Side Note: The Burial of Jezebel. Our GREAT GOD determined that nothing of the flesh would remain of Jezebel. If God had allowed a single small visible minuscule tissue of the body of Jezebel to remain then man would have flocked to that site to worship that relic of evil. They probably could have called this relic, The Queen of Waste Management. This is man’s inherent nature, to worship evil. Consider the body of Moses.
● So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. (Deuteronomy 34:5) And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. (Deuteronomy 34:6)
● Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 1:9)
Why did the devil desire to have control over the dead body of Moses? Before we continue with this point over the devil’s contending with the archangel, Michael, for the body of Moses let’s look at God’s plan for the body of Moses. Here is another supernatural mystery that God had plans for Moses after his death and burial.
Side Note of a Side Note: The body of Moses. Three times in the gospels we are informed that Moses and Elias (Elijah) appeared in a bodily recognizable form to Peter, James and John on the mount of transfiguration. (Matthew 17:3,4; Mark 9:4, 5; Luke 9:30, 33) And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. (Matthew 17:3) Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. (Matthew 17:4) Notice that Moses and Elijah talked with the Lord Jesus, but DID NOT speak to either Peter, James or John. Although the apostles saw Moses and Elijah in their glorified state there was no communication between the spiritual glorified state and the natural state. However, John, in Revelation 19:10 and 22:9 was able to verbally interact with the spiritual glorified state of those in the supernatural realm.
Moses represented the LAW and Elias (Elijah) represented the PROPHETS. Although the body of Moses laid dead and buried, the promise of eternal life, and life everlasting was supernaturally revealed IN an actual living form, speaking and actively involved with the Lord of glory. God definitely had plans for Moses AFTER death, and that was LIFE. Elijah (a prophet) who was carried up into the heavens by a chariot represented all the saints who as Enoch (a prophet) were translated and appeared also with Moses to reveal that both Enoch and Elijah were translated from a world and a body of death into a world of LIFE with a body prepared for that divine LIFE. God definitely had plans for both Enoch and Elijah and that was LIFE.
✔ And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: (Job 19:26)
✔ As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. (Psalm 17:15)
✔ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (1st Corinthians 15:49)
✔ Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (Philippians 3:21)
✔ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4)
✔ Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1st John 3:2) And with that NEW LIFE there is SERVICE. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. (Revelation 7:15) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: (Revelation 22:3) ◆ End of Side Note of a Side Note: The Body of Moses.
How advantageous it would have been for Satan’s cause to draw both Israel and Gentiles to the grand sepulcher of Moses! Man will fall down and worship anything and everything in their religious fervor to acquire what they perceive as religiousness: the power with God and over God. Just think why God did not allow the ark to remain intact. Although there are many things that God has removed from man’s reach, this did not stop man from creating manufactured relics. CLICK HERE to understand more about the nature of mankind to worship relics. What began in the book of Numbers Chapter 21 to draw people to God’s power over nature and to His power of salvation became a point of unacceptable worship.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. (Numbers 21:6)
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. (Numbers 21:7)
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. (Numbers 21:8)
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. (Numbers 21:9)
How did the brazen serpent survive for 725 years? Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. (2nd Kings 18:1)
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. (2nd Kings 18:2)
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did. (2nd Kings 18:3)
He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. (2nd Kings 18:4)
Nehushtan was just one example by the Holy Spirit of God to show that mankind HAS TO HAVE something to worship NOT CENTERED around God. The first Chapter of the book of Romans CLEARLY reveals the blackness of man’s mind and heart.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (Romans 1:18)
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (Romans 1:19)
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Romans 1:20)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Romans 1:21)
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:22)
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Romans 1:23)
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (Romans 1:24)
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25)
Man has not changed. I have always found religion to be sometimes amusing in their appeal for funds, for in their use of ‘faith’ they seem to be the only ones unable to live by ‘faith.’ In order to function they must have a set budget, but their supporters need to live by ‘faith’ and not by a budget . . . ‘Faith for thee, but not for me.‘ Religion has not changed. Merchandisers of religious objects have found religion to be an extremely profitable market. Just think how the selling point of ‘wood from the cross of Christ’ is a good payday for sellers. Never forget that the first merchandiser was Lucifer. Usually, the first one to stake a claim on a manufactured relic and pronounce its religious value of sainthood is Romanism. Do not smirk. Every organization under the banner of religion has a so-called relic that pays well. One relic that is common among all counterfeit religions is the worship of their own religion. They will fight viciously for their religion but NOT for CHRIST. Even while standing under the banner of ‘Christianity’ their religious minds cannot comprehend the difference between Christianity and religion. Consider the shroud of Turin. Aa hah, now that opens a door for controversy.
The shroud of Turin is a deliberate fabricated lie, let me state it in a gentler and kinder way . . . it is a massive LIE manufactured and merchandised for profit. The Lord Jesus Christ was buried according to strict Jewish burial laws and regulations. THIS WAS NO SHROUD! As all liars know, very few will ever research and seek to find the truth, therefore, very few will turn to the word of God for TRUTH. So, therefore, wherefore, and ergo, READ the following.
● LAZARUS: The 11th Chapter of the gospel of John, verses 38 – 44 is the burial and the resurrection of Lazarus. Especially notice verse 44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. Lazarus was buried with a napkin over his face and his body bound with graveclothes. Strips of cloth wrapped his entire body.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. (John 11:38)
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. (John 11:39)
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? (John 11:40)
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. (John 11:41)
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. (John 11:42)
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. (John 11:43)
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. (John 11:44)
● THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. The 19th Chapter of the gospel of John describes how Nicodemus (a leader of the Jews, a scholar in Jewish biblical history) and Joseph of Arimathaea (a disciple of Jesus) wrapped His body in preparation for burial.
And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. (John 19:39) Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. (John 19:40)
● THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. In the 20th Chapter of the gospel of John, notice that three times linen clothes is mentioned, and also the napkin around His head. DO YOU SEE A SHROUD MENTIONED? There is a huge difference between A NAPKIN size cloth and a SHROUD.
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. (John 20:2)
Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. (John 20:3)
~
So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. (John 20:4)
And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. (John 20:5)
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, (John 20:6)
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. (John 20:7)
● ANANIAS. Acts Chapter 5 describes how Ananias was prepared for burial. He was quickly wound up . . . no shroud here.
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. (Acts 5:5) And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. (Acts 5:6)
I don’t care how many experts proclaim the validity of the so-called shroud of Turin. These paid experts would verify anything for anyone at any time as long as gold passed into their greedy lying claws. They only thing that they can claim to be experts in is LYING. That’s how the majority of scientists roll . . . show them the money.
Now, where were we? Oh, yeah, Jezebel’s burial . . . [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel. God definitely made sure that there was very little left of Jezebel to bury or even to see. And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of [her] hands. (2nd Kings 9:35) Jezebel was an example of how Lucifer developed the worst within a willing female to infect a nation with whoredoms and harlotry. Even ravenous dogs refused to devour what remained of her evil and treacherous mind that had reveled in the doctrines of devils; they rejected her wily walk of whoredoms, and those carnivorous animals touched not her bloody palms that had caressed the heinous powers of Satan. ◆ End of Side Note: The burial of Jezebel.
