Why Herod Killed John the Baptist: The Mark Series pt 20 (
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 08. 2024
- A study on the tragic end of John the Baptist. This is the only passage in Mark that isn't directly about Jesus and it records the sad reality of how pride, corruption and lust lead to the murder of John the Baptist. In addition to the discussion on what lead to John's murder under the orders of Herod we will also get into some apologetics issues surrounding the death of John that skeptics bring up, which actually give us more reason to trust what Mark says.
Here's the video I mentioned from Inspiring Philosophy on the topic of supposed contradictions in the death of John the Baptist. • John the Baptist Blund...

Sin can devastate your life, pride can lock you in it.
If only I could share God's teachings with my children as well as you share them with me pastor mike.
God bless.
I love how the subscribers are growing... Means more people are coming to encounter this sound teaching😭
I really appreciate your videos, Mike.
Mike’s videos do kinda rock, eh?
Great study, again! Lots of awesome “Wingerisms!”
“The glory of marriage is when you see the flaws and stick with it!”
“Sin isn’t getting more prevalent, it’s becoming normalized.”
"Sexual sin is the fall of great men.”
“Don’t quit. Don’t give up. Stop expecting it to work!”
(And words of the day: enemy attestation and contradiction.)
Thanks Brother!
Elizabeth S Amen 😀😀😀
Also, 'Jesus is the chameleon of religion'! 😉 Or Subway Jesus!! "Wingerisms" is a perfect word for some of Mike's creations! 😄

This series has been awesome and continues to deliver life changing content. We are so blessed to have this ministry available to us and I thank God for you all.
I was really encouraged by this one. Let’s not have a victim mentality but pray that if and when percussion does come that we will be ready to glorify God.
I just tried to explain the death of John the Baptist to my 10 year old grandsons... I did a horrible job... so I am listening to this message tonight, and will explain to them a much clearer picture of God’s heart on this matter tomorrow... thank you, Pastor Mike, for all you do, especially in this respect... I know how hard you work... much love from your sister in Maine. Please stay safe and well...
Amazing teaching.
God bless you Mike, lifting you up prayer that the good Lord keep you and bless you
LOVE that you're still pumping out sunday's
This is one of the most inspiring teachings I've heard in awhile. You had great passion while reading the scriptures. Thanks so much Mike.
I enjoy all of your teachings but for some reason this one hit me 'afresh'.
Herod sounds like Jeffrey Epstein and all his buddies.
All his buddies, you mean the Leaders of America? I mean bro even the churches and pastors don't believe the bible and are corrupted just as much as his buddies. This world is really really sick. A Mother murdering her own son and being okay with it... then telling her son that the Lord has a plan for you... dude, this world is sick... God needs to return so badly. Christianity has literally been corrupted so badly its now the way to murder people and get super rich. Its just a huge criminal funnel.
Oh yeah king herod was on Jeffrey epsteins flight log list, you didn't hear? Hahah
Right next to Joe biden
Thank you Mike for your candid raw truthful honesty. It’s about time someone in the Christian community pointed out that the Emperor has no clothes! Thanks so much for your clear biblical teaching. I’m getting so much out of this series!
Great teaching Mike! I like all the background stories and evidence of each verse. How it applied back in those days to how it applies today. I will keep watching!
Thank you for sharing these teaching videos here in CZcams! I have learned so much.
What a blessing this teaching has been for me. Praise God !
Pastor Mike, I thank God for your ministry and may he continue to bless it. ✝️
Religion as entertainment. Sobering thoughts. Thank you, Mike. I feel like I’ve walked into that trap. It’s easy for me to listen to my favorite type of preacher/preaching and enjoy how godly it sounds - and not have my heart moved one inch. I’ve been wary of that, but the way you pointed out that that’s a thing has prompted me to be more vigilant in my own spiritual life.
Thank you for sharing that balanced and biblical view of politics.
Thanks Mike for this study of Mark....it is a great blessing ...pray God's contiual blessing on your entire life .
Mike, I know you are the last person who would get puffed up, but o will say at times I wish I lived in or near Bellflower. I greatly enjoy and sm blessed by sound teaching. God bless you and yours
thanks for all your work here mike
I can’t thank you enough! Your sermons are so well researched and well presented, you give hard truth in a way that makes a person think, in a way that makes sense, and is so reasonable. I wish I had better words of praise. Most pastors give their opinions and philosophies on life and clip (usually out of context) verses that seemingly support what they want to say. (And this sickens me! I desire truth, not deception, no matter how “good” it sounds to the mass of itching ears.) But your goal is to share the truth, whatever that might be; and you flesh it out with details that help us understand better the reality, with layers of history. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless you and keep you going strong. In Jesus’ name, Amen. ❤️✝️
I So agree with this.
Happy 20/20 or 2020 😍😄😍

I enjoyed watching this, very clear and engaging !!🙌
I m loving these series...
Wonderful message, love your work Pastor Mike.
The story of John the baptist is so crazy. imagine his story if it were prior to Christ and it didn't seem to just fall flat (at the time as it did). He was truly blessed by God and now in hindsight we can see it. God bless you and your ministry, it is truly edifying
This contains a fantastic, refreshing analysis of the relationship between Christians and sinning civil rulers. Well done!
41:48 "The glory of marriage is when you see the flaws and stick with each other." Love it!
Thank you, Mike!!
Love your teaching, Mike. I especially appreciate the way you have navigated the putrid pit which is our political arena today. I have no great love for the Democratic Party, but what is sad is the amount of hatred I and others will receive when we call Republicans on the carpet for their wholly inadequate leadership, especially Donald Trump. He reminds me of Herod in so many ways, it's not funny, and the reactions of CHRISTIANS towards any criticism of him is sad, indeed! The rot and corruption that has been on full display by him and those around him...surely God cannot bless this! I fear a Democratic landslide in November that may "stabilize" things for a time, but will eventually lead to more moral decay, and it will be the fault--in great part--of evangelical Christians choosing a totally immoral reprobate as a figurehead, almost an idol, to place in such a high position as a "hero" of the faith. The man paid off a porn star to keep quiet about the affair they had while his wife was pregnant with his 3rd son, and continued paying her even after he was in office. And that's just ONE issue. Let that sink in. I will often look to Ezekiel 16 (would love to see you do a video just on this chapter!) and compare Jerusalem to Sodom (immorality)/Samaria (apostasy). In verses 49-51, God says,
"Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it. Samaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed."
If the Democratic, liberal wing of our country is Sodom/Samaria, I would submit that the Republican, conservative party of Trump is Jerusalem. Indeed, it will now be virtually impossible for the Republican Party to use character, personal morality, or ethical behavior as issues they can attack Joe Biden on, for the Republicans "have committed more abominations than (the Democrats), and have made (them) appear righteous by all the abominations that (they) have committed."
I don't know what the solution is. Perhaps we are at the end of the rope and we can "only" call for the church to repent. As I peter 4:17 says, "For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?" God help us. We don't need "national" revival, we need for the church to repent!
You duh Man Mike !! GREAT Teaching as always ..
Ty for your teachings
Great teaching tonight
And just like that I'm on to the next one be blessed Mike
Elijah faced Jezebel; John faced Herodias and her daughter. The parallels are so interesting.
So many transformational truths to think about in this discourse.
Interesting also that Herod the grandson beheaded apostle James.
@@larrysergent5478 I didn't know this. I'll research. But besides all the interesting historical facts the reality that Godly spirituality is so unlike prosperity teaching comes out clearly. It's a lot to think about.
Best sermon I have ever heard from a teacup...
Mike, you give such great explanations and view points. It definitely helped me learn more about God. Thank you for the work you do for the Lord. Its very rare now adays.
Knowledge is Power
25:00 Another potential source of inside information from Herod Antipas' court for the Gospel writers is mentioned by Luke in Acts 13. The chapter starts off with a list of Christian prophets and teachers at the church in Antioch. Barnabas and Saul/Paul are in the list, but one of the others is named Manaen, whom Luke describes as being raised with Herod the Tetrarch.
Thank you for a wonderful explanation of scripture
This one is hitting home.
Atheist magician... you were talking about Matt Dilahunty weren’t you? 🤣
The ending was epic, brought tears to my eyes.
There’s a character in a video game I play named Dirge and one of his lines of dialogue something like, “My name will be the last thing you hear before I put you in the ground.” I was so confused but that until I was studying the Bible one day and looked up the word dirge. Then it all made sense.
Remarkable and a story for reflection: Book of Maccabeans can't be prophesy because it itself says that prophesy has ceased. That is why this is one of the non canonical books that is historically acceptable and worth reading (though it s not Word of God).
Ending was really good stuff
Thankyou Mike😳😳😳😀😀😀😀
Happy New Year 2020 😄
This is the first thing I did in 2020.
Thanks for doing this...❤️❤️❤️🌲❤️❤️❤️❤️
Herod the Great tried to kill the infants in Jesus time.
A
Pointed 37 bc until 4 Ad.
Built Caesaria.
Herod built the Temple Mount, and this was second temple period..
Every other Herod was diminished.
Herod had 10 wives.
Herod Antipus was this Herod. Peoria and Galilee’s were his control.
He was Tetrarch, not a King.
It is personal, because he killed John.
Gospel of Luke, a woman named Johanna in Luke 8:3
...her husband is Herod Stewart.
Rulers and servants...
This comes from some guilt on Herod part...who started the rumor.
Vs 17 ...is the only story in Mark that is not directly about Jesus..
Thank you.
Awesome
New camera?? Looks good!
Wish I could find a mike clone over here and shake his hand on sundays lol
Heck, when I tell other Christian's remarriage while the other spouse is alive is adultery, they want to take my head. It not a secular issue.
That’s extremely legalistic. There are too many variables, and too many scriptures to claim that to be 💯 the case in every situation. I’m separated from my husband for the second time. He’s been caught flirting with other women.... and watching pornography... and potentially cheated physically at one point. I tried to salvage the marriage.... God has given me clear guidance to divorce him. So if I meet an actual believer who wants to worship God with me, and be obedient..... I’m committing adultery? Lol
Also let me add. We claimed we were Christian when we married... but nothing about our life mirrored Christianity... then I truly got saved, and began to walk away from my old ways.... my husband got worse and pulled hard in the opposite direction.... so I’m to stay with a cheating unbeliever.... or if we divorce and I find someone else... I’m committing adultery?
Or say after we divorce he finds God..... and I’m remarried to a believer.... and my ex repents and wants to walk with God.... he’s supposed to come back to me, and I leave my new spouse?? Lol
@@DreaPark calling it legalistic when you're using the law to justify adultery is oxymoron. Jesus said, very clearly, what God has joined together... let not any man separate,.. or they are accursed, also....remarriage is adultery when the other remains alive... and all adulterer's will be judged. ... how is it legalistic when I'm making the same argument Jesus made, and you're making the same argument the Pharisee's made?
@@DreaPark "God has given me clear guidance to divorce him." ... no, sorry, you're not listening because the same God does not act contrary to his word. He does not say commit adultery, and also say do not commit adultery.
@@DreaPark "so I’m to stay with a cheating unbeliever.... or if we divorce and I find someone else... I’m committing adultery? " ... if he leaves you for another woman, he burns in hell forever, if you do that, you burn. That is the spouse of your covenant presuming you were both in the same first marriage.
I have a question about what you said at 48:00 where you say "there is such a thing as different levels of sin, some sins are worse than others". Is this true? I have heard that all sin is equal in the eyes of God. Is what I've heard false? I've looked into it more as I write this comment, but still have no clear answer.
Hello Mr Winger.
I feel like the relationship between Herod and John is similar to the relationship between Zedekiah and Jeremiah in the Old Testament (as told in Jeremiah chapters 37 and 38). Jeremiah repeatedly gave Zedekiah the command from God to surrender to the invading Babylonian army, which is something that offender a bunch of Zedekiah's officers, who wanted to kill him for his predictions of Babylonian victory. Now Zedekiah did protect Jeremiah from his officials and even allowed him to preach directly to him in a similar manner that Herod allowed John to do. Yet similar to Herod, Zedekiah never accepted Jeremiah's message, even though he was totally okay with hearing it over and over.
Amen!!🙏🏽
I believe there is a parallel that seems to be missed concerning Herod and John the baptist with Felix and Paul (Acts 24:25). Both John and Paul spoke a message of righteousness, and both Herod and Felix were disturbed. Isn't this a common reaction today with unbelievers? Paul sums this up in 2 Corinthians 2:15-16, as Christians, we are a fragrance of life to other believers and death to unbelievers.
Question: When evangelizing, I have encountered a similar question posed to me. "Do you believe the Earth is 6,000 years old?" How do you answer this question? Even though I go to, "Evidence of Christ and His resurrection is the basis of belief. Not how old the world is." I seem to make little stride.
Drew Remsik reading the first chapter of Genesis, it’s impossible to explain. I found the best way to go is to show all the wrong science that has emerged over the years, beginning with a flat Earth. In the end, it all lands on faith cause we really can’t comprehend how God brought the universe into existence nor what time God did so (other than what is told to us in the Bible). I would also show how modern science has its own political agendas, for example gender dysphoria which is a mental disorder and is now praised and encouraged as “gender fluidity”.
There is a good movie with christen dunst. They send her to the door to check for Elijah and she finds herself in the holocaust. Can't remember the name of it. She did not believe in Judaism but her parents made her go to the family tradition. Called devils arithmetic.
i have a question, Herod is in the southern part of the kingdom at the time of Johns beheading, why would John be in prison in the southern part of the kingdom?
People were mean to me at my job because the devil sent them to torment me. I can say that because I didn't do anything to provoke them. So, that's not a "persecution complex" or "victim mentality". Now, if I were being a jerk to them, then it would be my fault, and they would be treating me as my sins deserve.
Please make videos about repenting of your sins
For one of your next Q & A blogs: I am confused about Archangels. Did God create them with free will? Why would God create Lucifer, knowing how evil he would become?
@Desire Of All Nations Thank you. I also need to remind myself of how Supreme God is. His ways are unfathomable at times, but His love for us is beyond description.
How did the angels fall if not for the ability to freely choose? Did God make them fall? Is that something God would do? Why did God create you knowing how evil you would be?
Watching this in 2023... yes Mike the lack of Godliness in the white house is awful, and has gotten worse. Much worse.
I don’t follow the logic behind affirming that the author of Maccabees completely affirmed the prophecy had ceased “forever“. To me, it is simply speaking of the great time between. And in a sense Israel was spiritually dead until Christ breathed life into them
people love darkness rather then light
The axe was set.
Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Mat 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
John predicted the destruction of that generation before Jesus did in Matthew 21:43 before the kingdom was given to another nation. I never caught that before until today. The word of God has come alive since I got out of the pre-trib rapture/dispensational paradigm.
Next time someone says don’t judge me say I’m only accusing you, God is the judge! After their rant just respond that it’s no longer your problem and be polite I guess.
I tell them I'm using discernment.
Christians should start referring to Passover and Resurrection, not Easter. The KJV is the only Bible that uses the word "Easter" and it was corrected in the NKJV. The KJV translates the exact same Greek word as "Passover" everywhere else.
Mike can you do a video on all the sandwiches in Mark. Looks like you missed this one.
Thank You for your ministry Mike. God bless you . ❤ from India
The problem is that today most churches are happy to offer a "pick and mix" Christianity that won't offend anyone.
So do all futurist believe that there will be a second coming of John the Baptist as well as Jesus? Or Will there be another like John the Baptist who works with the spirit of Elijah?
Look into the postponement theory. Elijah will come before Christ's 2nd coming. Interesting stuff!

Awesome
Thx.
Plumb means vertically level.
Or maybe, parallel with the direction of gravity.
Mike. Have you considered Ecclesiastes 1:9 and the fact that just as Elijah's life was wanted by the wicked king Ahab's wife Jezebel, just so the wicked king Herod's wife seeked the life of John (who had the spirit of Elijah). This is Midrash. Look at Elijah as John and Elisha as Jesus and you see wonderful pictures of Christ. For example the dead body touched the dead body of Elisha and lived, we die with Jesus and live. And many many more

Sin on both sides of politics
I look at President Trump and see the flaws in Presbyterian teaching or Catholicism or whomever progressive was teaching, the disobedience of church leads to bad teaching.😣
It is in the wisdom your right. Herod knew John was worth more than half of his kingdom for by his wisdom he could gain thrice that back. It comes with fearing the LORD the most, it's in the wisdom books Ben Sira and Solomon. Herod wanted John's wisdom for his outside show but wouldnt do it himself, and so GOD being jealous woulnt let that happen. Using all things for the good
When he mentions liberal theologians...is Tim Mackie in that category? From the Bible Project?
I wonder what was meant by "John was not the light, the light was coming into the world."
John and Jesus were already 30 years old, but the light was "coming" into the world. ??? Hmm.
Perhaps from birth to year 30 Jesus didn't consider himself living in man's world?
Or
Coming into the world meant 'He's getting ready to be the example for the world'.
"The spirit, as a dove, came down and remained on Jesus", The Spirit & Jesus became one. No, It can't be that, became the light after they became one, can't be.
Or maybe maybe thats when Jesus became Papa's second born.
"John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'"(John 1:15)
I agree that pornography and sexual sin is a serious problem of men. But to assume women are somehow free of this problem and completely innocent is also not right. Everything we do and have ever done on the internet is being carefully documented by Google.

Undesigned coincidence Luke 8:3
Where Joanna was probably the source of Mark 6:16..
Here is commentary on Luke 8.
This Mary Magdalene was attending on Christ’s cross and his sepulchre, and, if she was not Mary the sister of Lazarus, either that particular friend and favourite of Christ’s did not attend then, or the evangelists did not take notice of her, neither of which we can suppose; thus Dr. Lightfoot argues. Yet there is this to be objected against it that Mary Magdalene is reckoned among the women that followed Jesus from Galilee (Mt. 27:55, Mt. 27:56 ); whereas Mary the sister of Lazarus had her residence in Bethany.
3. Another of them was Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward. She had been his wife (so some), but was now a widow, and left in good circumstances. If she was now his wife, we have reason to think that her husband, though preferred in Herod’s court, had received the gospel, and was very willing that his wife should be both a hearer of Christ and a contributor to him.
4. There were many of them that ministered to Christ of their substance. It was an instance of the meanness of that condition to which our Saviour humbled himself that he needed it, and of his great humility and condescension that he accepted it. Though he was rich, yet for our sakes he became poor, and lived upon alms. Let none say that they scorn to be beholden to the charity of their neighbours, when Providence has brought them into straits; but let them ask and be thankful for it as a favour. Christ would rather be beholden to his known friends for a maintenance for himself and his disciples than be burdensome to strangers in the cities and villages whither he came to preach. Note, It is the duty of those who are taught in the word to communicate to them who teach them in all good things; and those who are herein liberal and cheerful honour the Lord with their substance, and bring a blessing upon
Thanks for a clear expositional approach. I’m as perplexed about my own life, as I’m sure John the Baptist was ( not threats). I believe God does plan and knows about Ir. I’ll continue listening...
I’m pretty sure when Muslims say Christ was a Muslim it’s because they are using the word to mean someone who submits to God.
Problem is for Mike, everything has to be literal. Why not just understand the point of the story? Why does it always have to be historically correct? I'm 7 minutes in and already having problems with some of his claims. Jews (to be fair, he says many of them) had stopped believing and expecting prophets in the first century. This is so far from the historical record.
It's funny because he quotes Josephus, knowing full well that Josephus notes numerous 1st century prophets. The Egyptian, Theudas, Jesus ben Ananias and John. We also know that the Essene community at Qumran considered "The Teacher of Righteousness" prophetic, and then there are the Christian prophets of Jesus and Paul. In short, we see a region in the first century chalk full of charismatic prophets. Mike is being quite disingenuous here.

Hey
Please make a repent of your sins video
You are wrong about John the Baptis...John was depressed in prison. Who would not be. His faith may have faltered but never failed
Why did Jesus not save John?
@John Carboni in heaven?

dude........................
I am entertaining too.
Trump makes you cringe? Biden makes me vomit.
John the baptist was murdered? Was Jim the catholic blamed for it or is that just a rumor?
These comments you made about politics is extremely important but can be easily misunderstood. Yes I've cringed at some of the things Trump has said but I've cringed even more at what Hillary or Biden has said. So I'm voting for policies not lack of cringing. And as a Christian if I vote for someone who I haven't cringed at but I know isn't going to win I have now given my vote to the left and everything they stand for. So the statement is very true ,we're not voting for a pastor we're voting for policies, it's politics not a Sunday morning service.
30:40 "doesn't mean I'm not looking for character" ...

All the Governments on the Earth controlled by the Almighty God (Father,Son,Holy Spirit) ...

You're welcome to not watch my videos. Or you can give me an ounce of grace in realizing that I can't always fit a title to each video that perfectly summarizes it. Especially when teaching verse by verse and covering whatever issues come up in a passage.
Running around the bush
Kind of a cheeky response. I actually watched your video to the end and enjoyed. Thanks!
@@johnhenry9456 You're right, I was cheeky. I'm sorry for the cheeky part. In general, when I'm doing a verse by verse study it is hard to find a title that rightly communicates the whole video because I don't force the passage to fit into such titles but I'm still required to make titles.
@@MikeWinger No issues. I should have been more patient in the lead up and the context you were providing. It was worth the wait Mike. Thanks.
Mike...I enjoy your exegetical studies and how you use your gifts to edify the body of Christ. However, I take issue with your comment that you “cringe” at some of the comments President Trump has made and feel that should have been made in private. Certainly Trump is unorthodox but do you cringe at what he has done? Because no president has done more for Israel, the right for life, or Christianity in general than President Trump. Personally, I cringe at what the other party has to offer. Thanks again for your ministry
I commend you for stating that everyone is responsible for their moral character. But, Bro. Mike. If you brought up the moral inconsistencies of our former US President and President Trump, why didn't you mention the individual running for the Presidency in 2016? I will take President Trump, who loves and protects our country and is pro-life and pro-Christian, Any day over the UnGodly people the opposing political party supports. I will continue to pray for you and our President Trump.
This aged interestingly.
