the men did not have beards, therefore they were identified readily as emasculated males,
or eunuchs.
Woman was created to be man’s helper, to be subordinate to the man. In the third
chapter of Genesis God declares to the woman, “Your desire shall be toward your husband,
and he shall rule over you.” This is a declaration of Yahweh’s governmental order. Paul
states in I Corinthians chapter eleven, “Christ is the head of man, and man is the head of
woman.” Jezebel is in rebellion against this order. She does not want man to rule over her.
She wants to rule over men. This is what Jezebel did. By acting in her husband’s stead,
writing letters in his name, and using his seal (the symbol of authority), commanding his
elders and nobles, and by surrounding herself with emasculated males, she turned men into
effeminate drones, compliant to her wishes, willing to serve her.
The woman who acts in this manner, seeking to command men, desiring them to fulfill
her will and desires, will find that her actions bear many grievous results. Although Jezebel
was successful in turning emasculated men into compliant servants, these men held no love
in their hearts for her. When Jehu asked who was on his side, it was these emasculated men
who showed their faces. They required no persuading to cast Jezebel down to her death. A
deep resentment of what she had done to them made them eager to see her fall. It took a
man who was not cowed by Jezebel, to embolden them to act, but act they did. They cast
Jezebel down from the exalted position she had taken unto herself. Her body was dashed
on the ground and trampled by horses.
A very revelatory experience was shared with me recently, and I believe God made it
known to me at this time to give me insight into this subject that I have been led of the
Spirit to write about. Many years ago, a sister in Christ married a man whom she had been
dating for a couple of years. After they were wed, this man manifested no desire to be
sexually intimate with her, though he did father one child with her. This man was ruled by
his mother, and his mother hated the young woman he was married to. The mother sought
to control everything he did, and told her son how to run his marriage.
This man was very compliant to his mother. He always did what she said, even to
leaving his wife for periods of time, and taking their child with them, when his mother told
him to do so. This man had no enmity toward his wife. He never acted as if he were
personally angry with her. He was simply fulfilling the demands of his controlling mother.
One day, the young woman was told by a spiritual mentor about spirits that influence
others to act certain ways. The mentor suggested that perhaps her husband’s lack of desire
toward her was due to the influence of an unclean spirit. Afterwards, this young woman
began to pray for her husband. By the leading of the Holy Spirit she prayed “I rebuke you,
you spirit of homosexuality.” This woman’s husband was in another room, and she was
praying quietly so that her husband would not hear her. As she spoke these words, her
husband burst through the door, picked her up, slammed her against the wall and said,
“Why are you rebuking me? Why are you rebuking me?”
This man was cowed into letting his mother rule his life, and one unanticipated result
was a lack of desire in this man’s heart to be intimate with women. The offense caused by
his mother’s domineering actions opened him up to a spirit of homosexuality. Many women
today who act to coerce, or control their husbands, find that their husbands have little
desire to be sexually intimate with them. This result is unexpected for many women. They
do not realize that in failing to show honor and respect to their husband, refusing to submit
to their husband’s headship, they are quenching the man’s desire to be intimate with them.
Many men begin to look elsewhere for the honor and respect that their wives do not
