Herod was the king of Judea who, out of fear and jealousy that a new king had been born to replace him, ordered the killing of all infant boys in Bethlehem. Though he held power for over 30 years and sponsored construction projects, Herod was a ruthless ruler who had members of his own family killed. The story shows that no one can prevent God's plans and that great power does not guarantee security or impress God.
