How Come The Dogs Didn't Or Couldn't Eat Jezebel's Hands, Head And Feet? by MuttleyLaff: 10:14pm On Mar 25, 2016
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying,
The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

- 1 Kings 21:23

30Then Jehu went to Jezreel.
When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup, arranged her hair and looked out of a window.

31As Jehu entered the gate, she asked,
“Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
32He looked up at the window and called out,
“Who is on my side? Who?”
Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33“Throw her down!” Jehu said.
So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot
.
34Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of that cursed woman,” he said,
“and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.”
35But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands.
36They went back and told Jehu, who said,
“This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite:
On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs will devour Jezebel’s flesh.
37Jezebel’s body will be like dung on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’ ”
2 Kings 9:30-37

Why didn't or couldn't the dogs eat Jezebel's hands, head and feet?
Keeping in mind, this is Calvary/Easter period, what is the spiritual significance and/or spiritual parallel in the Bible?

I think the remains of jezebel's hands and feet was like a proof to the fulfilment of Elijah's prophesy concerning her to those that threw her down. just as Christ's hands and feet were a sign to the doubting disciples that the prophesy concerning his death and resurrection had come to pass. In Luke 24:39, Christ was showing them his hands and feet, serving as a confirmation to the fact that he was the same one who was crucified and is alive. I don't really know about the skull but it should align with the significance of the hands and feet.


Oga MuttleyLaff, kindly help out sir.

THE DOGS THAT ATE JEZEBELS FRESH DID NOT EAT HER FEET AND PALMS OF HER HANDS BECAUSE SHE WAS PUTTING ON ARTIFICIAL NAILS ON THEM, AND HER SKULL WAS SPARED ALSO BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF PAINTING SHE APPLIED ON THEM. JEZEBEL WAS THE WOMAN THAT INTRODUCED PAINTING OF THE BODY PARTS. IF DOGS SHOULD FORBID EATING SUCH PARTS, THIS SHOULD POINT TO YOU THAT PAINTING OF FACE AND NAILS IS AN ABOMINATION. IT IS MEANT FOR THOSE THAT ARE SPOILT (JEREMIAH 4:30).

I don’t like when I give long responses; but it is inevitable here. I’m sorry for taking your time.

I think the answer to your question is idiosyncratic to you; and if I get your answer, it doesn’t mean our deduction is universal; I’m sure you have read that the mystery of Jezebel’s dismemberment has baffled many for centuries or more.

Your question - what is the spiritual significance and parallel of Jezebel’s death and Jesus’ death, is repulsive (I mean no disrespect, sir. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness?) Didn’t you say I should keep Calvary in mind?

Elijah prophesied the death of Ahab and his wife in ghastly details; The account says, They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood. (1 Kings 22:38). They went to bury her, but they found nothing more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. (2 Kings 9:35). Through these details, the writer gives how Elijah’s prophecy came to pass and also the notion of the retributive justice of Jehovah.

Ahab’s body isn’t mutilated but Jezebel’s is. Jezebel is directly involved in Naboth’s demise; Ahab is indirectly involved (by complicity in silence). As Naboth’s body was mangled, so was her’s. As a result of Ahab’s (indirect) complicity, the dogs lick his blood not directly from his body but from the chariot where he gave up the ghost.

Naboth’s death sentence by Jezebel’s hand is similar to that of Christ: the Law was twisted; for Naboth’s it was blasphemy against the King (punishable by death); for Christ Jesus, it was execution by treason (under the Roman Law) - He claimed to be a Messiah King.

After Jezebel’s dismemberment by dogs, what was left were:

1. Her skull.
2. Her palms.
3. Her feet.

The only parallelism that exists in the scriptures with regards to Jezebel’s death is the remains of the destruction of Dagon’s graven image:

1. It’s fall.
2. The severance of its head and palms from its trunk.
3. Similar contemptuousness of the phrase employed by the writer to describe their dismemberment.

If there is any spiritual meaning to the dismemberment of Dagon and Jezebel, it would be to show all saints that they should be confident that they day of triumph approaches; for as Matthew Henry said, The kingdom of Satan will certainly fall before the kingdom of Christ, error before truth, profaneness before godliness, and corruption before grace in the hearts of the faithful.

However, is there a parallel between Jezebel’s mode of death and Jesus’? God forbid.

Jesus’ head was impaled by thorns; His hands and feet were pierced with nails. But His body was not dismembered as the scriptures said: He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken. (Psa.34:20, John 19:33). Instead of falling, He is lifted up. If this is the case, Jesus’ death is antithetical to Jezebel’s;

Jezebel and Dagon are symbols of iniquity and their dismemberment points to Jehovah’s triumph; then (man’s) iniquity laid upon Christ was a symbol of righteousness and the preservation of His bones the effect of God’s promise.

In the biblical sense, dogs are unclean animals; but the term “dogs” is also used to describe religious ‘prostitutes’ (those given to syncretism) and evildoers. The word “eat” means “to believe”. In the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, we are told that the dogs licked Lazarus’ sore (but didn’t devour his flesh); It could be said those who were religiously syncretic would only acknowledge his teaching but they would not believe it. Biblically, “flesh” or “meat” means “teaching” or “doctrine“. When a dog licks food it is meant to devour, it means it detests such food. In Jezebel’s case, they eat the flesh of the head leaving behind the skull.

Her head or mind with which she established Ba’al worship and teaching in Israel was attractive to dogs but its bone was repulsive. The word “bone” signifiies deep truths or depth. Do you remember the “vision of dry bones in the valley” by Ezekiel? It was a picturesque revelation of Israel’s hopelessness. Jezebel’s doctrine was superficial, to say the least; her religion had hopelessness at its core.

Her palms, with which she signed, solicited the cooperation of false witnesses, and falsified documents with orders to commit judicial murder against a righteous man: If the hands are the symbol of man’s activity, then Jezebel’s palms reveals how hard she worked to slay the righteous. Even the dogs found her endless endeavor against the innocent repulsive.

The feet by which she led the northern tribes into the grooves of Ba’al led her soldiers to hunt down God’s prophets were left alone by the dogs because her feet that was swift in running to mischief was abominable.

The account of Jezebel’s life is short, but they are synonymous to her remains: the skull - nothing is said about the deep things of her religion; the palms - her unrighteous endeavor is well documented; and the feet - where she came from and how she walked the face of the earth is renowned. (If there is any parallel with Christ, it is that the palms and feet testifies of their lives. For Christ, they show the extent of His love; and that He died and resurrected in bodily form).

If Lazarus is an antitype of Christ, the blood from his sores are repulsive to dogs; the vile intention of dogs towards him would be futile- When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.

(If there is any parallel with Christ, it is that the palms and feet testifies of their lives. For Christ, they show the extent of His love; and that He died and resurrected in bodily form).

If Lazarus is an antitype of Christ, the blood from his sores are repulsive to dogs; the vile intention of dogs towards him would be futile- When evildoers came against me to devour my flesh, my foes and my enemies stumbled and fell.
Tbh, I dont know what your game plan is or what really was your reason for coming to do this mystery question, but I can tell you for free, that you successfully deviated from answering the easy, simple, straightforward and direct question.

You totally went off tangent and stopped completely from answering:
"Why didn't or couldn't the dogs eat Jezebel's hands, head and feet?
Keeping in mind, this is Calvary/Easter period, what is the spiritual significance and/or spiritual parallel in the Bible?
"

I've literally used a magnifying glass, to go over your post, just to be sure I havent missed where you might have left or dropped off, your answer to the simple unambiguous "why.." question, but alas, still nada. Smh, what I did stumble upon though, in the haystack of it all, were cushioned veiled harsh, derisive snarky remarks, but its all good, as its impossible to have a picnic without having pesky ants, crawl in, looking for sugar or whatnot, lol. I sensed you from having and/or hold a grudge, selectively jumped on this thread, to have it in for me, lol. Yeah, call me paranoid, lol

I’m sorry for the difficultly my response caused you. I have just realized that I have a big flaw (which has not refused to leave me for many years);

In primary school, I drew a lot and made quite a number of comics. After school hours while waiting to be picked up, I’d play, and when there was no one to play with, I’ll look for books other pupils left behind. By the time they returned the next day, they’d find that their 80 leaves books had been reduced to 20 leaves: I used the empty pages to make comics of Judge Dred, The Punisher, Superman, the Penalty shootout between Cameroon and England etc.

A few months ago, I attended a (new) church and a Q&A session was in progress; it was coordinated by the church pastor. (The congregation was split in two groups, and candies were given to those who answered correctly). A little while into the session, he asked my group: “What does suffering achieve for a child of God?”. For about 15 seconds no one raised a finger to make an attempt to answer the question; then I raised my hands and said: “Suffering produces character in a child of God”. The pastor pondered about my response; mumbled with muffled sounds with his body vacillating, for about a minute while the church waited for his verdict. Then he said, “not correct. Group A who can give an answer”. I was chuffed. I waited till the service was over and approached him: I said: “Sir, I am correct, but you said I am wrong. This is what the Bible says in Romans 5:4 in the NIV”. “In this church we don’t use any other version than the King James Version”, He retorted. He went to the pulpit, and returned with a big Bible. He put on his “magnifying glass” and he checked my reference - Romans 5:4, and it read “experience” instead of “character”. “It says ‘experience’. In this church, we don’t use any other version than the King James Version”, he retorted while looking into my eyes. Someone called out to him and he requested that I waited for him so that he may attend to the church member who sought his presence. After he was through with that business, he walked towards the pulpit and returned with the New Year’s calendar and a picture of the Holy Bible with a bold inscription: KJV, printed on it. “You see”, he said with a tone of conviction. “Yes”, I replied. He gave me the calendar and I departed for my house.

My intention was not sinister but I hope my primary school narrative would reveal the true picture. (I had one of my favorite songs, Madonna’s Frozen, playing in head while typing this).

Have a nice day. Be safe.

Your response caused me no difficulties at all. Maybe it was me imagining seeing some underlining interjected antagonistic remarks, but anyway, it doesnt matter, so I am not fazed, lol. We are afterall work in progress, and not in the real sense of it, the finished article, yet, lol. We are image, the likeness part, is continuum, lol. Dont worry, you'll get the "continuum", later, lol

Thought it is Dredd and not Dred

You are actually 100% correct in your answer to that monumental arrogant pastor about: "... Suffering produces character ..."

Acehart, I think you know your snakes from your salamanders, lol, and because of that , I am going to clear you, on something that lends weight to what you said concerning "... Suffering produces character ..." lol. You see, Adam and Eve (i.e. A&E), started in the garden of Eden with no character whatsoever, you could say without any essential firsthand experience, lol. Yup A&E were a pair of blank slates. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (i.e. TKGE) was placed in their in the middle of Eden, so that as they suffer the TKGE, they'll develop character and/or experience, lol. In fact, it doesnt matter however way, manner and/or time, lol, they suffered the TKGE, they will develop character and/or experience. It is a sure banker, even the name of the tree, is self-fulfilling and self prophesying statement, lol, telling you what you see, is what you'll get, lol, so whether you eat or not, you will over time, develop or build character and/or have experience.

A&E, impatiently jumped the gun, subjected themselves to TKGE, the wrong way, the wrong time and wronged God when they gave in to having some of the TKGE, lol. Let me break it down a little bit, lol so to get a better and clearer perspective, lol. A rock pelted with alternating and successive rain, sunshine, gusty debris wind etcetera subjected to knocks and hit, suffering all sorts of weather, over time develops a unique character

What does suffering achieve for a child of God?” that was the question. Well, whether animate or inanimate object, just as you told the pastor, it produces charater. Case in point. Pull out two different $10, ₦100 or £10 banknotes and compare them, you'll notice because they've suffered so many changing hands, have developed particular characteristics peculiar to only them each, lol

Water under bridge. Water on a duck's back. Oin. Leave that one ojaare for LAWMA, lol.

I found it to a certain degree enjoyingly interesting to read, my only reservation, is you still didnt anywhere in it again answer the question. You, again totally went off tangent and rabbitted on, about everything else except give the answer to:
"Why didn't or couldn't the dogs eat Jezebel's hands, head and feet?
Keeping in mind, this is Calvary/Easter period, what is the spiritual significance and/or spiritual parallel in the Bible?

These are the type of responses I expected from you because I think you are intelligent and you also have the humor of a short man, lol. I wanted to learn from you but as Madonna sang, “You want to see what your eyes want to see”.

I actually feel like taking your response as my gift and not bother about the question anymore. (If I took the calendar gift from an arrogant man without throwing it away, your reply is much better and it deserves to be cherished).

I answered the question in my first response. Your magnifying glass was foggy. Lol. Thank God, the heat of the Sun has made them clearer. (Please don’t go back to read it).

Dredd (Yes! Judge Dredd. Thank you), Super Ted, Birdman etc. Their books would be meaningless (forever) after the term; but I’ll keep my comics till a silverfish destroys them.

Thank you.
