HOW LONG will you HALT BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS (Ref. 38) 28 December 2017 (From the desk of Celia Joy Martins)
"... HOW LONG WILL you HALT AND LIMP BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? If ELOHIM YAHWEH is GOD, FOLLOW HIM! BUT if BAAL, THEN FOLLOW him ... " 1 Kings 18:21
"I will LEAVE Myself 7,000 in Israel, ALL THE KNEES that HAVE NOT BOWED to BAAL and EVERY MOUTH that HAS NOT KISSED him" (1 Kings 19:18).
With the Israelites in their promised land, they FAILED MISERABLY to walk the Godly road. Time and again they fell into disobedience and idolatry, TURNING AWAY from ABBA in worshipping the gods of the Canaanites worshipping BAAL AND ASHERAH AND WEPT for TAMMUZ only to REJOICE in WORSHIPPING him on the 25th of December - celebrating his REBIRTH.
THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT - the DEVIL MOVED RIGHT IN:
In the times when Ahab and Jezebel were reigning over the kingdom of Israel, idolatry and paganism were at its peak in the kingdom of Israel. Jezebel, the most wicked queen in the kingdom of Israel's life - brought her pagan beliefs with her when she was married to Ahab - a marriage that was arranged in a political agreement by her father and Ahab's father Omri, the 6th king of the kingdom of Israel. Omri sealed the agreement of marriage of his son Ahab to the Phoenician princess, Jezebel - DAUGHTER OF ET-BAAL, the KING of the SIDONEANS. THIS MARRIAGE AGREEMENT WAS ALSO A COVENANT/TREATY with IDOLATRY. BAAL (Satan and his agents in disguise - Satanism) was the MAIN god (and religion) of the Phoenicians.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS VERSUS GODLY OBEDIENCE:
Because of political protocol, the people of the kingdom of Israel, were ceremonially required to RESPECT JEZEBEL'S BELIEFS. When this SPIRIT or any OTHER EVIL SPIRIT (SATANISM in DISGUISE) are EMBRACED, it SOON BECOMES POLITICAL CORRECT to COMPROMISE AND EMBRACE ALL LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL IDOLATRY. THEN - POLITICAL CORRECTNESS BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT than TO BE GODLY OBEDIENT.
THE ENEMY AND HIS EVIL WORKS: the gods of PAGANISM:
Jezebel's name translates to "UNHUSBANDED" - signifying that she would NEVER SUBMIT to her husband. SHE WAS IN CONTROL from the very beginning. She SET UP IDOL WORSHIPPING PROSTITUTION IN the TEMPLES of YAH and ACCUMULATED 400 ASHERAH [the GODDESS] PROPHETS (ministers of faith in those days) who ATE at her table (1 Kings 18:19). She also ACCUMULATED 450 BAAL PROPHETS (ministers of faith in those days) - The enemy - the 'whore' of Babylon (Rev. 17) - the EVIL spirits and demons - a complete army of evilness working behind the scenes in Babylonia - Satanism - MOVED RIGHT INTO the KINGDOM of ISRAEL - then INTO the KINGDOM of JUDAH - MOVED THROUGH the CENTURIES (under many many different names) - INTO the ROMAN RELIGION of CATHOLIC CHRISTIANITY (Constantine the great) as a REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY - INTO and WITH the REFORMATION - and INTO PROTESTANTISM (inclusive of LUTHERANISM).
This DEADLY EVIL ARMY - USING PEOPLE - NATIONS - FAMILIES - CHILDREN - BABIES - GOVERNMENTS - PRIESTS - TRIBES and CLANS - ORGANIZATIONS and WORLD RELIGIONS - MURDERED MANY MANY PEOPLE - CAUSED WARS - CAUSED TERRORISM - CAUSED ISLAM AND ISIS - MURDERED the FRENCH HUGUENOTS and in DECEPTION CHRISTIANITY RELY on people like the so-called "GREAT CHURCH-FATHER" of the REFORMATION - MARTIN LUTHER who wrote his anti-Semitic book "The JEWS AND THEIR LIES" . This ATROCIOUS - EVIL AND BRUTAL BOOK from MARTIN LUTHER'S MINDSET AND PEN - HIGLY REGARDED by his countrymen (the GERMAN NAZIS) SEEING him as a "PROPHET" - USING his TERRIBLE BOOK as a "BLUE PRINT" a "BIBLE" to MURDER millions of JEWISH PEOPLE in WORLD WAR 2 - a WAR that RAGED when my mother and father were married. A WAR that MURDERED MILLIONS of the "APPLE of ABBA'S EYES" - the Jewish people - in DEATHCAMPS when my mother and father became the proud parents of their first-born son - my mother expecting my oldest sister.

1 Kings 18:21 "... HOW LONG WILL you HALT AND LIMP BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? IF ELOHIM YAHWEH is GOD, FOLLOW HIM! BUT if BAAL, THEN FOLLOW him. And the people did not answer him a word."
O ABBA FATHER OPEN UP OUR EYES to SEE - Help us to READ YOUR WORD with MESSIANIC EYES - and not with GENTILE EYES. Help us to UNDERSTAND - to SEEK YOUR FACE - to FOLLOW AND HEED YOUR COMMANDMENTS and to SUBMIT OURSELVES EVERY DAY AFRESH to YOU our WONDERFUL KING. In Yahshua Messiah's Name. Amen.
