Jezebel: A Short Story Of A Godless Woman
Jezebel- You know growing up when the old folks would reference Jezebel they always used it in a context with a
"loose woman" so I grew up thinking Jezebel was a whore of some sorts. Jezebel was no whore she was a married woman who went so far as to kill for her husband, yet she was a Godless woman and a Godless woman is nothing more than a foolish wicked woman. Jezebel was defiant she lived and played by her own rules. Jezebel worshipped idols and she used her influence to turn people away from God. When she died she was thrown from a window, after she fell to the ground horses trampled over her body and then dogs ate her flesh until there was nothing left to bury. she died a horrible death. Sometimes the way you die is an ode to the

    For over two thousand years Jezebel has been known as the bad girl of the bible, the wickedest of all the women. The ancient queen has been denounced as a prophet of false and foreign gods, a witch, prostitute, killer of innocents, and enemy of the one true God. Before her time as queen of Israel, she was raised as a princess in the kingdom of Phoenicia where she grew up as a priestess of Baal, there most powerful god. The story of Baal is a god that dies in spring, and a goddess of love and war mourns. But after an endless summer with drought and famine Baal is resurrected in the fall bringing with him rain and storm.

He was the god of storm, the maker of thunder and lightning bolts, and the god of fertility and sex. He was also known as Prince Baal or the rider of the clouds and in the bible he is often called Baalzebub, changed to Beelzebub in the New Testament. He brings with him several goddesses such as Ashera, The Queen of the Sky and Astarte, the lunar goddess symbolized as a star within a circle (often seen in witchcraft today). She also was a goddess of fertility sex, and war, this was not only a sexualized religion, but a violent one to. Slashing and cutting oneself was a part of the religious ceremonies, as was human sacrifices, sometimes even child sacrifices. Jezebels life was formed around such beliefs, and from the day she was born until her death she stayed faithful to her gods.

    She says that, despite popular belief, woman was never given to man by God, but created from him in the image of God himself. She gives a second party account of the creation of Eve stating, “the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.”(x) She says Adam recognized her as a part of himself as a companion and equal, standing on the same level of human rights, only under God himself.
