King Herod Was Anxious To See JESUS!

Hi! and happy good Thursday to all of us, GUYS.  Our "food for the soul" today:

THE GOOD NEWS (22 September 2016)
"King Herod heard of all this and did not know what to think, for people said, 'This is John, raised from the dead.'  Others believed that Elijah or one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.  As for Herod, he said, 'I had John beheaded; who is this man about whom I hear such wonders?  And he was anxious to see HIM." - Luke 9:7-9 
King Herod Antipas And JESUS
(King Herod.  This refers to Herod Antipas, son of the other Herod who reigned when JESUS was born.

People said that John the Baptist has been raised from the dead.  They considered John a martyr and believed he would rise from the dead to punish Herod.  Some associated JESUS with John - JESUS performed miracles that John had not done.  Others, less informed, thought JESUS was an apparition of John.)
