  • If you didn't know better you'd think there was an immortal king named Herod who was alive for the entire duration of the New Testament doing nothing but harassing Jesus and his followers. You'd be right on the harassing part, but there are actually six different Herods mentioned in the Bible.
    This is the fast, fun, explanation of who all those guys were and what they were so grumpy about.

      Thanks my friend. This video was a lot of fun to make and I'm hoping that even though it might not be the most important subject in the Bible, but it still proves to be really useful for people who want to get these details sorted out in a fun way.

      +The Ten Minute Bible Hour Ideas for Herod songs: "Who are the Herods in your neighborhood?" (Mr Rogers); or "King Herod, had many sons, many sons had king Herod" (Father Abraham). I think there are musical people on the internet who could make these Herod songs happen.

    Your narrative of King Herod and Archelaus doesn't fit the Matthew-Luke birth narrative. Furthermore, you skipped right over Herod Archelaus being removed by Augustus in 6AD when Rome annexed Judea, and enacted the first census of Judea by Quirinius when he become Governor of Syria (as mentioned in the Luke gospel narrative). What gives?

  • @misseli1

    I know who my first cousins once removed are, but that's only because they're roughly my age and my actual first cousin (their mother) is significantly older than I am.

  • @PimYuTub
    @PimYuTub Před 8 lety +1

    Various sources claim that since the word ἀλώπηξ is feminine, Jesus was calling Herod a 'vixen' and mocking him as an animal that is not to be feared. This may have even been the motivation for Mel Gibson's portrayal of Herod Antipas with a female wig and mascara in his movie Passion of the Christ (cf. SBL letter).
    While this is a possibility, the word is inherently female in gender in the Greek language (cf. natural gender) and Jesus most likely did not originally make this statement in Greek, so this likely says very little about the characteristics of the metaphor Jesus is using. Readers should be careful not to read this meaning into the text as the primary meaning of the metaphor. Those who do read the meaning of the gender into the metaphor should also do so when Jesus refers to himself as a female hen in v. 34.

    • @MattWhitmanTMBH
      @MattWhitmanTMBH  Před 8 lety +2

      Great thoughts Mark. I think Jesus clearly intended this as a dig, but you're correct in saying that there is contention about the exact nature of the dig. You make a good point with his description of himself later in the gospel, but even there the feminine would help to describe the action taken by a hen in protecting chicks. It's reasonable to assume intentionality there, and that the feminine form is also descriptive in criticizing Herod.

    Herodian Dynasty

  • @dorianphilotheates3769

    The Herodians were Roman puppets and upstarts. Jesus and His Family were the legitimate Royal House of Judah. That’s why the Herodian dynasty was so keen to marry into it - and later, even keener to have J.C. and His cousin, John The Baptist (the true High Priest of Israel), done away with.

  • @deejay6008
    @deejay6008 Před 7 lety

    I really want to know about Herod the Great Especially at this time when we note the death of the INNOCENTS I know that there was a winter palace and that Herod wasn't very far from the Jerusalem palace I believe that the three Kings that came to visit them were related to him, possibly his mother or maybe a wife that was a 'seal in a deal' with the Nabateans. Herod for sure knows how to pacify the Jews but he did not understand their sense of monotheism and grief. Yes he killed those kids but he did not realize that after Jesus was born there were 8 days till circumcision and that Joseph and Mary were in the temple for His naming and circumcision.. Go figure the BETHLEHEM babies two and under were innocent and killed because this King was stupid in a lot of things.

    • @MattWhitmanTMBH
      @MattWhitmanTMBH  Před 8 lety

      the Romans wouldn't have cared about the intricacies of his ethnicity as much as they would have cared about his ability to keep things under control, and he persuaded them that he could be trusted to deliver on that. It's a choice I think they later regret regretted.
      The connotations of Jesus remark aren't identical to the connotations of that pejorative today, but they're not altogether different either. That job was meant to convey effeminate cowardice.

    In all likelihood, there was no mass execution of infants or newborns - although Herod the Great was ruthless and violent, no historical evidence exists beyond the account in the gospel of Luke and such an event would have been recorded elsewhere (Josephus, the Romans, etc)
