She Who Danced: The Fate of House Herod

While Christ was crucified under Pontius Pilate, no other political dynasty features more in the life of Christ and the apostles more than that of the House of Herod. From Herod the Great's Massacre of the Innocents, to Herod Antipas beheading John the Baptist and witnessing Christ bound for crucifixion, to Herod Agrippa I's beheading of James and arrest of Peter, to Herod Agrippa II's audience with Paul, the dynasty is an ever present force during the times of the early church.And while tradition records what happened to the apostles as they dispersed across the world, whatever happened to the members of the House of Herod? And what of Salome, that daughter of Herodias, who danced for the head of John the Baptist?Chapters00:00 Intro02:08 Herod the Great16:57 Herod Antipas & Herodias30:03 Herod Agrippa I39:07 Herod Agrippa II53:37 Salome, Daughter of HerodiasSupport me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/thetabellionFind the host Gravantus on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheTabellionOr my longform writings at https://thetabellion.com/Background pixel art by: https://twitter.com/illseer"Dark Carnival" by Aleksey Chistilin https://soundcloud.com/aleksey-chistilin/dark-carnival
