Kill Elijah, or Be Fed to the Dogs! Here is Jezebel's Channelled Message to the Ages


Now then, darlings, what do you think of when you hear my name, Jezebel? Royal whore? Killer of prophets? Seducer of priests?

Well, your Bible writers have certainly done their hatchet job on me, haven't they? For three millennia, their slanders have persisted. Meanwhile, they have fawned on Elijah's reputation, that uncouth and foul-mouthed prophet who condemned me to be dogs' meat. And they have revered his equally loathsome offspring, Elisha.

Do you not see I was a virgin bride brought to Israel and sold for political convenience to a foreign king? That it was I who championed religious tolerance in a time of absolutism? Yes, I had to get rid of some troublesome men of God along the way, along with a stubborn wine producer, but in all this I did only what a queen must do to protect herself, to safeguard her family and the royal line.

And to prove my story is wholly without bias, I have enlisted a fanboy of Elijah to write it, one A. LeRoy, a man so enamoured with that fire-and-brimstone prophet as to write an epic poem about him, and in it to say some terribly insulting things about me!

But here in this scroll I have channeled to him and, darling boy, he has proved a more than willing instrument, wholly satisfactory in the overflow of his pen. For what man can resist the sensuous assault of fair Jezebel? Here, then, is our co-creation, the outpouring of our labours, the fruit of our loving seed.

Yours,
