Now, let's join Kurt for today's episode.

Okay, friends, I'm back and I am in the studio, so I think we'll have a little bit of better sound quality today.

Appreciate you working with me a little bit yesterday. And I want to formally apologize to all of our YouTube audience members that I wasn't able to produce a video yesterday, just an audio, and I think it got up a little bit late yesterday.

So thanks for your patience.

Appreciate it.

wives, the children, there's all intermarriage. It's crazy. But know this, that when Herod died,

the Roman government actually divided his kingdom into sections, tetrarchies. And Herod Antipas,
