A King threatened by a Cry in the Manger

‎I Perceive King Herod's Tone...
‎
‎The pretend care in his voice barely flowed through the walls of his lips, even as he fumed from his nose.
‎
‎"Stars In The East.
‎King We've Come To Worship",
‎
‎I'm too sure it echoed from his left ear to the right.
‎His mattress definitely couldn't withstand the weight of his troubled countenance, this I'm too sure about.
‎The scorching heat of his emotions, the willpower to overthrow a child.
‎
‎Who gets overwhelmed and threatened by a child?
‎What manner of old man who can sit while seeing what a child can't see even if on an Iroko tree, gets offended by the child?
‎Who fumes at the thought of strangers worshipping a child?
‎
‎It seemed his throne produced thorns; he surely wouldn't sit in a spot; something must be done about this new happening. He had to do something, or something else may occur.
‎He has to behave like the king he is. He has to fight for his throne.
‎
‎But who told him, the newborn king, wanted his throne?
‎What whispered such an idea to him that THIS KING would bring himself too low to fight a mere man?
‎What transpired in his head to conceive the fact that THE KING OF KINGS, cared about his tiny throne when HE owned everything, including him, King Herod.
‎
‎But then, the devil don already shit for e matter, so he had to go according to the plan, make the story juicier. After all, no story is complete without some complicated scene; no mountain is a mountain without some hurdles, so definitely, the story won't be sweet without a little casala.
‎
‎So why not push forward the diabolical idea,
‎"Kill him.
‎Why not silence this newborn king? After all, you'll be doing him a favor by returning him to his Creator.
‎Why not keep the throne to himself, like say e sef no go die one day".
‎
‎But what makes him think that the One set to silence the grave and kill death could be hunted down?
‎
‎How foolish could the devil be to suggest such an idea to him?
‎
‎
‎But hanks be to God for the adjective –they weren't just men but wise men, so the God whose foolishness is wiser than the wisdom of men, had His plan, a plan to prove to the devil that He God made wisdom, and no one can be wiser than Him, neither could death hold him captive.
‎
‎The one immune to death, the one who silences the silencer, couldn't be harmed, not by mere men and not by a nobody called Herod.
‎
‎And this… this is why we call Him King.
‎Not crowned by men, but clothed in purpose.
‎Not seated on a golden throne, but laid in a manger.
‎Not born in a palace, but sent from Heaven.
‎
‎He did not come to fight for thrones,
‎He came to silence graves.
‎He did not come to overthrow a king,
‎He came to overthrow death.
‎
‎He wasn’t born because the world was ready,
‎He was born because the world was lost.
‎Not to compete with power,
‎But to redefine it.
‎
‎So while Herod trembled,
‎He triumphed.
‎While crowns shook,
‎The cross was already in motion.
‎While men plotted,
‎Prophecy was already fulfilled.
‎
‎And now, history does not remember Herod.
‎But Heaven still bows to His name.
‎
‎Because He wasn’t just born…
‎He was sent.
‎He wasn’t just placed in a manger…
‎He shook the grave.
‎He wasn’t just called King…
‎He proved it.
‎
‎And till today,
‎every throne fades,
‎Every ruler falls,
‎every power lapses…
‎
‎But His kingdom?
‎Still has no end.
‎
