The Holy Bible and the Treatment of Women in Times of War and Armed Conflict

The killing and extermination of the women of Tyre by order of Jehovah / the crucified Jesus:

We read from the Holy Bible :

Ezekiel 26:1-9

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying
, Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Alas! the gates of the people are broken; they are turned against me; I am filled, for she is laid waste.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea raises its waves.
They will break down the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will sweep away her dust from her and make her like a rock,
and she will be a place for spreading nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD. And she will become a prey to the nations.
And her daughters who are in the field shall be put to the sword, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
“For thus says the Lord GOD : Behold, I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the north, king of kings, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and with a company, and with much people. And he
will slay your daughters in the field with the sword , and build strongholds against you, and build a tower against you, and set up a bulwark against you, and raise up a shield against you, and set up a shield against you. He will set up engines on your walls, and will break down your towers with his weapons of war.


From the Christian interpretations we read:

quote:

Interpretation of the Holy Bible - The Church Encyclopedia for Interpreting the Old Testament: St. Mark's Church in Heliopolis, v. 6: God also declares that the daughters of Tyre will be killed by the sword, meaning: the inhabitants of Tyre who were in the surrounding fields. The neighboring countries that Tyre established, and which she tended and lived on from its trade. By destroying Tyre and all who followed her, the whole world and the rest of Tyre will know that the word of God through the mouth of Ezekiel has been fulfilled ; perhaps this will call them to faith.

quote:

William MacDonald, Emmaus Bible Institute Ezekiel 26:3-11 God will use many nations to discipline this city. The prophecies of vv. 4-6 have been literally fulfilled. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, king of kings********, first marched his armies toward Tyre from the north and attacked it (vv. 7-11). The siege was very long—from about 587 B.C. to 574 B.C. Feinberg gives a vivid picture of the type of siege this famous city endured: Fortifications, ramparts, and armor were all familiar features of warfare. A shield, armor, or covering was used to protect against missiles fired from the walls. The battering rams were metal ibex that were employed to cause breaches in the walls. His tools of war, literally swords, were used as a metaphor for all weapons of war. Some consider the first part of v. 10 an exaggerated comparison, but it is not beyond the scope of literal completion. Because of the great mass of enemy cavalry, they will cover the city with dust as soon as they enter it, and at the same time the walls will shake with the noise of the horsemen and chariots. Every street will be plundered and the people will be slaughtered with the sword. The columns referred to are indeed obelisks, and may be those mentioned by the historian Herodotus as the columns erected in the temple of Hercules at Tyre. One was of gold and the other of emerald, and shone brilliantly at night, and was dedicated to Melkarth (i.e., the king of the earth), the god of Tyre (cf. 1 Kings 7:15). These dazzling columns will be destroyed by the conqueror. [Footer] ******** Nebuchadnezzar earned this title because he forced many other kings to submit to his authority.

The killing of Jezebel and the mutilation of her body
From the same book we also read:
2 Kings 9:30-37
Then Jehu came to Jezreel. And when Jezebel heard, she painted her eyes with kohl, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window. And
when Jehu entered the gate, she said, “Is Zimri, who killed his master, well?”
And he lifted up his face toward the window, and said, “Who is with me? Who?” Then two or three eunuchs looked down upon him.
He said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood ran down the wall and onto the horses, which trampled her.
Then he went in and ate and drank, and said, “Search for this cursed woman and bury her, for she is the daughter of a king.”
When they went to bury her, they found nothing of her except the skull, the feet, and the palms of the hands.
And they returned and told him, and he said, “ This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘ In the field of Jezreel
the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel, and the carcass of Jezebel shall be like dung on the face of the field in Jezreel’s portion, so that they will not say, ‘This is Jezebel.’

”

quote:

William MacDonald, Emmaus Bible Institute 2 Kings 9:30-37 When Jehu arrived at the city of Jezreel itself, Jezebel mocked him, crying out, “Is peace for Zimri, the murderer of his master?” Zimri, too, had become king of Israel by assassinating his master, but he had enjoyed everything but peace. His aborted military coup lasted only seven days (1 Kings 16:9-19). Jezebel’s words to Jehu meant that his rebellion would not last long. Two of the palace eunuchs proved their loyalty to Jehu by throwing Jezebel out of a window , and her blood ran down the wall and onto the horses, who trampled on her. The dogs ate Jezebel’s body, fulfilling 1 Kings 21:23, except for her skull, feet, and palms. Campbell Morgan comments: The dogs refused to eat the skull, hands, and feet that thought and carried out these evils, and their memory was buried in the graves of oblivion.

The Lord of the Church commands the Prophet Moses to kill and exterminate every single soul of the Midianites!

Numbers 31

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the children of Israel, and then you will be gathered to your people.”


Of course, the captive women were no exception!

And this was their fate!

Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds who had come from the army of war.
And Moses said to them, “Have you spared every female alive? These were the cause of treason
to the children of Israel, according to the word of Balaam, in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and every woman who has known a man by lying with a man, kill her .



The Lord of the Church commands that the hair of the captive woman be shaved and that she be thrown into a bucket if she does not please her captor and humiliate her after he enjoyed her and had his fill of her!

Deuteronomy 21:10-14

“When you go out to fight against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand, and you take some of them captive ,
and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you cling to her and take her to be your wife,
then when you bring her into your house , she shall shave her head, and she shall cut her nails,
and she shall strip off the clothing of her captivity from her, and she shall sit in your house and weep for her father. And her mother for a month, then after that you go in to her and marry her, and she will be your wife.
And if you are not pleased with her, then divorce her for herself. Do not sell her for silver, and do not enslave her because you have humiliated her .



The (divine) command above to shave the heads of the captive women strangely reminds me of what France and Holland did at the end of their war against the German Third Reich army!

In a related context,

Joshua 6:21,
they killed with the sword, for the honor of the Lord, all the men, women, children, and elderly in the city, even the cattle, sheep, and donkeys.



How similar today is 

History repeats itself, gentlemen!



The terrorist "Ezra Yachin", a member of the "Stern" gang, calls for the annihilation of the Arabs and the literal uprooting of their seed !

The terrorist "Ezra Yachin" based his call on the biblical prophecies contained between the covers of his holy book!
