The lord urges us to be sober and vigilant because the wiles of the devil can deceive a true believer. The wiles of the devil work privily and devour the souls of those who work against God. Those who haves strong convictions shall never be corrupted with the lies of the devil when they are enticed through lust. When we use righteousness to prevail over the wickedness of the devil, the devil flees from us and looks upon other souls to devour.

 

Consequently in 1 Kings 21:23

The seductress Jezebel worshiped the pagan God Baal and became destructive therewith. Overtime Jezebel became very manipulative and corrupted the lives of her husband, the king, and all of Israel.  Just as Elijah had prophesied Jezebel would die a slow painful death before she could correct her mistakes. Jezebels actions contributed to her demise and she experienced a violent and brutal untimely death.

Where do you get this idea from?

Please support it with biblical quotes.

I'm aware of a passage that likens the devil to a roaring lion seeking those it can devour. But that is a simarlarly, not a discription.

I'm not going to defend Jezebel, but you have your facts wrong about  her husband and the nation of Israel.

Ahab was already considered the worst and most evil king of all before he even met Jezebel [I Kings 16].  And the Bible says that there was none who "sold himself to do evil like Ahab."  Yes, it says she urged him, but he was already a vile and godless man.

  • The whole reason that Ahab went to a foreign nation of Baal-worshippers and found a wife there and brought her back to Israel was because he was innately just that evil.  He didn't care about anything - literally.
  • Had he been a king like David or even Asa, Jehoshaphat, or Josiah, he would have looked for a Godly woman from the tribes of Israel/Judah to marry.
  •  In fact, chapter 16 also states that Ahab considered the gross sins of the King Jeroboam [the king who started all the insane decline of Israel] to be a "light thing" - merely nothing.  And it says that's WHY he married Jezebel and why he built altars to Baal. 
  • Jezebel just did what she knew - to worship Baal and practice evil.  Ahab is the one who should have known better.  It was in the Law that kings had to make a hand-written copy of the Law and keep it with them.  Apparently, Ahab did not do that.

The nation of Israel never had a decent king after Solomon.....not ONE:  Long before Jezebel came along, Israel was in a state of evil beyond belief.

  •  As early as King Solomon, they were throwing babies and children in the fires to worship false gods.
  • They had homosexual priests who had sex with each other on pagan altars.
  •  They had golden calves.
  •  It was very bad in Israel.

Israel did not fall because of Jezebel.  Jezebel is the FRUIT of their great sin and wickedness.

Jezebel did not corrupt Ahab.  She is the FRUIT of his already evil heart. Because of his "I don't care about God's law" attitude, she could easily persuade him to do great evil because he really didn't care what he did.

Elijah prophesied that dogs would eat her, not that she would die a slow and painful death.

Her death occurred when she was pushed out of a window and fell splat on the ground dead.  Some of her blood got on the wall and splattered on some horses and it apparently frightened the horses and they trampled on her.  Then the dogs came and ate her remains.
