That last one - truly bizarre.
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....................
Good question, Leon.
We might could ask Salome.................
Thank you, Pete. You placed things in the proper perspective, I think.
Beautiful.
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................
Amen and Amen.
“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.
Would that it was so...................
Agree. They’re all depicted with small “haloes”, indicating presence in Heaven.
Wish I had found dozens of similar images.
