Biblical Counsel on Acquiring Real Estate. Part [11] 02/20/2026 (Morning thought)

1st Kings 21:8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

In the Bible, God forbids His people to use fear and intimidation tactics to deprive peoples or nations of their real estate except in those instances when God as the rightful owner of all real estate directed them to go and take possession. It's important for us to see the end of this movie, as Jezebel goes to work using her clandestine ways and means to procure by force, the real estate that does not belong to her.

She is willing to kill for real estate, and as she does so, the acolytes and altar boys who are unprincipled yes men, won’t say a single word in remonstrance. A Yes Man is one of the most dangerous people on our planet, for they will stop at nothing, they would sacrifice scruples, principles, and conscience on the altar of curry favor with persons in authority, or with those whom they seek favors from.

If they are willing to kill for real estate, if they do not remonstrate against her proposals, then they would be just as guilty as her for carrying out her diabolical plan. In fact, God views the perpetrators, and aiders and abettors as being equally guilty where crimes of covetousness, including real estate, are fostered and committed.

1st Kings 21:9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
