Catch The Vision (2013 #2) talks about how Elijah "didn't even back down from the painted-faced queen of Israel." | [[Voice of God Recordings]] (VoGR) in their "Catch The Vision" newsletter (CTV 2013 #2) talks about how Elijah "didn't even back down from the painted-faced queen of Israel." Because Joseph Branham is the president of VoGR, we can assume that the statements contained in CTV represent his beliefs. | ||
First of all, | First of all, does VoGR and Joseph Branham know the Bible at all? Did William Branham know the Bible? | ||
Did Elijah | Did Elijah back down from Jezebel or not? | ||

In 1 Kings we read: | |||
:''Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. | :''Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. | ||

:''But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. tAnd he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), 1 Kings 19:1–4.</ref> | :''But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. tAnd he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), 1 Kings 19:1–4.</ref> | ||
It is obvious that Elijah RAN from Jezebel, | It is obvious that Elijah RAN from Jezebel, '''but in fact, he never even met her.''' | ||
VoGR goes on to talk about Elijah being a man of the wilderness, performed miracles, prophesied, healed the sick, stood against denominational systems, and they say Elijah preached against women painting their faces. | |||
Did Elijah stand against denominational systems? '''Or, was he standing against Ba'al worship and idolatry?''' | |||
Did Elijah preach against painted faced women anywhere in the Bible? '''NO!''' | |||
VoGR then states: | |||
:''"It's pretty obvious who Brother William Marrion Branham was." | |||
Really? We know who VoGR thinks that William Branham is but from the Bible it is obvious that he is not who they think he is. Have you checked your Bible yet? | |||
Did you know that there is no record anywhere in the Bible of Jezebel being a harlot, a prostitute, or an adulterer? Did you know that she was a very powerful queen who was into Ba'al worship and tried to destroy Israel with it? | |||
Did you know | Did you know she was an old woman the day she died, with her make up on? Did you know she never tried to seduce Jehu the day he came to kill her as William Branham wanted you to think? | ||
In Second Kings we read: | |||
:''When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. And she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out of the window. And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, “Is it peace, you Zimri, murderer of your master?” And he lifted up his face to the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him. He said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down. And some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled on her. Then he went in and ate and drank. | :''When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. And she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out of the window.

:''And he said, “See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter.” But when they went to bury her, they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. When they came back and told him, he said, “This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘In the territory of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel, and the corpse of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the territory of Jezreel, so that no one can say, This is Jezebel.’ ” <ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), 2 Ki 9:30–37.</ref> | :''And he said, “See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter.” But when they went to bury her, they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.

Do you know the story of Jezebel? Was she fed to the dogs for painting her eyes and adorning her head? Is this what you have been taught? Did you know | Do you know the story of Jezebel?

When | When VoGR speaks of miracles, prophecies and healings, did they forget this scripture as well? | ||
:''“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Mt 7:21–23.</ref> | :''“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
