Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. 47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

Now for some more positive identification that this is the false church:

Re 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

See she sat as a queen; same thing in Isa. 47. See also that she is identified here as a ‘merchant city�? Jesus had forbidden his people to make merchandise. Yet this rebellious church thrived on merchandise until God destroyed her. She brought up this ‘buying and selling�?of the things of God. She is this beast doling out this mark of buying and selling. You cannot do this buying and selling unless you belong to her. Jesus gives. His church gives the gifts God has given to them. Jezebel sells it. You must come and buy from Jezebel.

When you see a church caught up in such things as yard sales; cake sales; chicken sales; selling candy, golf holes, tape messages, song tapes, and all such things they do for money and especially those who say you must pay for your forgiveness of sins, then you know you are seeing Jezebel or Babylon. It is old Jerusalem in disguise.

Notice that it said both Jezebel and Babylon shall be burned with fire. They are both saying they will not be a widow. So they considered themselves to be married to God. They considered themselves to be the true bride of Christ. They are a ‘church�? but it is fake. It is a powerless, dead, naked church. She dotes on big fancy buildings. So did the disciples before the day of Pentecost. It is that ‘religious�?spirit. Remember the disciples told Jesus to look at the big beautiful buildings at the Jerusalem Temple. This is their ‘palaces�?

Jer 9:21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

What is this death which came up into their ‘palaces�? What is their palaces? It is their big fancy church buildings they glory so much in. So what is this death? Remember God said I will kill her children with death? So this death cannot be a natural dying. It is something which causes them to die spiritually. It is their return to LAW after Jesus came and delivered us from the curse of the law. The law is that death. All the Jezebel churches returned to law. They thus reject the grace and blood of Jesus. Yet they claim to be the true church.

This Jezebel church does not go by the Book of Acts for her worship method. They returned to law; to tithing; to seeking big numbers; to singing and personal glory instead of getting together and praying, and seeking God and studying the Word. It is just a ‘show�?they go through. They worship one day a week instead of every day as the Apostolic true church did. They go back to the OT 10% giving instead of the 100% giving the true Apostolic Church did. No where does this Jezebel church pattern after the Church in the Book of Acts. No. They completely pattern after the OT rituals and rules of LAW. They pattern after the world. They refuse to go out into the whole world and preach and teach the true gospel. They sit and wait for the world to come unto them. They spend more time seeking to extract money from the worldly people than they do on trying to save the people.

On the Day of Pentecost a new spiritual Israel was born. A powerful Church, true to God, full of the Holy Ghost power of God and full of the knowledge of truth was sent out to convert the world to God. This Church turned the world upside down. They went forth conquering and to conquer. They were going strong for a few years....but then...something bad happened. A Jezebel rose up on the scene. See, she ‘married�?into this ‘Israelite Family of the True Church of God�?just as the original Jezebel did.

Then she did away with the true ‘prophets�?of God, the Apostles. She killed them and took the vineyard. She set up her deception right in the ‘church�? She set up her ‘Baal�?prophets right in the church.

She set forth enticing idols, holidays, full of fun and frolicking and devil worship. It appealed to the flesh. After all, all the heathens around this young Church held all these parades and had all these birthday parties in the name of their sun gods. So Jezebel went to work and taught these young Christians to commit fornication and to eat these cakes and hams and turkeys and other things which were offered to idols.

Then she taught them to dress up as devils (after all, it is done to worship the devil; so get down to it right; copy the devil) and skeletons (death) and eat all that candy and stuff offered to these idols (devils). Oh, a few of the stronger Christians held out for God and stood true to Him and refused to marry Jezebel, but they were then tortured and killed by the millions by this Jezebel church.

Slowly, more and more of them weakened and went after the false beauty of this Nicolaitane idolatry. Slowly more and more of them ‘married�?this Jezebel. They lost their power with God. They lost the knowledge of the truth. Jezebel seduced them and taught them her lies and they fell for it. They soon forgot all the truth of the Word of God and accepted Jezebel’s lies; her false doctrine. They were now ‘eating�?at Jezebel’s table. They were now ‘eating�?her flesh or word. They were now committing fornication and adultery against God. They were now worshipping Baal and all other idols. They were now married to Jezebel instead of Christ.

Jezebel taught them that God is a triune being. She taught them that God is manifest in three persons. She taught them that the Almighty God left Heaven and got into Mary’s womb and incarnated himself as a human being; but this man was really God. She does not care that the Word of God does not say any of this. She expects her word to be accepted and set above God’s Word. After all, she persuaded all her daughters to pay one man to have all the rule and say in their local church. It matters not that the Word of God did not set up such a system. All the Jezebel daughters follow suit. They love to have it so.

Then she confused the matter even more by turning around and raising up another bunch of her children and teaching that Jesus was the one and only God and there is no other person in the Godhead. So now mass confusion is everywhere. Only the few who stay true to God and study the Word as Jesus told us to do, and who have the Holy Ghost teaching them, will ever come out from under this Jezebel delusion and come to know the real truth. Then they will be able to again worship God is Spirit and IN TRUTH.

Jesus had brought His Church into an equality and love as He and His Father were in an equality and love. None of them had desired to be ‘greater�?than the others or to rule over each other; for they remembered what Jesus had taught them about this being evil. But now this Jezebel had the old priesthood type of set-up. They had a pope who ruled over the whole thing. Then they had lesser priests who ruled over the people with cruelty.

These priests were paid a handsome salary for this job of ‘teaching�?these people their lies.. they were kept up.. given fancy homes, and honoured above the brethren. They set up big, fancy, expensive temples to worship their idols in. They had statues all over the place. They set up pretty stained-glass windows and other such fancy, expensive things. They robbed the people to set up these lavish buildings.

Now Jezebel is noted as a woman who painted her face and made herself lovely to look at. The fake ‘church�?(the Jezebel) twists this truth and turns it around and tries to always point the accusing finger at human women who wear a little make-up and pretty cloths and say this is the Jezebel of the Bible. But this is just not the answer. No. These fancy church buildings are the painted Jezebel. They are the ones teaching God’s people to worship idols and commit spiritual fornication.

The young, fledging Pentecostal Church was losing its power and truth after the Apostles died and were no longer feeding her. So she began to look around her at the heathen’s way of worship (as they always do) (which God had forbidden her to do)--and she began to desire all the fun things of the whorish Jezebel church. They began to marry her and divorce Jesus.

Then she taught them to set up one man to be paid and rule over the entire congregation. After all she must retain the old priesthood type worship, even though God had done away with this in the Apostolic Church. This relieved the average church member from their obligation to God to go into all the world and teach the gospel. This relieved them from having to study the Word for themselves. Now they became like Jezebel Mama and paid one man to do these things. After all, Mama Jezebel said you cannot get in on the buying and selling unless you accept her. Now she is marked with this beast symbol of buying and selling the things of God.

Then Jezebel Mama taught her new daughters to accept her method of having a headquarters' group of rulers to tell her what to believe and teach and to set up different kinds of groups so as to cause divisions in the body. The original Apostolic Church had never organized and set up headquarters. They had all gotten together to discuss any question of doctrine which arose. They had prayed and looked to the Holy Ghost to teach them the truth and the word. They had gone all over the world teaching; yet had remained in a unity with each other. But now this weakened, apostate church accepts the Jezebel method of letting a few tell the others what is what. After all, they do not wish to study the Word themselves anyway. So they set up different denominations and thus brought about separation and wars between the sets of churches.

This caused the killing and murdering of more and more Christians who rebelled against this Jezebel ruin of the true Church.

But the Jezebel group grew more and more in numbers and riches and power and strength, until they prevailed and took completely over the church system.

Now even down to our present day, the few who follow truth, Jesus, and study the Word and let the Holy Ghost reveal the real truth to them are outcasts from this Jezebel church. They do not pay the preachers, nor wish to build up big, fancy church-buildings or partake of the evil, devil-worship holidays. So they are out-casts to all the faithful, Jezebel churches.

So how can you tell the Jezebel churches? How can you tell if you are ‘married to Jezebel�?

Any church which says you must be faithful to one certain little ‘local�?church or group is a Jezebel. Jesus told his true Church to go out into all the world and teach them truth. But the Jezebel churches say no, let the world come to us. Let them support us. Let them come and add up our number or let them be lost. Unless you come into a ‘church�?you are lost. Unless you are faithful to a local group and forget the rest of the body, you are lost. Unless you pay us your tithes and support the paid preacher, you are lost and out of it. Unless you ‘go to church�?regularly you are lost and out of it. Even the so-called independent churches follow this same pattern and method of doing things, so they still belong to Jezebel. They still ‘eat�?at her table. They still teach all her lies, so they are eating her flesh instead of the flesh of Jesus.

The Jezebel church commits fornication against God. They teach her people they must also do this. They must eat those goodies sacrificed to all those devils. All idol worship is fornication against God. So you must honour all the holidays of the world; you must honour and celebrate the sun god’s birthday on December 25. You must celebrate the heathen day of queen Estor and her son, = Easter. You must do the sun-worship thing early in the morning. You must then keep the All-Saints day of Halloween. Then you must send out valentines in honour of the Catholic saint Valentine. [And don’t forget that groundhogs day!] In your church, you must keep the yearly watch-night celebration; mother’s day; fathers day; brothers day; sisters day; and any others which come along. You must honour them all in your church, even though God never commanded any of this stuff. It is of Jezebel. It is of the devil. It is of the world. It is fornication against God.

Love not the world and the THINGS of the world. If you love the world the love of the Father is not in you. (1John).

God said not to look at how the heathens worship their gods and try to do this to Him. He said do ONLY WHAT I COMMAND YOU TO DO; DO NOT ADD TO IT; DO NOT TAKE AWAY FROM IT. [Deut. 12].

...But Miss Jezebel says no---you must obey me. You must keep all these things. You must rob the people and build up these fancy temples to worship me in. You must be in competition with all other churches and try to out-do each other. There must never be any of that unity stuff again. There must never be any of that love your neighbor as yourself stuff again. That is not pleasing to Jezebel. You must marry Jezebel if you wish to continue as an honorable church.

In Contrast to this, what does the true Church of the Living God do?

Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The Jezebel folks say you must continue in sin even after conversion; you must satisfy your flesh. But see that the above command from God is to keep your body holy. You must live a clean, holy life OUTSIDE your little Jezebel walls.

Be not conformed to this world. But all of the above mentioned things this church engages in are totally copied from this world! Not one single one of these holiday things Jezebel does came out of the Word of God. No, not one! So this Jezebel church is getting all her ‘clues�?from this world, not the Word of God. The Holy Ghost has not told them to engage in any of that stuff. So where did they get the notion to do these things? It had to come from CONFORMING to this world, in direct rebellion to the command from the true God to refuse the things of the world.

God said to sanctify your lives; your homes; your families. Yet when Satan, (Jezebel; Babylon) brought up the ungodly TV, almost every church family and their ‘kings, their pastors�?ran out and brought one into their home. And there they have sat for many years, wasting their time feeding off the rotten filth of the very devil. God said talk of him when you wake, when you walk in your house, out in your yard, all the time. Teach your children about God and the Word. But what do these Jezebel priests do? They set their children and grand-children right down in front of Satan’s pulpit and let them spend their lives sitting there absorbing all the filth Satan can come up with! Yet they will dance around in their Jezebel houses of worship on Sunday and claim they are full of the Holy Ghost! Let Jezebel’s holidays come around and there they spend their time. They will even close down their houses of ‘worship�?on some of the more special devil-worship days, (x-mas) and stay at home to do more of their ‘conforming to this world�?

Some of these Jezebel churches have now brought their big TVs into their houses of worship and will actually call off their ‘worship�?services to sit right there in that devil-worship church and watch this world’s special love, ballgames. Such ungodliness! So if your ‘church�?is guilty of any of this, know that you are married to Jezebel and will lose your soul. She is bound to hell fire and all her children with her.

To be cont.

Miss Jezebel teaches that SHE is God. Yes. She says that you can only be saved by the church. She says that if you do not ‘go�?to church you cannot be saved. This is a fear tactic to keep her prisoners bowing at her feet in worship and PAY. She teaches that if you go out on your own, even when God tells you to do so, then you will be lost; for you can only be saved by staying inside a Jezebel church. You cannot serve God outside this church system. So if you fall for this lie, you deny that Jesus is your only Saviour and you are then married to Jezebel-- not Christ.

God said they that are led of the Spirit are the children of God. But Jezebel says no-- you must be under her leadership. You cannot trust what God tells you-- you must always come into a local Jezebel and obey what they tell you. Even their preacher, or king, must obey their higher-up headquarters' rules. They must teach what headquarters tells them to teach. Even the independent Jezebels still go by what they were taught by the headquarters'-faithful churches. They do not bother to study the Word of God and find out what God’s truth really is. There is no need. Jezebel tells them what to believe and teach. They must not deviate from this doctrine and method of ‘church�?or they will be ostracized.

If a true sheep of God gets into one of these Jezebel churches, and begins to see things in the Word of God which are very different from what mama Jezebel teaches, and begins to question things, they are removed from the synagogue as Jesus said we would be. He said they will put you out of the synagogues. They do not put up with anyone coming into their synagogues and bringing a different message than what mama Jezebel approves of. John told of those in the Jezebels of his day, who would not receive the brethren sent by God and cast them out.

All your other sins are little compared to this thing of marrying Jezebel. For after you marry Jezebel, you will forever after worship Baal and the groves. Oh sure, you can deceive yourself and others by saying all of this is in honour to Jesus. Tell them December 25 is Jesus�?birthday. It is ok. We made up an idol and called it Jesus; so now no one knows the difference --- except those few who still study the Word for themselves and let the Holy Ghost teach them. They do not listen to Jezebel; they do not eat her flesh; they eat the flesh of the true Jesus = the Word of God.

The Jezebel church puts up her bright lights each year. They hang eggs on trees; they dress up as devils and beg for candy to honour devils and witches. Jezebel is noted for her witchcrafts. So her churches, the ones married to Jezebel must always do these witchcraft things.

The preachers will not depart from the Jezebel way of things, for that is how they make their living = receiving pay for their work of preaching a few lies (taught by Jezebel) and taking over the entire obligation of Christians of visiting the sick; giving to the poor; studying the Word; healing the sick; casting out devils and teaching the word. Now the paid preacher takes over all these things God told all Christians to do, and they are free from them for they now pay him to do this for them. So they are all married to Jezebel.

They are all in agreement to keep out anyone whom God should send their way to try and tell them any truth. They will not allow these outcasts into their churches to teach anything. Jezebel forbids this. They must agree with the Jezebel lies or they are not allowed to speak in the church. No one must be awakened to this horrible error of marrying Jezebel and eating her flesh. For then Jezebel would lose a lot of children and her big money pot. She would lose her power to rule over the others. Then the others would again be responsible to God for obeying his commands. So none of them wish to divorce Jezebel and marry Jesus.

It is just not popular to marry Jesus. You then must be an outcast. Jesus said they will put you out of the synagogues and think they are doing God a service to kill you. They will kill you with their words, if not your body. If they know you are tying to reach one of their members with some truth, they will black-name you and keep them from listening to you. After all, you are against their Jezebel system. You do not eat at her table.

The local Jezebels deceive by saying they are serving Jesus. But the truth is that they are serving a fake Jesus which the mama Jezebel made up. You can tell them easily by their celebrating this ‘jesus�?birthday. After all, God the Father blotted the true day of the Birth of the true Jesus out of existence. (Job 3).

So any church which keeps any of these holidays are Jezebels. If you attend them, pay them, go along with their system, and refuse to listen to a sheep of God who brings something from the Word to you, then know for sure that you are married to Jezebel.

If you contend that one must ‘go to church�?to worship God and for salvation, then know for sure that you are married to Jezebel. If you teach things which are NOT written in the Word of God, then know for sure that you are married to Jezebel.

If you accept methods of doing ‘spiritual�?things contrary to what the Word of God teaches, such as indoor Baptisms, saying that just believing and asking forgiveness of sins saves you eternally, refusing prayer for the sick-kind of healing, rejecting the gifts of the spirit, teaching tithing, going by the Ten Commandment law, worshiping only one day a week, forget God six days a week, keep holidays, have singing as the main stay of your meetings, or any other such thing NOT taught in the Written Word of God, then know for sure that you are married to Jezebel.

If your ‘local�?church or your own belief differs from the Word of God it is Jezebel. If you do not teach pure, holy living OUTSIDE the church walls, then it is Jezebel. If you practice deception, lies, hypocrisies, physical fornication, watch ungodly TV, fail to teach holy dressing and hair which is pleasing to God, then you are practicing Jezebel religion. If you life is not just as Godly six days a week as it is on your one day you ‘go to church�?then you are fake; Jezebel.

If your ‘church�?refuses the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and water Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION of sins, then it is a Jezebel. If it refuses and denies the gifts of the Spirit and does not practice them, then it is Jezebel. It must be in full agreement and action with the only model church from God, the Apostolic Church in the Book of Acts, or it is a Jezebel church teaching you to commit fornication against God. You are married to Jezebel. This marriage will doom your soul to hell fire.

If for any reason, you cannot and will not turn loose the Jezebel church system and come into the freedom and truth of God’s pure Word; if for any reason you refuse to listen to a true Saint of God who comes to you with the proof of the Word of God, then know for sure that you are married to Jezebel and that this fake system means more to you than being right with the true Eternal God. This will doom your soul to hell fire.

If you refuse to turn loose the devil-worship holidays of Jezebel, then you are married to her and will loose your soul. If you believe that ‘attending�?her meetings will save you, even when you know your daily life is filled with sin, then you are a Jezebel and on your way to hell.

Read 1Kings 21. It tells of Naboth. He had a vineyard which King Ahab coveted. The king offered to buy this vineyard or give another one in place of this one. But Naboth refused to part with his vineyard. So Ahab was grieved. Jezebel found out about this and told Ahab she would get the vineyard for him. Jesus had a vineyard which Satan coveted. Watch this comparison.>>

1ki 21:7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 21:8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 21:9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 21:10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 21:11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

Notice that Jezebel actually ‘ruled�?over Ahab.

Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Now Jezebel wrote letters and sealed them with Ahab’s seal. In other words she sent out her own word and made it appear that it was actually the word of the king. In doing so she caused false witnesses, sons of the devil, to bear false witness against Naboth and cause him to be killed. Then she told Ahab to go take possession of Naboth’s vineyard.

The Jezebel church has written her own words and sent them out as though they are the words of the King, Jesus. In doing so, she will cause untold millions to lose their spiritual ‘vineyard�?and end up in destruction = hell fire. They accept her false words as the true words of Jesus. They eat her flesh, instead of the Holy Flesh of Jesus, which is the true word of God. Notice it said that the ELDERS and nobles of Jezebel’s city (church) did as Jezebel’s words said to do and killed Naboth. So it was actually the rulers, elders and nobles of the Church which fell into Jezebel’s trap and departed from the True Word of God and went and walked in another way, the Jezebel way, to the destruction of their own Church and soul.

The Jezebel of Jesus�?day, the Pharisees and priests, the religious folks, bore false witness against Jesus and caused him to be killed. Then king Satan set out to take possession of the vineyard Jesus had planted and raised up. They then killed the Christians, the Naboths of the church ages.

So in doing this, Satan, King Ahab, has taken over the vineyard of Jesus, the Church. But there is coming a �?U>pay-day�?/U>.

Elijah, the true man of God, with the true Word of God, went and told Ahab that the dogs would lick up his blood in the same place they licked up Naboth’s blood. Then he said that the dogs will eat Jezebel.

People, that is where this Jezebel-Ahab church is headed. Destruction. Jesus has pronounced destruction to this fake, whore church.

All who are married to her [the Ahabs] will be destroyed with her. The true Saints of God will bring the written Judgments on her. Psm. 149. The dogs of the church world are eating Jezebel’s flesh. But someday, she will be totally destroyed as God brings his Holy Fire against her to burn her up and destroy her. This is prophesied in Rev. 18.

In her was all the blood of saints and prophets which was ever slain upon earth. This started with Cain killing Abel. So then see that Cain played religion. So it was ‘church�? He offered his own self-works of law to God. But God refused it. He will only accept faith as a means of serving Him and getting to Him.

The Law is not of faith. The law is death. Death has entered into their windows and their palaces for they healed that law-head which had been slain with God’s Sword.

Come out of her my people and partake not of her sins that you receive not of her plagues.
