Just a thought: how many of those who say God never uses physical chastening to discipline his children would advocate the use of corporal punishment in the bringing up of human children?

Here - direct statement that God will act against a person. Admittedly the person is not a Christian.Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
God states flatly that he will act against this "Jezebel" AND ALL WHO COMMIT ADULTERY WITH HER. Who commits adultery with her? God's servants. Even if we pretend that this "Jezebel" had never been Christian, the fact remains that the people with her are identified as God's servants.thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts
