Matthew 2Matthew 2 Summary
A Kill-List for the King
A paranoid usurper sits on a blood-stained throne in Jerusalem while a star signals his replacement. When foreign king-makers arrive asking for the 'born King,' the gears of an empire turn toward infanticide. This isn't a silent night; it’s a high-speed escape into the heart of an ancient enemy to keep the hope of Israel breathing.
The Hinge Point
Matthew 2 forces a collision between the power that takes life to stay in control and the Power that gives life by becoming a refugee. The King of the Universe begins His reign not in a palace, but in the shadow of a state-sponsored execution order.
