    Who Is Jezebel

    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. Baal because of his time of resurrection was the god of fall and autumn, rain and therefore the god of melancholia and sorrow. 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. Her background shows that this is all she knew, and in her land to worship these gods was normal.…

    Habakkuk

    The battle of Carchemish was a battle at the said site, and was the Babylonians versus the Egyptians and a band of Assyrians. Both sides incurred heavy casualties, but it was unmistakable that the Babylonians had a resounding victory and the Assyrians were vanquished. In 604 BCE, the Chaldeans had declared their king Nebuchadnezzar II as the ruler of the neo-Babylonian empire. At this time, in the kingdom of Judah, the Jews were ruled under king Jehoiakim. While Judah had been paying tributes to Babylon, however, king Jehoiakim observed during a battle in 601 BCE, that there was a great loss on the Babylonian side against Egypt. This convinced him that he should abstain from giving their due tribute to Babylon and ally up with Egypt. This proved to be disastrous, and caused the exile of the Jewish peoples to other lands. While there is no mention that the Babylonians would seize Judah, there is a clear point wherein the words of Habakkuk would show to be true: the Babylonians are the ones that are gaining a lot of power and seizing nations. The book of Jeremiah is within the time of Habakkuk, and therefore their prophecies…

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    1 Samuel 31, 2 Samuel 1-10 – First Samuel ends with Saul’s death. Rather than facing the torment of the Philistines, he falls on his own sword, but the first chapter of 2 Samuel gives a different account. An Amalekite reports to David that he killed Saul after Saul asked him to run him through with the sword. Either way, Saul is now dead, and David is made king of Judah, while Ishbaal (Saul’s son) supposedly reigns over the rest of Israel. Abner supports Ishbaal at first, but after having been accused of sleeping with one of Saul’s concubines, Abner turns to support David. Before he can do anything to help David’s conquest, Abner is killed by Joab (commander of David’s forces) for killing Joab’s brother Asahel. Ishbaal is also assassinated by Rechab and Baanah, who are apparently motivated by the thought of reward from David for their service, but they are killed by David as a result. With no other leader to turn to, the rest of Israel accepts David as their king at Hebron. After that, David enjoys much military success against the enemies of Israel (Philistines, Moabites, Edomites,…

    Plagues In The Odyssey

    It is a constant theme throughout the beginning of Exodus that the Pharaoh was the source of the Israelites problems. He proclaimed that “if it is a [hebrew] boy, kill him”(Exodus 1:16) . In addition, he enslaved the rest of the Israelite and forced them to work tireless hours for little or no wages. His mistreatment of the Israelite’s set precedent for his advisors and countrymen to also treat them with disdain. Consider the example later on in Exodus, when Moses witnesses “an Egyptian man beating a hebrew man”(Exodus 2:11). The pharaoh and his people did not fear the Gods of the Israelites as he believed he was appointed by his Gods to rule the kingdom. Therefore, he deducted that he could treat the Hebrews anyway he wanted too without any repercussions. When Moses finally becomes prophet to God on Earth, he tries to convince the Pharaoh to let him celebrate a holiday and get a day off from work in order to so. In response to this request the Pharaoh defies the existence of the Israelites God by saying “Who is this Lord that I should heed him and let Israel go?” (Exodus 5:2). Throughout the Hebrew…

    David and King Saul

    The elders of the tribes come to Samuel and requested a king. They say that Samuel is too old and his sons are corrupt. They desired a king to “lead them” and to lead them and to go out before them and to fight their battles. There was certain things that they did not want to do for themselves, so they desired a king to do them. “The kingdom was established in First Samuel and consolidated in Second Samuel. First Kings records its division and decline, and Second Kings its destruction and deterioration” (Hindson, 2012. p.178). Samuel was a prophet and Israel’s religious leader but not a king. Israel was loosely ruled by judges but had no one equipped to rule in a time of war.…

    Bible 105 essay

    During the time of Samuel, there was no monarchy in Israel unlike the other countries around. The Israelites wanted a king for themselves where they could actually see and hear. They wanted the same protection that the other nations were getting from their kings. Therefore the Israelites asked Samuel to ask God to nominate a king for them. But Samuel did not like the fact that the Israelites wanted a king, so he prayed God for an answer. God said to Samuel in a sad way to let the Israelites have a king since they do not want me as their king anymore. Samuel told the Israelites what God has said and warned them that they would have to sacrifice part of their life for the king. Despite the warning, the Israelites desired a king who would rule them like the other nations.…
