About The Event
Why did Herod order the massacre of Bethlehem's children? This message explores the tragic events of Matthew 2:12–23, revealing them as part of a far greater spiritual conflict. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture traces Satan's determined attempt to oppose God's redemptive plan by seeking to destroy the Messiah and the people through whom He came. Rather than simply examining the history of antisemitism, we will uncover the biblical foundations of this ancient war, see how it has unfolded throughout history, and understand how its influence continues to shape our world today.
