It was described as a Sperry Symposium classic, and a detailed and powerful description of Herod was read from this book. It likens Herod to the opposition the church faces today.
He says, A fiend in a human body, a man who had drenched himself in the blood of the innocent, a man whose deeds were enough to cause hell itself to shudder, none other than Israel's king, Herod the Great.
The question as to whether Herod really believed Israel's king had been born is of little moment. What is of importance, that which makes the nativity story complete, is the evidence of the anger and wrath of hell at the birth of God's son.
And listen to this, as Satan's chief apostle, Herod, with all the cunning of hell, sought to destroy the Christ child of a truth, the kingdom of God will never go unopposed in the days of earth's mortality, the period of Satan's power.
It's a Sperry Symposium classic.
