THE OSTENTATIOUS JEZEBEL Jezebel Jezebel is still the Bible's symbol of the physical beauty cult. Our Gospel Fathers once preached fearlessly whole messages on Holiness, Beauty of Jezebel, the woman who painted herself, and in so teaching, warded off many worldly evils. But today, the neo-Christian is completely conditioned to worldliness and vanity of flesh. Little girls in their young Cosmetics teens dress and paint like little harlots, mincing in the church. Mothers and fathers Glamour not only tolerate it, but practice it themselves. What was once considered an evil Vanity form of worldliness is now being promoted as Worldliness good from the pulpit! 16:3 BUT HE WALKED IN THE WAY OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL, YEA, AND MADE HIS SON TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, AC- CORDING TO THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE HEATHEN, WHOM THE LORD CAST OUT FROM BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.

2 KINGS SALT GUIDE TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS ____________________________________________________________ regarding the Halloween celebration. 1. They established October 31 as the day evil spirits return to the earth making contact with human beings. 2. They originated the idea of costumes. 3. They originated the idea of trick or treating. 4. On this day human sacrifices were made by the druids. Christians should have no part with this "harmless" Satanic celebration that is of demonic origin! See 2 Kings 17:8-11; 2 Chronicles 33:2. This is one of the "harmless" practices Christians have become involved in. When the church sanctifies itself and separates itself unto the Lord, it will depart from all heathen practices and celebrations. God's people will denounce and ignore any practice of heathen origin. God made parents Origin Evil intelligent for such good reasons as this. A Christian religion of our own liking means we can do as we like. Christians who seek to be holy, seek to be set apart as the Lord commands. See Holy; Sanctification; I Chronicles 15:12. 20:3 I BESEECH THEE, O LORD, REMEMBER NOW HOW I HAVE WALKED BEFORE THEE IN TRUTH AND WITH A PERFECT HEART, AND HAVE DONE THAT WHICH IS GOOD IN THY SIGHT. AND HEZEKIAH WEPT SORE. How quickly God acknowledged the tears of this weeping King who cried out to Him. Why? Look at his character qualities! 1) I have walked before thee; 2) In truth; 3) With a perfect heart; 4) Good scriptural conduct; and 5) Brokenness, "and Hezekiah wept sore."
