Episode 293: 2BC: The Death of Herod and the Return of Jesus from Egypt

The last days of Herod are marked with rebellion. Even after his death, Herod Archelaus puts down a rebellion with three thousand causalities around the temple mount. Archelaus goes to Rome to confirm his appointment as king, and three other rebellions break out leading to another two thousand casualties and crucifixions alongside the Judean roadways as Rome restores order. When it was time for Joseph and Mary to return from Egypt, their fear of Herod Archelaus was justified. Thus, they settled in Nazareth. Matthew 2:22-23Luke 2:39-40Isaiah 53:1-3www.messagetokings.com
