Study Guide of Attributes of Jezebel

/

For the purpose of our study, Revival of Prophetic Vision, we will look into the attributes of the two women named Jezebel in the Scripture.   The Jezebel mentioned in 1 Kings 16-22 & 2 Kings 9 and her counter-part in Revelation 2:18-30 are not the same person.  However their characteristics can be indicators of why the flow of prophetic vision has been hindered or stopped down through the ages, even until this present time. 

The following study guide is not meant to be inclusive of everything that can kill Revival of Prophetic Vision. The intent is that the following information will help to bring clarity and understanding so that your vision will be restored. 

What Stops the Flow?

Ephesians 6: 10-13 (NKJ) “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

The Great Apostasy

2 Thessalonians 2:1 -12 “Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
