| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Scriptures Are Real. I'm your host for today, Lamar, and here's my co-host and regular host, Kerry Mealstein. |
| 0:16.3 | How are you? I'm doing good. It's been a while since we've been together. Yeah, there's been too many things going on. |
| 0:22.6 | I know, but lots of great guests. |
| 0:24.6 | Like I've said before, many times I follow this podcast, even when I'm not on it, even better |
| 0:30.6 | when I'm not on it, probably. |
| 0:32.6 | But a great guest and you have all talked so many, have so many great things to say about the area and so many interesting details about Israel. And I really enjoyed your guests and their insights. And I come away every time thinking, oh, that's a great point. I'm gonna write that in my scriptures. I'm gonna write that in a journal. So really great things. So I really appreciate the guests that you have had on. And hopefully we've missed talking with you. We need to make sure we're doing some more of this. Oh, yeah. We'll work on it. We'll repent. We'll get together for sure. |
| 1:02.7 | So today, before we jump in, today we're going to talk about Christ and we're going to go through who John the Baptist is beheaded by and the different |
| 1:13.0 | Herods. We're going to talk about the effect that has on Christ, what he's doing about it and how |
| 1:17.8 | that interacts with the feeding of the 5,000 and what we can learn from the 5,000. And also, |
| 1:22.2 | we're going to talk about how that leads into Christ walking on the water and lessons that we |
| 1:26.8 | can learn from that. |
| 1:28.4 | Sounds good. Let's do it. Before we get going on this, I want to, I know this trips up a lot of |

| 1:46.9 | He has the children slaughtered in Jerusalem. |
| 1:51.6 | And now he's still alive. |
| 1:53.1 | And that fakes some people up. |
| 1:56.0 | So let's talk real quick about it. |
| 1:57.5 | So Herod the Great was born in about 72 BC. Yeah. somewhere in there, 70, 73, something like that. Yeah. We don't know exactly. It depends on where you date the birth of Christ, but somewhere around that time. And somewhere around 36 or so BC, he comes to power in earnest and he makes some uh some military issue sort of things and |
| 2:21.7 | he's not really allowed to be a military guy but he is allowed to to support oh well you know hey |
| 2:27.2 | just to throw this a little bit of context for our history lovers out there this is actually he's |
