(Cont. from Page 779). 780. "THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL" IS NOW IDENTIFIED. (7) The Lord Jehovah has said that He will "judge between a plump sheep and a lean sheep, for the reason that with flank and with shoulder you kept pushing and with your horns you kept shoving all the sickened ones until you had scattered them to the outside". (Ezek 34:20,21). The "lean sheep" described are the "little flock" of faithful anointed ones and the "other sheep, which are not of this fold." (Luke 12:32) (John 10:16). The "rams" and the "he-goats" are those that mistreat them. But how are the "plump sheep" scattering sickened ones to the outside of the "pasturage"? (Ezek 34:17-19). The warning that our Lord Jesus gave concerning those who would sicken and scatter Jesus' slaves can be found in Revelation 2:19-23. Although "that woman Jezebel" existed in the time of the prophet Elijah, the warning in Revelation is addressed to anointed sons of God alive on earth during the "Lord's day". (Rev 1:10). Further to her identification, this composite "woman" considers herself a "prophetess", of whom Jesus says, "And I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her fornication." (Rev 2:21). But while Jesus' slaves are said to have to their credit more deeds of service than before, some among them tolerate "that woman Jezebel". Why? Because they are misled by her seductive teaching that pacifies their consciences. She deliberately ignores the Lord's commandment and The Christ's headship arrangement issued through the apostle Paul for the congregation. (1 Cor 14:34-37. 1 Cor 11:1-16). In fulfilment of Revelation 2:20, she teaches. Scriptural teaching is an allowance given only to men, and all scriptures are inspired of God for this purpose. (2 Tim 3:16,17). The
unscrupulous and shameless Jezebel even signed and sealed letters in the name of
her husband ordering the city elders to arrange for good-for-nothing men to
falsely accuse a man of God, and then to kill him to gain his inheritance. This
type of
"woman"
exists today among the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. Not
only are they tolerated, but they continue to scatter the
"lean sheep"
to the outside of the flock by promoting their own unsealed "Ahab"-type
husbands as 'elders' in congregations. But to teach and minister to both flocks
is the God-given work of the remaining anointed sons of God on earth of the
"little flock". (1 Peter 5:1
