Your future lies in 6640.

66 books by 40 authors, and yet we now discover it's an integrated message system from outside our time domain.

Welcome to 6640, the ministry outreach of Koinania House and Koinnea Institute.

Today's Bible teacher is Chuck Missler, connecting the Bible to your life and the world around you.

In today's study, Chuck continues his teaching on the book of Matthew, chapter 2. Mark Anthony re-established Roman sovereignty in 37 BC, and like Karsis before him, he embarked

on a similarly ill-fated Parthian expedition.

His disastrous defeat was followed by another wave of invading Parthians,

which swept all Roman oppositions completely out of Palestine, including Herod himself,

who had to flee to Alexandria and then to Rome.

So Herod's in Rome three years. He's king of the Jews, but it's not in Judea.

It's in Rome. He is a political appointee. He's not even Jewish. She's Edomeda. Edomite.

So with Parthian collaboration, Jewish sovereignty was restored and Jerusalem was fortified

with the Jewish garrison. It's interesting to see a history

here or a tradition of comfort between the Jews and the Persians. We, we, we, sometimes,

if you study Persian history, you'll be astonished how often there are Jewish people that are in key jobs and even ruling it from

time to time. The history is very interesting. It's not as anti-Semitic, if you will, as some of

these other cultures were. But let's keep moving here. Herod, by this time, secured from Augusta Caesar,

the title, King of the Jews.

However, it's not for three years, including a five-month siege by Roman troops that the king was able to occupy his own capital city.

So you get the picture. It's a very unstable. Parat is on a slippery rock.

The reason he's there is because of Roman might.
