Slaughter of Children. The Bible account of Herod's slaughter of all the boys two years of age and under in Bethlehem and its districts is in harmony with the other historical accounts of Herod and his wicked disposition. This occurred not long before Herod's death, for Jesus escaped by being taken down into Egypt by his parents, but they returned and settled in Galilee after Herod died. These two events were foretold by Jehovah through his prophets Jeremiah and Hosea.-Mt 2:1-23; Jer 31:15; Ho 11:1.

Why Israelite did not accept Jesus as the son of God?

The Jews missed the point, as Jesus would come to save the world of all its sin. but the Jews thought that Jesus would be a king and free them of the Roman power. . they thought he would be born in a palace, and not a manger. This same mistake was made by the three wise men who went to He rods palace, when they wanted the baby . but because of this countless babies were killed.


How many other babies were born in a stable in Bethlehem the same night as Jesus?

We do not know if there were any other babies born in a stable on the night Jesus was born, as it is not recorded in the Bible. Bethlehem was a very crowded place during this time of registration and lodging was hard to come by. But God gave the shepherds enough information to find the Christ Child in the right place.

Why was John the Baptist not killed with the rest of the infant boys at Herod's orders?

A:The story of the 'Slaughter of the Innocents' in Matthew's Gospel only requred Herod to have the babies born in or near Bethlehem killed, whereas Luke's Gospel says that John the Baptist was born in Jerusalem. More importantly, scholars can find no historical evidence that Herod ever had the babies killed. They say this was a literary creation intended to draw parallels between Jesus and Moses, and which was needed to explain the flight to Egypt and, years later, to Nazareth where Jesus began his ministry.

Are babies being killed that survived abortions?

No. The limit when abortion is legal is before a fetus is viable. They are not being killed but they get no treatment because they can not survive. They are not developed enough. For a baby born premature at 24 weeks it still only has 50% chance.
