The historical Jezebel was an evil, idolatrous, and impudent queen. She was the wife of Ahab, King of Israel. She hated God and killed His prophets. In the New Testament, a woman named Jezebel seduces the brethren of Thyatira (Revelation 2). Jezebel is the fitting type of the woman “Sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy” (Revelation 17). Let us never be seduced by such evil as this woman represents.
