The Killing of the Children
16 When Herod realized that the visitors from the East had tricked him, he was furious. He gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its neighborhood who were two years old and younger—this was done in accordance with what he had learned from the visitors about the time when the star had appeared.

17 In this way what the prophet Jeremiah had said came true:

18 “A sound is heard in Ramah,
The sound of bitter weeping.
Rachel is crying for her children;
She refuses to be comforted,
For they are dead.”
Matthew 2:16-18




And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
2 Peter 1:19



The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ was prophesied severally in the scriptures. In today's text, we read that Herod's action was prophesied by Jeremiah the prophet (Jeremiah 31:15)
There are still many prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled. It is wisdom to study prophecies from the word of God and to watch the times.
Our Lord Jesus Christ warned that the time of His coming will be as it was in the days of Noah when people were marrying and being given in marriage and it did not seem as if there was an impending danger. Also in the days of Lot, things went on normally until Lot went out of Sodom and it rained fire and brimstone and there was great destruction. The Lord warned us to watch so that when He comes, He won't find us sleeping. (Mark 13:35-36).
Pay heed to prophecy and don't lose out. May your spirit be quickened in this area all the time to know that there is an impending doom to them that will not hear and believe the word of God. May the peace of God be your portion in today and forever more, Amen.
Remain blessed.
Good morning
