The first martyrs

​

When Herod realized that

he had been outwitted by the Magi,

he was furious, and he gave orders

to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and

its vicinity who were two years old and

under, in accordance with the time

he had learned from the Magi.

Then what was said through

the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

​"A voice is heard in Ramah,

weeping and great mourning,

Rachel weeping for her children and

refusing to be comforted, because

they are no more." Matthew 2:16-18

​

The Great King Herod who was

a sovereign ruler during

the first Christmas.

He feared a Baby Jesus instead of

worshiping him; Who should be the one

to save the mankind from their sins.

​Herod had become a tool of

killer Satan who was the killer of

first persons Adam and Eve by

deceiving them to betray God, and

they were overtaken by shame and fear.

​Some 30 children killed by Herod

due to Jesus birth might be called

the youngest martyrs.

​Now they are singing new songs of

glory and thanksgiving to God in

the glorious heaven living beautiful and

perfect, worshiping God all the time.

They are the witness of Christmas.
