"AND THE DEAD BODY OF JEZEBEL WILL CERTAINLY BECOME AS MANURE UPON THE FACE OF THE FIELD IN THE TRACT OF LAND OF JEZREEL, THAT THEY MAY NOT SAY: "THIS IS JEZEBEL."" (2 KINGS 9:37 NWT).

(JEZREEL: GOD WILL SOW SEED).

JEZEBEL'S MANURE -- FOR GOD TO SOW SEED? HOW?
"And His Spirit is like a flooding torrent that reaches clear to the neck, to swing the nations to and fro with a sieve of worthlessness". (Isaiah 30:28). Symbolically, Jezebel's "manure" are the errors of her unrepentant heart. They are the evidence and knowledge of "her" offences (Rev 2:20-23), which God is using to nurture plantings of, and for, His "seed". "And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will certainly be collected together into a unity and will actually set up for themselves one head and go up out of the land, because great will be the day of Jezreel". (Hosea 1:11 NWT). The one head is The Christ our Lord Michael.

The "sieve of worthlessness" will reveal who truly are God's beloved people, refining out "that woman Jezebel" who used various wiles to acquire glory by acting as her husband's lord; having therefore no husbandly authority to complement. Only man can be God's glory, and the woman man's glory, provided they are both in unity under "one head" in God's arrangement. (1 Cor 11:3,7. 1 Kings 21:7,8). Because the people of the nations make many excuses for their worthless state, they will be shaken by the "sieve of worthlessness" and will not remain. (Isaiah 30:27,28. Heb 12:26-28 NEB). Jehovah has said: "In the tract of land of Jezreel the dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel." (2 Kings 9:36B). The "dogs" symbolize those "eating things sacrificed to idols" outside God's arrangement. (Rev 22:15. Rev 2:20). Her bones are to be a dung-like memorial of God's denunciations against "her". (Isaiah 30:27. 1 Kings 19:2). "Ahab"‑types believe they should complement their "Jezebel" wives, instead of being as God intended: "I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him." (Gen 2:18).

Consequently: "The dead bodies of mankind must also fall like manure upon the face of the field and like a row of newly cut grain after the reaper". (Jer 9:22. 25:33. Zeph 1:14-18). "And the threshing floors must be full of cleansed grain, and the press vats must overflow with new wine and oil." (Joel 2:24). These are God's people who have obeyed the "good news", and who have progressed further than their gathering by baptism. They become "cleansed grain", without "dungy idols" (baal worshippers) among them. There is no need of rank among them, as approved anointed underpriests will administer God's inspired Word. One's physical requirements will be fulfilled according to one's need and love for God.

While the pouring out of God's Spirit upon all mankind is for judgement, it will also be a reason for rejoicing in these last days, just as at Pentecost. (Joel 2:28). That is the reason why God now says: "You must not take for yourself a wife, and you must not come to have sons and daughters in this place". (Jer 16:1,2).

"And I will make compensation to you for the years that the locust, the creeping, unwinged locust, and the cockroach and the caterpillar have eaten, My great military force that I have sent among you. And you will certainly eat, eating and becoming satisfied, and you will be bound to praise the Name of Jehovah your God, who has done with you so wonderfully; and My people will not be ashamed to time indefinite. And you people will have to know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God and there is no other. And My people will not be ashamed to time indefinite." (Joel 2:25-27).
