2024-09-23 02:34:13 +0000 UTCKing Herod had boys under the age of two killed because he wanted to kill the Messiah (Jesus - a rival ruler). The birth of the Messiah was prophesied in Micah 5 verse 2 and located bethlehem as his birth place. Herod initially sent astrologers (wise men) to report his location but they were warned by an angel not to report to Herod. In his rage he massacred these children to make sure of the messiah's death. Joseph and Mary were warned to leave and escape with Jesus to Egypt.

2024-09-02 18:56:20 +0000 UTCFordy7169, Schools in the UK still do Nativity every Christmas, there are lots of CofE Schools who still recite the Lord’s Prayer every morning. And I’m not religious, but if you have a religion then fair play to you. However, I need to point out that Jesus would probably be ‘woke’ these days (You know, with his relaxed attitude to poor people and sex workers, but also a distaste for excessive wealth).

2024-09-01 02:02:36 +0000 UTCYep, the exhumation and hanging of the three already-dead regicides in January 1661 (not just Oliver Cromwell, but the corpses of Henry Ireton and John Bradshaw too) was a very calculated act of political theatre on the part of the returning Stuart dynasty, performed on the twelfth anniversary of Charles I's execution to draw a line under the whole business after thirty-three of the living regicides had already been hanged, drawn and quartered for treason in the preceding months. It was intended to publicly put all the sins of the Republic onto the heads of those few ringleaders, and thus allow some reconciliation with lesser Roundheads, including some who'd signed the King's death warrant (Richard Ingoldsby, for instance, was a regicide who Charles II knighted just three months after the mock-executions of 1661 because he'd been smart enough to switch sides early, and managed to pull off the highly unlikely claim that Cromwell had forced him to sign the death warrant against his will). In the short-term the reconciliation attempt didn't entirely work, because there was still too much bad blood and too many hardliners on both sides, especially once the Royalists dominated Parliament. The Fifth Monarchists - Roundhead radicals who believed that the Second Coming of Christ was imminent - rose in insurrection around the time of the executions and occupied St Paul's cathedral for four days, shouting "King Jesus and the heads on the gate!", but they were the last diehards of a religious-political tradition that would find henceforth a peaceful voice in Whiggism.

2024-08-31 23:18:10 +0000 UTCErr, The Herod that tried to have the infant JC killed. In the UK during my young childhood the 1970's/80's 99.9% of schools all taught the basic story of JC/nativity/bible as we were a predominantly Christian morality-based nation/society, whether you were religious or not. I'm talking between the ages of 4 to 14. It was compulsory. After 14 we chose our own subjects. I thought the U.S.A. was predominantly a Christian nation but maybe by the time you started school the woke lefties/commies had infiltrated the Education dept's.

2024-08-31 23:06:29 +0000 UTCEvening :) Hope you are feeling on the mend! In 1661, the year after Charles II restored the monarchy, Cromwell was dug up, put on trial and hung from the famous gallows at Tyburn, then had his head chopped off to send a message of the King's power, Cromwell's head was placed on a pike on the roof of Westminster Hall where it stayed for thirty years. lol

2024-08-31 22:39:57 +0000 UTCYeah, Herod from the bible you plum. Though to be fair, your British history knowledge is still better than mine, I'd never heard of Thomas Cromwell before watching this episode the first time and I probably would have done an Alan!

2024-08-31 20:58:03 +0000 UTCBelieve it or not, not all of us are religious. Also, unless you go to a Christian based school we are not obligated to be taught the bible. Besides, how many Jewish Kings named Herod were there? Six? Seven?

2024-08-31 20:55:39 +0000 UTCIt just occurred to me (because of your intro) that this is essentially a sketch show, if it's a compilation of clips (from Facebook).

2024-08-31 18:43:12 +0000 UTCKB, can't believe you don't know who 'Herod' was. One of the main 'baddie' characters early on in the the Story of Mr J. Christ. Surely American schools taught this story to younger age kids?? Wow, if not.

2024-08-31 17:08:21 +0000 UTCHerod is the king in the Bible that finding out the Messiah had been born in Nazareth (or it might have been just in the land of bethlehem I can't remember) ordered the death of all infants under the age of two within its borders. Hence "There was great weeping and lamentation in the land, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not".

2024-08-31 17:04:24 +0000 UTCHerod was a king in the bible who ordered the execution of all male babies.

2024-08-31 17:03:58 +0000 UTCRE Cromwell. I'm a little dusty on the details, but yes they dug him up and quartered him (body parts in all four corners of Britain) And hung is decapitated head from somewhere in or around London. I think it happened as soon as the monarchy was restored. It was the Royal family's big FU to a man who played a significant part in their downfall and execution of the previous monarch. I'm no fan of the monarchy, but Cromwell was basically a king in all but name, too. So I take no sides in that whole thing.

2024-08-31 16:34:13 +0000 UTCThe shows designed to be like the webcam that became popular for radio in the 2000's. It was a new concept that people could tune in on the net and actually watch the radio shows. 😀 I love mid morning matters. It's subtle humour at its best.
