Acts12,19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while. 20 He had been quarrelling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. Having secured the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply. 21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22 They shouted, This is the voice of a god, not of a man. 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. 24 But the word of God continued to increase and spread. 25 When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.
He is seeking Peter and can not find him!
He killed all the 16guards, who could not do anything against the angle!
He is angry with some people but they come and are nice to him. Even they say you are God. Herod is not saying NO!
An Angle is striking him/worms are eating him alive/Herod died on the spot/
BECAUSE HE DID NOT GIVE PRAISE TO GOD! > Herod can arrest disciples. Herod can kill James, Herod can take Peter: Nothing happens. But then he is accepting, that the people call out he is God - and then God strikes him down! > This is quiet something. Never append again. Even the Emperors can just proclaim, that they are God-Son - nothing happens. But Herod dies right here. I do not understand!
V24 The Word speeds
HOW IS THAT TODAY IN BERLIN! AM I PART OF THE WORD SPREDING PHENOMENA? I WANT TO!!!
V25Barnabas,Saul and John Mark are coming back to Jerusalem after finishing their mission.
How long did they work in Antiochia? The news about their service went surely ahead. How did the image of Paul slowly change? Who did he feel coming home to Jerusalem? Did they come under cover?
