Desperate Housewives

Herodias and Salome the Prophet/Priest Killer

      If you were ever used to do something incredible what would you want to do?

Many of us would just imagine up our own heroic scenarios and plots that would just seem incredible to the natural man. This is so to the man that is the average day..watch your Superman or actors that play fictional heroes that save the day or the world from harm. However, there is not any person on the face of this earth that are greater than the people that God uses. If you did a statistic of every household in world they would broadly know three names: Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. If you went deeper into their knowledge of great people they would say Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They would say: Esther, Deborah, David, Solomon, and Noah. Of all these names these were people who were used by God to change the dynamics of this entire planet. These people affected the lives of our entire world and they were all people who were used by God. Each testimony was not as easy as people imagined. Depending on the time, relationship with God, and social structure some of these people overcame enormous odds to bring a story of life to millions of people.

      John the Baptist, as Jesus referred was one of the greatest men to ever be born of a woman. He was the son of a Levite named Zacharias, whom was a priest who gave burned sacrifices unto the Lord. He was a pedigree young man being born from parents who were from the line of Aaron. An angel told his parents he was to be born, because before they were barren and could not have a child. Also, his parent were the first to here from God in a period of over 400 yrs ending with the prophet Malachi. So you would agree as well this young boy was special. It was known that thousands were be saved by John who baptized and preached on repentance. It was in his blood to be a man who spoke on the holiness of God and the requirements for obedience to God.  His family never ate catfish or pork chops anything that God called unclean. If he was unclean he would be outcast outside of his people until he was clean. When he grew up he couldn do the things that we could because of the Mosaic Law and his parents who were pedigrees.          

      Therefore the innate ability in John was to be against anything that was not of God. God gave him the ability to have the office of the prophet therefore he projected the justice of God and the vision of the oncoming messiah. So when he came among Herodias who divorced one of her uncles, Herod II, and married the other Uncle Herod Antipas. They were all under a Kingship. John the Baptist raised his voice against the incestry that was corrupting the land. Herod Antipas, who heard John's teaching and liked it knowing that the people around him knew John was a prophet and the people around him confirmed it. He threw him in Jail in fear of the people. The bible says that Herodias quarreled and threw fits because of the ruckus John caused and she wanted to kill john. However, she had no power to do it. So on one account of the gospel there came a time where she allowed her daughter to belly dance for her father. They did it for entertainment in their time. In fact I remember watching the movie 300 and saw it with King Ahaserseus. Today it would be the same thing as someone who was a stripper. Strippers are set up to give erotic pleasure to the senses. They dance in seductive ways, do stances, and alluring looks that evoke the audience to be entranced into the desire of sexual pleasure. Therefore people both men and women are subdued by the power of lust to give up their money for the entertainment that pleases their sexual desire. This was the case. Salome, the daughter, of Herodias and her husband danced for her father and because she pleased her father he vowed to give her anything she wanted. Even half of his own country...all because of the pleasure his daughter gave him from dancing. The twist of it is because the mind of this young girl was in favor for her mother. She gave unto her mother the power for anything she wanted from her father, unto her mother. With such, Herodias being already poised to strike like a rattlesnake in the field. Spoke to her husband that she wanted the head of John the Baptist. It was done, and the head of John the Baptist was brought unto them upon a platter.

      So at the expense of the pleasure and sin of a incestuous marriage, a daughter who was a stripper, and the sensual desire of her father. They killed one of the most powerful and chosen man of God before Jesus. And this is the case nowadays, we because of our sin because of our darkness. Turn upon the very ones who are for the justice and glory for our sovereign God.  This man who the bible says did no miracles, baptized Jesus himself, and was the son of a priest was put in jail and murdered. This is one of the horrible statistics of good men who are killed at the expense of corruption.

Whats the wisdom?

Be just in your relationships. Be married to one person and not cheating around with other women or men. Especially if it is in your own family! God, will send men of honor and people who stand for the truth and confront you on choices. Even if you are not confronted by people it is your own guilty consciousness that will kill you. Guilt is one of the footstools the enemy can have on a person. You don want your mind caged because you know you are wrong, you want to get free, but you powerless to do so. Say no. Run. Walk away. The bible says "Flee from youthful lusts."

Be careful of strippers and dancers. Nowadays it does not have to be in a whore house. Be careful of Women and men who are seductive and they can be in church. Why? Seduction is like magic. It has power over the will of a person. If you see women who are half naked who show you pictures just for you to think they are great. Push on. If you see men who show you all their muscles and bare chest and flaunt their material possessions rather than love for Jesus. Push on.

The enemy is so subtle yet smart and people who are pedigreed and chosen to be influencers in this world are bitten and swallowed by these serpents.

Be watchful and be not decieved.
