time 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 prayer 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 that 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.
