    Jezebel was an old testament (or Torah) wife of one of the Jewish kings back in the day. She was tossed out a window for “leading people away from Yahweh” which is usually code for encouraging people to worship one of the other regional deities of the Levant such as Enki.
    Later on, her name was used to disparage female fortune tellers in the Book of Revelation. Nowadays calling a woman Jezebel is a polite way of saying she’s a slut.

      Thanks for the explanation! I was confused who is the good guy and who is the bad guy here, I knew MTG has said negative things in the past, but your explanation makes it much clearer.
