Let's not forget, that Herod, appointed King of Judea, was not an Israelite.

Herod, is indeed of the tribe of The ADVERSARY.

Herod (born 73 bce—died March/April, 4 bce, Jericho, Judaea) was the Roman-appointed king of Judaea (37–4 bce), who built many fortresses, aqueducts, theatres, and other public buildings and generally raised the prosperity of his land but who was the centre of political and family intrigues in his later years. The New Testament portrays him as a tyrant, into whose kingdom Jesus of Nazareth was born.

Family and early life

Herod was born in southern Palestine. His father, Antipater, was an Edomite (a Semitic people, identified by some scholars as Arab,

The Pharisees, Scribes, Lawyers, Sanhedrin were also Edomites…

Genesis 36:8

“Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.”

>>21803368

Thus says the LORD, “For three transgressions of Edom [the descendants of Esau] and for four (multiplied delinquencies) I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it, Because he pursued his brother Jacob (Israel) with the sword, Corrupting and stifling his compassions and casting off all mercy; His destructive anger raged continually, And he maintained [and nurtured] his wrath forever.

Amos 1:11

Jeremiah 40

King James Version

40 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.

Obadiah 10–14

10 lBecause of the violence done to your brother Jacob,shame shall cover you,

mand you shall be cut off forever.

11 nOn the day that you stood aloof,

oon the day that strangers carried off his wealth

and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem,you were like one of them.

12 qBut do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah

in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress.

13 Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity.

14 vDo not stand at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; do not hand over his survivors

in the day of distress.

Edom’s lack of brotherly love manifested itself concretely in their purloining of Jerusalem’s wealth, their glee on the “day of Judah’s calamity” (a play on “Edom”), and their slaughter/betrayal of war refugees.Footnote10
