"AND THE DEAD BODY OF JEZEBEL WILL CERTAINLY BECOME AS MANURE UPON THE FACE OF THE FIELD IN THE TRACT OF LAND OF JEZREEL, THAT THEY MAY NOT SAY:  "THIS IS JEZEBEL.""  (2 KINGS 9:37).

(JEZREEL:  GOD WILL SOW SEED).

JEZEBEL'S "MANURE"     FOR GOD TO SOW "SEED"?  HOW?
Symbolically speaking, the "manure" of "Jezebel" women today are their evil activities and unrepentant hearts. (Rev 2:20-23). Jehovah is using knowledge and evidence of their offences to nurture the sowing of His "seed": "And  the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will certainly be collected together into a unity and will actually set up for themselves one head and go up out of the land, because great will be the day of Jez're.el". (Hosea 1:11).  The "one head" is The Christ our Lord Michael.

"And His Spirit is like a flooding torrent that reaches clear to the neck, to swing  the  nations to and fro with a sieve of worthlessness". (Isaiah 30:28). The "sieve of worthlessness" will reveal who truly are God's beloved people, refining out "that woman Jezebel" who use various wiles to usurp man's authority and acquire glory for themselves     thereby having no husbandly authority to complement. "Ahab" men complement their "Jezebel" wives, instead of being as God intended: "I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him." (Gen 2:18.  See 1 Kings 21:7,8). Only man can be the glory of God, and woman the glory of man, provided they are both in unity under "one head" in God's arrangement.  (1 Cor 11:3,7).

As people of the nations try to justify their Godlessness, they will be shaken by His "sieve of worthlessness" and will not remain.  (Isaiah 30:27,28.  Heb 12:25-28 NEB).  Jehovah has said: "In the tract of land of Jez're.el the dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel." (2 Kings 9:36). The "dogs" are symbolic of those who "eat  things sacrificed to (dungy) idols" and are outside the arrangement of God. (Rev 22:15.  2:20). The  remains of "that woman Jezebel" will be a dung-like memorial of the denunciations of God against "Jezebel" women today. (Isaiah 30:27)  (2 Kings 9:35). It is written: "The dead bodies of mankind must also fall like manure upon the face of the field and like a row of newly cut grain after the reaper". (Jer 9:22) (Jer 25:31-33) (Zeph 1:14 18). That is the reason why Jehovah now says: "You must not take for yourself a wife, and you must not come to have sons and daughters in this place".  (Please read Jeremiah 16:1-4).

"And the threshing floors must be full of cleansed grain, and the press vats must overflow with new wine and oil." (Joel 2:24). This scripture describes beloved people of God who have proven to be truly obedient to the "good news" of The Christ and have spiritually progressed since their baptism. They have become "cleansed grain", with no "dungy idols" (ba'al worshippers) among them. (Ezek 14:6-8). There is no need of rank among people of God, as approved anointed underpriests of God administer the Spirit of His Word to them. Their physical needs will be fulfilled in accordance with their love for God.

While the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon all mankind is for Judgement, for His people it will be a reason for rejoicing. (Joel 2:28,29). "And I will make compensation to you for the years that the locust, the creeping, unwinged locust, and the cockroach and the caterpillar have eaten, My great military force that I have sent among you. And you will certainly eat, eating and becoming satisfied, and you will be bound to praise the Name of Jehovah your God, who has done with you so wonderfully; and My people will not be ashamed to time indefinite. And you people will have to know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God and there is no other. And My people will not be ashamed to time indefinite."  (Joel 2:25 27).
