Indeed it is. When Jesus spoke of a faith of a mustard seed that could move mountains in Matthew 17:20, He was using Herod as an example. Herod was the one man that had literally moved a mountain when he constructed his place/fortress of Herodium.
Herodium is 3 miles southeast of Bethlehem and 8 miles south of Jerusalem. The road from Jerusalem to Herodium runs through Bethlehem and Herodium can be seen easily from either city.
John also refers to Herod and Herodium in 1 Corinthians 13:2 when he says "and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." This is the faith that Herod had. A faith without love that will not save.
