Jezebel was a fanatical worshiper of the heathen idol Baal. As queen of Israel, she attempted to force it upon the Israelites in the most ruthless and deadly manner. King Ahab made very little effort to stop her - quite the contrary, he actually built a pagan temple for her in the capital city of Samaria and allowed 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah to eat at the royal table (1 Kings 16:32, 18:19).

Ahab and Jezebel were a clear example of why God prohibited the intermarriage, and in this case a politically-inspired marriage, between the Israelites and the "people of the land" at that time. It almost always resulted in the corruption of the Israelite, rather than the conversion of the idolater.

The idolatry was of course a direct violation of the First and Second of The Ten Commandments. In Jezebel's case, it involved some of the most vile and perverted behavior imaginable. Even little babies were sacrificed in fire as burnt offerings to her god of stone. It was the height of wickedness.

Jezebel directly attempted to overthrow the worship of God - she commanded that the people forsake The Lord, and murdered as many of His prophets that she could find (1 Kings 18:4). The remainder were forced to hide in caves in the wilderness (1 Kings 18:13). Whether through arrogance or ignorance, challenging The Lord was of course her and Ahab's most foolish mistake. It spelled the end for them.

First, all of Jezebel's prophets of Baal were killed after a confrontation with the prophet Elijah on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:16-46).

Then, Ahab's turn. During a battle, an enemy archer fired a very "lucky" shot from a distance, aiming only at the body of troops. What did he hit? Ahab - the random shot not only hit the king himself, but also just "happened" to hit him between the sections of his armor where there was no protection. He bled through the day before dying at sunset (1 Kings 22:29-38). In a very ghastly spectacle, dogs licked up his blood from his chariot - just as The Lord had declared for his wickedness (1 Kings 22:38).

Jezebel's own extremely horrendous fate then came. Jehu had three eunuchs throw her from an upper story window, where she was then trampled to bits by horses in the street. Dogs then came and ate her body, leaving only the skull, feet and hands (2 Kings 9:30-37), according to the word of Elijah (1 Kings 21:19). It was a horrible end for a wicked human being.

How To Receive Your Daily Bible Study CD
(Please read carefully to understand how and why the CDs are available)

This ministry web site, with thousands of Bible studies (including a new study added every day, 365 days a year) is always freely available for everyone. As such, this Daily Bible Study has become a very expensive time and financial commitment for the author and the publisher. Every study, that takes you only minutes to read, takes many hours of work to write, format and technically make available and maintain on the web server. Without help, it would be impossible for this Daily Bible Study web site to continue. That is the simple reality of the situation.

We are not "selling" CDs. The CD is our humble thank you gift to the faithful who realize the importance of making Bible-based Christian teaching available to "all the world" as Christ commanded His servants to do. The map is an actual Daily Bible Study server statistics "snap shot" of visitors to Daily Bible Study at 7 am local time recently. The green bars represent the percentage of visitors to the web site (where on the planet requested pages were being sent to) at that moment in the entire time zone directly above the green bar. The graphic constantly changes through the day like a rolling wave across the world's time zones.

The Daily Bible Study Library CD is not for sale. The Daily Bible Study Library CD is produced as our thank-you gift to each person who actually makes a minimum $10 donation (in US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars, or 5 UK Pounds, or 5 Euros) to help this ministry to survive. The $10 / 5 Pound / 5 Euro minimum is required because it is the "break-even" cost of producing, handling and mailing the CD - amounts less than $10 / 5 Pounds / 5 Euros are therefore not a donation to this ministry but actually cause an unaffordable financial loss to the author.

The Daily Bible Study CD functions with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP. The directly-readable CD is designed to be easily and instantly portable from computer to computer. The contents are formatted to appear the same as the online Daily Bible Study web site and will automatically open by means of your computer's standard browser. Complete instructions are included with the CD.
