MCF is throwing another blog part<\/a>y and since I haven’t
\nparticipated in any for quite a while I decided to bring another bit of my own
\nstuff. I will surely be late and (once again) no one will bother tasting
\nit—much less look at it—but so what. I’ll go, wanna join me?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’re being told to bring lady friends to MCF’s party.
\nSounding the lonely sort I felt obliged to comply. The lady’s I’m bringing may
\nnot all be classified as “friends” though. I mean, some of them are downright
\nvicious.<\/p>\n

Jezebel<\/strong>
\nBad, evil woman. So bad that her name becomes the symbol of
\nspiritual prostitution throughout the Bible. This woman, daughter of Israelite
\nenemies, was courted and wedded to Ahab—the very King of Israel. This woman
\nbrought with her several pagan practices that her husband quickly espoused and propagated.
\nShe ordered the slaying of all the prophets of God and put her false prophets
\nin place. This woman had no problem wearing the signet ring (and the pants) of
\nher husbands home at one point taking matters into her own hand and writing
\nElijah a personal execution notice. He took the matter to heart and ran. Bad
\nwoman.  {{1 Kings 16 – 21}}; {{2 Kings
\n9}}; {{Rev 2:20}}<\/p>\n

Deborah<\/strong>
\nShe didn’t raise the sword as she judged Israel from beneath her tree…but
\nwhen push came to shove she made sure to light a fire underneath Barak’s rear.
\nThere he was hiding up in the mountains with his army and she told him to go
\ntake what the Lord has promised them—victory! The man was quite the coward and
\nhad only gone that far because she went with him, but nevertheless when the
\nLord came and caused a flash flood to happen in the valley below Barak led the
\ncharge down the hill to finish wiping up the mess. Ah, but his cowardice wound
\nup giving him a bitter-sweet victory. He would not slay his enemy…that pearl
\ngoes to Jael. {{Judges 4 – 5}}<\/p>\n

Jael<\/strong>
\nThe first woman to receive the title “blessed are you among
\nwomen”. When a certain gentile by the name of Sisera came knocking on her tent
\nafter fleeing a battle she had a tough choice. Either she refuses him and winds
\nup a head shorter or she lets him in and has her husband find a strange gentile
\nman in her tent. She decides to employ her womanly wiles to let him in, offer
\nhim butter cream and milk on a golden saucer and even a place to rest his head.
\nTired from the battle, the general eats his food and falls asleep with thoughts
\nof personal survival running through his head. Taking a tent peg and placing it
\non his temple she did what women did best (assure the stability of the home)
\nand drove the peg through his temple and into the floor putting an end to the
\nthoughts of his head. {{Judges 4 – 5}}.<\/p>\n

These ladies are pretty tough and they are real. I had
\nbetter bring some fictional ladies to make some of my guests not as stone faced
\nor pragmatic.<\/p>\n

Death<\/strong>
\nObject of Thanos’ desire. She sometimes appears in a very
\nbeautiful form and at other times she looks a bit like a fashion model—skeletal<\/a>.
\nStill all the Marvel characters eventually meet her. Sometimes even multiple
\ntimes when ratings are low.<\/p>\n

Dark Phoenix<\/strong>

\n‘nuff<\/a> said.<\/a><\/p>\n
