people in the Bible: Herod the Great

people in the Bible: Herod the Great by ric Gustafson


The Roman Senate appointed Herod the Great in 40 BC. He was a fighter, a diplomat and ruthless. He rebuilt the Temple in Jerusalem. Wise men came according to Matthew 2 asking where the King of the Jews had been born. Herod became worried. He was told that the Savior and Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Herod put to death all the male children from two years old and younger hoping to kill Jesus.
Herod the Great did not succeed with his evil plan. God is in control and he will prevail. You can count on that.
