We’ve been walking through a series called Three Funerals From Revival. If revival is a life lived in pursuit of the glory of God, then there are some things that cannot coexist with that desire. Some things must die in order for us to see God’s glory. Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen that pride and religion must die. This week, we’re going to find out why Jezebel must die.
There are only around 40 or 50 verses in the whole Bible about Jezebel, but the depth of her depravity and cold-hearted evil certainly left its mark on the world. Jezebel was the daughter of the king of the Sidonians, and Ahab, who was the king of Israel, married her. He gladly imported her idolatry to Israel, and through Jezebel’s influence, it became a state-sponsored religion.
