Story Of Herod, 3 WISEMEN, Saviour: Part 2 | THE MASSACRE BEGINS

The Christmas story isn't a fairy tale. It’s a political assassination attempt that failed. Discover the dark true crime story behind the Massacre of the Innocents. We think of the Nativity as a time of peace, but history tells a different story. In this episode, we open the "Cold Case Files" of Matthew Chapter 2 to investigate The Herod Conspiracy. King Herod the Great wasn't just a biblical villain; he was a real-life paranoid tyrant who murdered his own wife and sons to keep his throne. When a group of foreign intelligence agents (the Magi) arrived in Jerusalem asking for a "rival king," they triggered one of the most brutal manhunts in ancient history. From the spy games in Herod's palace to the tragic slaughter in Bethlehem, witness the First Christmas as it actually happened: a high-stakes political thriller. Most history books skip over the brutality of First-Century Judea. Does knowing the true danger of the Nativity change how you see the story? QUESTION: Do you believe the "Star of Bethlehem" was a supernatural event or an astrological alignment interpreted by the Magi? Let me know your theory in the COMMENTS below.
