The horrifying reason why there are no Christmas lights in Bethlehem of all places
Fox News
The Holy Land is dark as the war continues against Hamas terrorists. Bethlehem has seen such grief before during the time of King Herod when he ordered the murder of Jewish children.
In a fit of satanic rage, Herod decided to eliminate any potential "King of the Jews" (Matthew 2:2) by killing every Jewish boy aged 2 and under in Bethlehem and the surrounding region (Matthew 2:13-16). Dr. Robert Jeffress is senior pastor of the 16,000-member First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas, and is a Fox News contributor. His daily radio program, "Pathway to Victory," is heard on more than 1,400 stations nationwide, and his weekly television program is seen in 195 countries around the world, including Fox Nation. Jeffress has appeared on many media outlets, such as "Fox & Friends," "Hannity," "Good Morning America" and "Real Time with Bill Maher." He is the author of nearly 30 books, including "Not All Roads Lead to Heaven," "Choosing the Extraordinary Life" and "18 Minutes with Jesus," is available nationwide. He lives in Dallas.
The idea of a darkened Bethlehem in 2023 leads us to consider what the first Christmas must have been like, in that same place, more than 2,000 years ago.
