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.
