For it was [so], when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) . . . Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
1 Kings 18:4, 13
Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them." Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day's journey into the desert. He came to a broom tree, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, Lord," he said. "Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors."
1 Kings 19:1-4 (NIV)
And concerning Jezebel the LORD also spoke, saying, 'The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.' The dogs shall eat whoever belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field." But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up.
And he behaved very abominably in following idols, according to all [that] the Amorites had done, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went about mourning. And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, "See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. In the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house."
1 Kings 21:23
You shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab all the males in Israel, both bond and free. So I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. The dogs shall eat Jezebel on the plot [of ground] at Jezreel, and [there shall be] none to bury [her].' " And he opened the door and fled...
Now it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, "[Is it] peace, Jehu?" So he answered, "What peace, as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft [are so] many?"...
Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it]; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, "[Is it] peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?" And he looked up at the window, and said, "Who [is] on my side? Who?" So two [or] three eunuchs looked out at him. Then he said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down, and [some] of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot.
And when he had gone in, he ate and drank. Then he said, "Go now, see to this accursed [woman], and bury her, for she was a king's daughter." So they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of [her] hands. Therefore they came back and told him. And he said, "This [is] the word of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'On the plot [of ground] at Jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; and the corpse of Jezebel shall be as refuse on the surface of the field, in the plot at Jezreel, so that they shall not say, "Here [lies] Jezebel." ' "
2 Kings 9:7-10, 22, 30-37
"Praise be to the LORD my ROCK, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. HE is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me."
Psalm 144:1-2
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which IS the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on ALL occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, BE ALERT and always keep on praying for all the saints."
Ephesians 6:10-18
"Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic and sorely vexed; for ofttimes he falleth into the fire and oft into the water. And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they could not cure him." Then Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to Me." And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, "Why could we not cast him out?" And Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, `Remove hence to yonder place,' and it shall remove. And nothing shall be impossible unto you. However this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
Matthew 17:15-21
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him and enter no more into him." And the spirit cried, and rent the boy sorely and came out of him; and he was as one dead, insomuch that many said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could not we cast him out?" And He said unto them, "This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting."
Luke 9:26-29
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Acts 8:9-11
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Galatians 3:1
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Revelation 2:20-23
The Jezebel Spirits Helpers, Messengers, Slaves and Eunuchs
kcapostle | www.jonasclark.com | 13 July 2010
The Holy Spirit is saying, “It’s time for the eunuchs of Jezebel to consider their ways.” Find out what a 21st century Jezebel spirit helper, messenger, slave and eunuch looks like and why you must guard yourself from becoming Jezebel’s wicked assistant.
When Jehu assaulted the house of King Ahab to destroy his rule, Jezebel, his wife, painted her face (symbolic of deception) and viewed Jehu through a window. Jehu, a warring apostle, looked up at her, spotted a couple eunuchs standing by, and told them to toss the evil queen down (2 Kings 9:30-33). Observe the position of the eunuchs — in Jezebel’s bedchamber.
The Church is in a time of restoration through reformation, transition, and the establishment of apostolic order. Before the completion of an apostolic order there are things that can no longer be tolerated in the Church of Jesus Christ, such as:
- Gospel pimps and merchandisers such as those following the ways of the Prophet Balaam who was hired to curse Israel (Numbers 22).
- The spirit of Jezebel that seduces, deceives, and murders the true prophetic voice.
- The helpers, messengers, slaves and eunuchs of the Jezebel spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not only dealing with the Jezebel spirit, He is also dealing with her eunuchs. Eunuchs are those servants of Jezebel that have no spiritual strength of their own. Those servants of Jezebel that refuse to repent are destined for tribulation.
Jezebel’s servants have many wicked attributes. They are messengers, representatives, students, sentinels, guards, attendants and her spiritual children. They are also devoted to the Jezebel spirits well being and offer themselves as armor bearers. Without spiritual fortitude they look to her for approval and direction. As eunuchs continue to serve Jezebel they are drawn into her most intimate quarters and are, according to the bible, known as keepers of Jezebel's bed.
The Spirit of God offers the same admonishment for both the spirit of Jezebel and her helpers, messengers, slaves and eunuchs — repent. If you choose not to repent then pressure and tribulation is headed your way. Like Jehu of old, my instruction to the eunuchs of the Jezebel spirit is this, “Consider your ways. Stop serving the spirit of Jezebel and throw her out of your life.”

Discerning Jezebel's Eunuchs
The Holy Spirit is saying, “It’s time for the eunuchs of Jezebel to consider their ways.” Discover what a 21st century eunuch looks like and why you must guard yourself from becoming Jezebel’s wicked assistant.
When Jehu attacked the house of King Ahab to destroy his rule, Jezebel, his wife, painted her face (symbolic of deception) and looked at Jehu through a window. Jehu, a warring apostle, looked up at her, noticed two or three eunuchs standing by, and commanded them to throw the evil queen down (2 Kings 9:30-33). Notice the location of the eunuchs — Jezebel’s bedchamber.
The Church is in a time of restoration throughreformation, transition, and the establishment of apostolic order. This apostolic order is the prerequisite to the appearing of the glorious Church and the restoration of the tabernacle of David (Ephesians 5:27; Acts 15:16). Before the completion of an apostolic order, however, there are things that can no longer be tolerated in the Church of Jesus Christ, such as:
Enemies, like Tobiah, whom Nehemiah threw out of the house of God because of the ungodly association and position, given him by the priest Eliashib (Nehemiah 13).
Merchandisers such as the Prophet Balaam who was hired to curse Israel (Numbers 22).
The spirit of Jezebel who seduces, deceives, and murders the true prophetic voice.
The Holy Spirit is not only dealing with the Jezebel spirit, He is also dealing with her eunuchs. Those who refuse to repent are destined for tribulation. Jezebel’s eunuchs serve at least 11 functions for their wicked spiritual mother…
1. MESSENGERS OF JEZEBEL
Jezebel uses eunuchs to carry her messages, perform errands, deliver letters, invitations and spread the word. Eunuchs are official couriers and bearers of news. Jezebel prefers to use a eunuch envoy to deliver her message to you rather than coming to you herself.
2. REPRESENTATIVES OF JEZEBEL
Much like sold out Christians are ambassadors for Jesus Christ, eunuchs are authorized as official agents and delegates of Jezebel. And just as we possess certain characteristics of Christ, Jezebel’s representatives carry her character and power. When Jezebel can’t or doesn’t want to attend a meeting herself, look for her eunuch representatives.
3. STUDENTS OF JEZEBEL
Eunuchs are full-time students of Jezebel’s teachings. When faced with the truth of Scripture, the eunuch will run to Jezebel for her perverted twist and seducing interpretations.
4. SENTINELS AND GUARDS OF JEZEBEL
Eunuchs watch out for, protect, defend and alert Jezebel of impending harm. Like football players, they block and run interference for those carrying the ball through the defensive line of the opposing team.
5. ATTENDANTS OF JEZEBEL
Eunuchs feel compelled to serve and meet even the most trifling need of Jezebel. They are overly sensitive to her every whim like waiters at a five-star restaurant serving a Head of State.
6. SPIRITUAL CHILDREN OF JEZEBEL
Eunuchs are the spiritual children of Jezebel, oftentimes referring to her as their spiritual mother. Once I gave a ministry assignment to a young man whom I was mentoring in ministry. He told me that he needed permission from his spiritual mother (someone in another city) before he could do what I asked. In a separate incident, a woman told me she had to check with an apostle (of another church) for permission to do what I asked her, even though she was no longer a member of that church. I recognized both of these people as Jezebel’s eunuchs and removed them from any leadership training. When you are part of a local church, that set-man is your leader, if not then you need to leave.
7. INTELLIGENCE AGENTS OF JEZEBEL
Eunuchs are Jezebel’s intelligence agents who are secretly employed in espionage. Jezebel feeds on knowledge and uses eunuchs as operatives to gather vital information to maintain her control and influence. Many times I have seen her spies snooping for information that was none of their business.
8. DEVOTED TO JEZEBEL’S WELLBEING
Eunuchs have a misplaced devotion, commitment and loyalty to the purposes of Jezebel. They offer themselves freely with time and attention to her wellbeing. They are strongly attached, zealous and devoted admirers of her. The word devote is from the Latin word devovere (de + vovere) meaning to vow. Thus, the devoted eunuch is one set apart, consecrated and dedicated to Jezebel.
9. ARMOR BEARERS TO JEZEBEL
Jezebel’s eunuch is an armorbearer. Like a squire that carries the armor of a knight, Jezebel’s eunuchs are always by her side carrying her armor and weapons.
10. WITHOUT SPIRITUAL STRENGTH
Eunuchs are those castrated by the spirit of Jezebel. The Hebrew word for eunuch (cariyc) represents a castrated person and keeper of the bedchamber (chamberlain). This lack of spiritual strength is what allows Jezebel to draw the eunuch to begin with — and is what makes it so difficult for the eunuch to break free even upon revelation of the truth.
My father purchased a fine looking stallion when I was a young man and my job was to take care of him. He was a magnificent Dutch Warmblood, quite valuable, with a strong back, hindquarters, and incredibly powerful. When we built the barn and horse stalls, the one prepared for the stallion had to be fortified because he had the strength to tear it apart at will.
Unlike a dossal gilded horse that could be led around with a simple lead rope snapped to an eye-ring on a halter, this stallion required two chain leads wrapped solidly around his nose to walk him around.
Like this stallion, God wants His children spiritually strong, full of His power and might. Jezebels’ eunuchs, however, are weak spiritually and dependant on her warring abilities. They are made completely reliant on her.
11. KEEPERS OF JEZEBEL’S BED
As chamberlains, Jezebel’s eunuchs are allowed unrestricted access into her private dwelling. One’s bedroom is the most private and intimate place in the home. Such access represents the intimate relationship the eunuch has with Jezebel.
The Spirit of God offers the same admonishment for both Jezebel and her eunuchs alike — repent. Scripture declares, “I gave her space to repent of her fornication” (Revelation 2:21).
How long was that space? Only the Spirit of God knows that answer.
Like Jehu of old, my instruction to the eunuch is, “Consider your ways; stop serving Jezebel and throw her out of your life.” If you have been a eunuch, it’s time to ask Jesus for His forgiveness. The Word of God says,
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
SARAH GETS FREE FROM PHYLLIS’ CONTROL
One Sunday at church Sarah had an incredible experience at the altar. The Holy Spirit opened her eyes to the deceit, control and manipulation that Phyllis had used to keep her isolated from others who could speak into her life. It was so dramatic that it was almost as though she had put Phyllis in the place of Jesus Himself. But now her eyes were opened. It was clear to her that she had to break free of Phyllis’s influence.
She confronted Phyllis and told her that she could no longer attend her Bible studies, and wanted to break away from their relationship. Phyllis was angry and told Sarah that she would be in great danger to do so. But it was too late for those types of false prophetic warnings. Sarah was determined to be free.
Sarah saw Phyllis in the grocery store about a year after she left the group. Sarah could still feel the spiritual pull from Phyllis. Today Sarah is still overcoming the time that she spent being deceived by the Jezebel spirit. The group broke up, but Sarah reports that Phyllis is still hopping from church to church looking for others who will feed at her table.
Scripture is very clear regarding those who refuse to repent of operating with a Jezebel spirit, “Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds” (Revelation 2:22).
This decree of tribulation by Jesus, our Chief Apostle, was not only directed to those operating by a Jezebel spirit, but also to those who “commit adultery with her” — her eunuchs. The word tribulation (thlipsis) means the application of continuous pressure without relief from stress, grievance and trouble. The common stress and pressure from modern life is nothing compared to the pressure (thlipsis) the Holy Spirit allows on the unrepentant eunuchs of Jezebel; it is pressure without relief.
I WILL KILL HER CHILDREN
“And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works” (Revelation 2:23).
“To kill her children” means anything that Jezebel gives birth to in her ministry will not stand and will be cut off by the Lord.
In the next chapter we will review some key points we have learned about Jezebel and her slavery and how to break free from her control.
