Jezebel and Strange Fire: You Cannot Serve God and Mammon Too.
There is only one God – the Father God in Jesus Christ. Strange Fire is a reference to the danger of offending the Holy Spirit with counterfeit worship.
Matthew 6:24 “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

Jezebel (died c. 843 BC – Before Christ), in the Bible, the wife of King Ahab, who ruled the kingdom of Israel, pressed the cult of Baal on the Israelite kingdom but was finally killed in accordance with Elijah’s prophecy. Jezebel continued to worship the nature god Baal. Her citizens and the Hebrew God prophet Elijah (Christianity) despised such actions. Jezebel prepared herself to be murdered by General Jehu, she applied makeup and dressed in finery before she was thrown over her balcony and eaten by dogs.
she provoked a conflict that weakened Israel for decades by interfering with the exclusive worship of God (Christianity), disregarding the rights of the common man, and defying the great prophets Elijah and Elisha. Jezebel existed before Jesus Christ (born in the flesh as the Son of God). Most of the prophets of God were killed at her command.
Revelation 2:20 – 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. 20Notwithstanding 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. 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. 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.
1 Kings 21:25 – But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. 1 Kings 16:31 – And it came to pass as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
1 Kings 18:4 – For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
1 Kings 21:23 – And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
1 Kings 18:13 – Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD’S prophets by fifty in a cave and fed them with bread and water?
