Herod: The King Who Tried to Kill the Messiah

Herod: The King Who Tried to Kill the Messiah By the time Jesus was born, Judea was already ruled by one of the most feared men in the ancient world. Herod the Great was a political genius, a master builder, and a ruthless king backed by Rome. He rebuilt the Temple, transformed Judea with massive construction projects, and secured power through fear, suspicion, and violence. Ancient historians describe a ruler so paranoid he executed members of his own family to protect his throne. Then came rumors of a child born in Bethlehem… a child called “King of the Jews.” This video explores the real story of Herod the Great, the historical world surrounding the birth of Jesus, the massacre account in Bethlehem, and why Herod became one of the darkest figures connected to the New Testament. #biblestudy #thebible #Herod #BibleMystery #BiblicalHistory #Jesus #BibleDocumentary
