MARTYRS IN THE BIBLE
THE INNOCENTS



MATTHEW 2

When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

“A voice is heard in Ramah,
    weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children
    and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more.”

I believe it shows those babies heavenward. Despite Herod, they triumph after all.

And Leftists want to kill babies even before they are born........

Note that Herod died soon after his massacre of the children.

I hope it was slow and painful...................

Good Morning Dan, and good day to each of you.

What a sober reminder of our need of a Savior- I wonder how many mothers also died that day...

Thank you Dan.

Hello Dan. All of the previous pictures were painful to view. The last one it’s easy to see that they are in Heaven.

Herod was an amateur, compared to Hitler and the abortion industry of today.

Somehow, I doubt that Herod will be in heaven and able to fill us in on the details of his demise....................

Thank you, Pete. You placed things in the proper perspective, I think.

All beautifully done but for me the horror of that event is reflected in the terrified eyes of the mother hiding with her baby in Cogniet painting at #31. Too painful subject to study each painting.

You have hope that Salome reached heaven. We all are sinners, so I never begrudge anyone being covered by Jesus’ blood..............

Salome was a young girl, so I hope she had time as an adult to see the miracles of Christ and join the early Christian church................

“Herod was an amateur, compared to Hitler and the abortion industry of today.”
.....................
True indeed. Tens of millions dead by abortion: do we really think that we can avoid a worse judgement than Germany suffered? God is NOT MOCKED.

Agree. They’re all depicted with small “haloes”, indicating presence in Heaven.
