Re: Jezebel -- why we should know who she is.
1Kings 18:4 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
The only ones that would stand against Jezebel would be the prophets of God. So a key part of her strategy was not to just put 850 of her own prophets into place but to also cut off the prophets of God.
We saw this with Hitler when he took power, assassinating those who would stand against him.
You can learn about the leader by those he appoints as well as those he goes after to cut off.
This is why we are so concerned with the attack from Witness Lee towards all Christianity and all Christians. He effectively "cut off" any prophets other than LSM approved prophets. As a result there were no voices to stand against WL.
