Christmas greetings -
King Herod was successful deceitful backstabber. He back stabbed Mark Antony who made him a tetrarch. He backstabbed his sons Aristobulus and Alexander with the help of his another son Antipater by Doris. Even Antipater was killed by order. His very loved wife Mariamne was killed as well as his mother-in-law Alexandra was killed.
This time he planned to kill Jesus by treachery. He sent the wise men to Bethlehem to see Jesus and come back to report where He stays, so that he can kill Him. But the wise men went away by the other road guided by angles. Jesus was taken to Egypt for safety.
The successful backstabber Herod has lost his lot this time. Just a few years before the successful journey of Jesus on the road to Redemption and Salvation the once successful deceitful backstabber failed in his attempt and died by a strange disease.
Jesus right from his birth to his death and resurrection has upset the plans of satan, saying, "Away from me, Satan!" Or "Get behind me, Satan!" until one day "He (Jesus) shall bruise your (Satan's) head."
This is the successful reign of Jesus and we celebrate this imminent success with "Christmas".
"Merry Christmas to you all."
Verse from Holy Bible : Matthew 4:10, 16:23, Genesis 3:15.
