Ahab and Jezebel (I Kings 21:1-17)

What Christians Should Know

King Ahab and Queen Jezebel are two historical monarchs who appear in the narratives of the Old Testament. Ahab is best known for his failure to lead and his open endorsement of idolatry. Jezebel is best known for her bad behavior unbecoming of a queen, so much so that calling a woman a “Jezebel” is equivalent to using profanity in Christian circles.

Now, why is it important for us to study Bible characters who have been dead for thousands of years? Because the spirits of Ahab and Jezebel are alive and well today whenever we see power acting with an arrogant, presumptuous security in which it treads beneath its feet all divine and human rights.

In this episode gain a biblical understanding of these two spirits and how this wisdom applies to your everyday life in the family, in the world, and in the church.
