The False Prophets

of BAAL.

I was speaking to a proudly Jewish man who didn't realize the False Prophets of Baal were in the service of the King of Israel's Court. Ahab was king of Israel after the split of the two kingdoms, Judah and Israel, and was married to Jezebel who consulted foreign false gods and hired false prophets called the prophets of Baal- because Baal is sort of short for Bealzebub, or Satan.
Satanic worship in the King of Israels court when Ahab was king.

This is where famously Elijiah enters the scene with his famous Mount Carmel showdown with the false prophets where he calls the Lord who calls down fire all over a sacrifice while the Prophets of Baal couldnt call down anything from their fake gods but the slashing of their own selves in a deluded frenzy. Elijiah slew ALL the prophets of Baal -some 400 of them, who were in sort of a guild in the employ of the palace of the then King of Israel.

This should tell you that historically being Jewish is no guarantee necessarily that the state is always going to get it right and not go off the rails. It should say that there is something higher than just jewishness that one needs to evaluate in determining goodness- because the test is
whether one is Faithful to the one true God. That is what defines righteousness-
and for a Christian, they see no contradiction in Jesus as trinitarian one with the father and holy spirit being part of the triune God.

Jezebel was a sleazy piece of work. She wanted her neighbors land- classic coveting against one of the top ten commandments. So does she try to buy the guy out for a good price? No, she just plots to kill off the owner.

Was there any emminent domain price paid for expropriated land formerly owned, farmed or occupied by the Palestinians that became the state of Israel?
Was there ever a truth and reconciliation commission that valued land and gave price for it?

The truest most righteous people in Israel are saying- look. To covet land and get it by just killing off the owner is not righteous. Its what Jezebel and Ahab did. And look what happened to them.
