Thank you for taking a look †
The blame game is a desperate situation. How so? The answers are in God's Word. Just staring us in the face crying out for us, then eventually against us, wisdom and understanding. Many say I give credit to God. But do you for all His wisdom in that Him and His Word is ALL right?
In this day and age either side wants no accountability for their own sins. This is why you see the control mechanisms in relationships. Not knowing limits. Not being accountable for the highest of promise in commitment. Which should be joined in one under Christ, and following His Word. This is shame to Christ and His Word. The power of the Lord is shown in the work and credibility of His Word. It is for our own good, and not harm. No one should be condemning in this if one is moving forward. We learn from our sin, look at the results, and where it got us and cut it off/out. This for one's own protection and the others protection. We say okay, let's learn and move and grow. Now what about things that are not sin? Some would say weaknesses in areas? Simple. God does not find fault in them, either should you! You bare with them, helping them, protecting them. You want freedom in unselfishness?
Let me give an example, people look down on other as stupid because they do things a certain way. This is wrong. I see it a lot, "well, I'm not perfect" Here is how the Bible defines perfect. Complete, wholesome and complete love for Christ then others.
Actually, both putting in this work in an unselfishness bares their burden in love, true love making the work less! You cannot demand in others in what you don't give (Luke 6:38). If you want it you must lift a finger. Notice not pointing THE FINGER for your own sins.
Ahab was of course evil and weak in the eyes of the Lord. Never repented. Jezebel ran the show. And I do mean show. What is seen here as well as you can forget about Christian. Even on a non-Christian level the Jezebel has no class, no remorse for her actions, either does Ahab (but we are taking about what is used as power, control, lordship). Men, this is for you. If you desire it and play with fire you are controlled to. You are supposed to be an example to them. Protect them as Christ laid down His life for the Church. We know the evil savagery out there now in people using people just to carry out sexual acts and the lust of the flesh, then the blame game after (refer to the circus that happened in the garden of Eden; Genesis 3). The first person to step in faith is the person who becomes accountable for their sin. You see many claim the Lord here in the end-times but bitter should be easy to see. The biggest end-times warning concerning love is self love, and self-worship. Have some self-respect which is gained from and through the LORD. A real woman with self-respect demands that from her man, self-respect. A real man respect it self-respecting himself.
No responsibility, (Proverbs 30:20) "Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness."
But what does the man do here? From the garden of Eden, "she made me do it." No, we must stand up and lead. She must view it for her own protection.
The game of entrapment continues:
The victim, the poor me game everyone else is to blame. Now what happens? The cycle continues when some man comes in with nothing but prey in his eyes with smooth talk. Of course, he is in denial too. The wrong denial not picking up His cross crucifying the flesh because there no fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-24). The twist also is when no one takes accountability for their own sin the burden is placed on the other. Not only are you saying to them they are wrong, but they are accountable for your sin. Making them your slave. Instead of being a servant to Christ and slave to Christ the want to for them to be your slave is all that is felt in this double the misery. But it is double the misery for both. There is no freedom in this. This is complete selfishness.The lie and living the lie goes on. There is no love in this mess obviously.
Solution: If we been here and you did not know if unintentional let's knock it off and live for the Lord as servants of and for the Lord. We have to repent for our part. Being convicted of all truth per John 3:16-21. Come to the light, and not condemned. We are already condemned before this, it is a given. I want to see no continue down this path of destruction and self-destruction, in living by the flesh. There is no joy to be found in it. Ask yourself where has it got you? It is truly a circus of two people using each other to carry out their selfish desires with no remorse, the story of Ahab and Jezebel. Ahab be a true man. Stand up. Stop using woman, stop being a womanizer to carry out your selfish lusts of the flesh. Get what you want then out the door. Pay no attention to woman. Yes pay attention and LEAD through God and His Word. All of His Word is for our protection, comfort, and joy. To keep us in the path we don't know any better, nor what to do. How to treat and view people until we learn His Word(s). You want true love? Lay your down for the sake of Gospel. Putting self aside. This does not mean we do not have self-interest. But the self-interest must be in harmony with pure motives being in God's Will. No repentance needed there (II Corinthians 7:8-12).
(I Kings 18:4) "For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
Want none of God and His Word. But they want to claim God, evil seductresses with evil spirits. Sell outs.
(I Kings 18:8-9) "And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
9And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
(Revelation 2:20-24) "Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
(Put up with her. Her goal is to take God's servants back into the world and of the world).
21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
(Opportunity to change heart and mind about it with remorse).
(That of course is satan's bed. Taken by satan as he come first to claim to be Christ/God is what it means. Taken and joined by satan here when he comes in the flesh).
(Luke 17:24) "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left."
To Revelation 2:23,
23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
(You want to support Jezebels' and take them down with you? You're going right with them. They use Christ to as a crutch to carry out their deeds. God's Word actually enrages them even more).
24But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Jezebel's have many performances. One of them is to compare themselves to other woman in physical appearance because they live by the flesh. The I'm not pretty game, men of course play into this to get what they want out of them, all while men are supposed to protect this as stated in Genesis 3 (this is very, very wrong). Sure in a committed relationship and leading up to it compliments are warranted. But it is the comparison of the flesh that shows living by the flesh. In short, The Lord wants you to be yourself, the individual He created you to be, and through Christ redeeming at the cross, salvation and a servant for Him. Helping others.
Jezebel's want and take control, not knowing their would be limits because they want to claim God, but not follow His Word. Therefore, they serve idolatry. Taking full control without any accountability and responsibility because they don't what to repent from. Because they do not know God's Word. They hate others for playing for fake, but they do it themselves. Shows that they think about others as well. Then they say, "no, not me." Well, yes this is what makes them Jezebel's everyone else is too blame as they have to steal the show in drama. They are currently up for best award in lead actress in stage shows, play-acting hypocrisy. Which of course, they feel entitled to the reward as a queen in their own mind at the expense of all others.
Suppose one thinks one is entitled.
End-times warnings and handling truth, being a servant of Christ and not a wicked servant.
This was right after Christ just got teaching of he great tribulation. That is satan is coming to claim to be Christ/God before Christ comes back. We stay on watch. No rapture/pre trib rapture.
Thank you for taking a look †
(Luke 21:34-38) "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
(Pay careful attention. Going back into the world, living by the flesh here. You're going to pay and pay severely. This is a warning to those who know the end-times truth. This word surfeiting actually comes from the root harpazo. What is interesting here of course is this: Knowing the end-times truth but yet being overcome what one was against, that is the false rapture/pre trib rapture doctrine. No one is above any of this).
Where did this begin? The heart. Therefore, turning bitter as always the end-times warning what not to do. That is bitter against anything. You should want good for people beginning with salvation then growing as a Christian from there.
35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
It's a trap. But why is Christ using this here? To think you can know better, do it anyway, then come back. As if you own the place, that entitlement. We are never entitled. But I would suppose thinking that you know all truth and are sharing it with other? Like the book of Revelation? Speeding up the kingdom of God in ways you can?
36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
In other words, you become entitled, pride it's going to be taken from you. Not when Christ comes back, but now. Stay on watch. (Never should we become entitled, a goodie two shoe, pride comes then always a fall) from what was given in the first place. Unless one hung on that cross themselves undeservedly then they can boast, and feel entitled.
A watchmen stays on the housetop and warns of satan's coming then Christ coming. When Christ uses the analogy He comes as a thief in the night. That would make two coming unawares here. Double trouble. If you think it could not happen, then you would be above Christ' Words here. The word escape means flee to safety. Why?
(Luke 21:21) "Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto."
(This is that moment satan sets up in Jerusalem claiming to be Christ/God. Overall point is do not look back. If you have become entitled before this. You may not even get the chance to look back on this day. As there will be nothing to look back to. Christ uses many analogies for end-times servants. One is this, not beating other servants down and forigiving. And if He gives you the truth you better be sharing it. All references; Matthew 24:45-51; Matthew 25; Luke 12:41-48).
Here is a view of Luke 12:45-46, “But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.”
(Those that knew better and entitled. Cut to pieces with the sword of Christ mouth when He comes back. They may get to be taught in the Millennium. The other who did not know better get less right on front of these wicked servants. Point is it can be taken from you just as easy when you know better).
Remember Lot's wife? Told to go to the mountains. Here in the sense of protection. Being covered:
(Luke 17:30-33) "Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32Remember Lot's wife.
33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it."
(Preserve = as in being the salt of the earth. Just happens to be of course Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt. Point is what she rejected with great warning came on here. Lot was trying to lead the way. She knew better then her husband she thought. Remember not being the salt of the earth then being good for nothing. Lot's wife failed the test. Would not want to listen the LORD, Lot, Abraham, and Lot through Abraham. She should of seen the wickedness around her. But love for the world outweighed Love for THE LORD here).
Let's take a look,
(Genesis 19:17) "And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed."
(Genesis 19:20) "Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live."
(Genesis 19:26) "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."
(And so it was. That is the warning and one know one should look past).
Back to Luke 21:37,
37And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
(Where Christ will return the Mount of Olives at His Second coming).
38And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him."
(Everyone wanted to hear this at the time. But take note not many were there standing around at the crucifixion. When the going got rough, and it was pure danger to be seen as a follower of Christ).
(Ephesians 5:22-32) "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
(Take the lead. Men do not use that taking advantage of that. Salvation and spiritual protection there forth. Discipline towards God's Word through the Holy Spirit. Not slavery as shown above in this study).
23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
(When Christ come back what do we have? Marriage and marriage supper of the lamb. For those who did not fornicate with satan and the beast. What they did was want the best of both worlds. But yet, both worlds are two worlds apart. That is flesh vs. Spirit, which is to say the Holy Spirit).
24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
(It better be God's Word. If use God's Word to impose bondage on her and others I will let you know. I do not play with this freedom, peace of mind going into bondage. Let me give an example. Say you love her but lusting after woman, porn junk. Which gives a lesser view of her. Through this putting her into bondage. Why? She has to meet the standards of another woman according to your selfish desires. This is an evil thing).
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
(He gave up His life that we may be saved. Hung on that cross in pain, suffering, and agony for us to do this. True love. Likewise, we are to spiritually put self aside, the will to sin, and have the will to serve Christ picking up our cross, and walking following Him. Being willing and open heart to be corrected along the way through the Holy Spirit).
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
(What does it? The Word, all for our cleansing into pure motives, just as Christ has and meant no harm).
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
(The lamb slain. Pure = Holy).
28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
(Love of self in the correct way. Seen above and just below here).
29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
(Self-respect, the physical example to spiritual (nutrition). Same concept as do unto others you would have them to do to you. All the law and the prophets hang on that. Two wrongs do not make a right, basically).
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
(The flesh crucified. Remember His bones were not broken. Symbolic for being our support structure and standing firm and upright).
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."
(Spiritually first, then the physical with helpmate).
32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
(No mystery between two Christians).
33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
(Respect the man for all this. We are the temple our body when it comes the physical. Remember, what the pharisees did to the temple? Usury. For their own selfish lusts and desires. Then said we're following the first commandment).
I'm so aware of how this may sting some. That is what the Word does and we change our ways. It has stung me and correct me, put me in line. Coming to see all of God's Word is for our protection.
Overall, this is what I Corinthians 15:50-57 tell us. God's word hitting our flesh and stinging is what we want. Then we repent and move on, and grow spiritually. As stated we all fall short. But Christians do not live in it, desire it, want it. There the physical body is corruptible as have seen in this study. It also covers serving the law. That is self-righteousness, justifying self, thus serving self through the law. Basically, saying to God I don't need the cross. I have it all figured out. I can make my own salvation. Standing in front of God saying your just and righteous without Christ. We are righteous because of Christ through our faith. Faith brings righteousness. Faith in who Christ says He is (the Messiah), and what He come to do (our sinless sacrifice for salvation and intercessor. Go between, in-between, and all between. Just as two joined together with Christ in the middle.
Conclusion there:
(I Corinthians 15:57-58) "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Thanks for it. True Thanksgiving here. No jive turkeys allowed).
AMEN †

58Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in
vain in the Lord.
(Steadfast = unwavering, over comers. Unmovable. The immovable force, THE ROCK reference. Remember He built His church on the rock. Remember, how Peter said He would die for Christ. Likewise, the example for men to protect. Do not labour in vain = Self-serving, but serving Christ).
Now what about holier than thou attitude? NO! No goodie two shoes. How is this performed? Have An attitude of superiority and control like saying I have something you cannot have. We all can have it. What a wonderful things that is. What else? We need to move on and grow from it. Goodie two shoes don't want to get their hands dirty, want to look pretty with an attitude of superiority (and we have been over the wicked servants) Won't go around a sinner or someone in sin. Oh yeah? How can you help anyone? You are good for nothing. Want to be someone? The be someone with the LORD not self-serving, but doing a good job for Him. You can cut that right out (superiority).
Finishing up where we started. This overall being a servant of Christ, and when He lends you something. A servant of Christ which one is employed to do you better be using it sharing salvation and the Lord's Word. Ahab and Jezebel were self-serving.
(Luke 19:26-27) "For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
(Steadfast = unwavering, over comers. Unmovable. The immovable force, THE ROCK reference. Remember He built His church on the rock. Remember, how Peter said He would die for Christ. Likewise, the example for men to protect. Do not labour in vain = Self-serving, but serving Christ).
Now what about holier than thou attitude? NO! No goodie two shoes. How is this performed? Have An attitude of superiority and control like saying I have something you cannot have. We all can have it. What a wonderful things that is. What else? We need to move on and grow from it. Goodie two shoes don't want to get their hands dirty, want to look pretty with an attitude of superiority (and we have been over the wicked servants) Won't go around a sinner or someone in sin. Oh yeah? How can you help anyone? You are good for nothing. Want to be someone? The be someone with the LORD not self-serving, but doing a good job for Him. You can cut that right out (superiority).
Finishing up where we started. This overall being a servant of Christ, and when He lends you something. A servant of Christ which one is employed to do you better be using it sharing salvation and the Lord's Word. Ahab and Jezebel were self-serving.
(Luke 19:26-27) "For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
AMEN †
