Anointed Eaten Insulted Israel Jezebel Prophet Testament Throws Widow Foretold Jehu
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts the biblical tale of Jezebel's defenestration, an event that marked the end of the wicked Queen Jezebel's reign in ancient Israel. The scene unfolds as Jehu, the anointed successor to the throne, stands before the palace window, his face contorted with anger and disdain. Insulted by the defiant widow of the deceased King Ahab, Jezebel, Jehu orders his soldiers to cast her from the window into the unforgiving streets below. The prophet, foretold of this gruesome fate, looks on with a somber expression, his hand raised in a gesture of warning. The once grand palace facade, now a backdrop to this brutal act, looms ominously in the background. The empty, desolate street stretches out before them, offering no refuge for the fallen monarch. As the dust settles, the prophecy comes to fruition as Jezebel's lifeless body lies mangled in the street, her once regal attire now torn and tattered. The ominous presence of the dogs, circling and gnawing at her remains, underscores the harsh reality of her fate. The once powerful queen, reduced to a mere meal for scavengers, serves as a stark reminder of the transient nature of power and the consequences of defying the will of the Lord. This historical print, taken from the pages of an old Testament, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of religious history and the events that shaped the ancient world. The image's haunting beauty and intriguing narrative continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the complexities of human nature and the enduring power of prophecy.
