Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me so that I may go and worship him. Matthew 2:7-8. The magi were seeking the King, but Herod was afraid of the King and wanted to destroy Him. This person called Herod the Great was threatened by a small Jewish child. Herod was actually a descendant of Esau. This is a picture of the old struggle between Esau and Jacob the existed even before the boys were born (Gen. 25:19-34). It is the spiritual vs the carnal, the godly vs the worldly. Anytime we try to help God to fulfill something in our lives, we end up with a similar type of Esau vs Jacob that is personal to us, and it has an effect on those around you. Trust God and pray, but do not try to assist God in His plan. You may end up with a Herod situation in your future.
