The Death of John

I am so sorry that evil Herod and Herodias murdered Your dear cousin John, who was the greatest prophet

I know that You know that it marked the beginning for You to begin proclaiming Your Kingdom

Thirty years earlier another Herod murdered all the children 2 years and younger

In his efforts to assassinate You

Evil possessed an ugly ruler and the first martyr's blood after John was spilled

An announcement in blood proclaims the beginning of the beginning of Your public years

Yes,Your Kingdom is announced with Holy blood and finishes with Your Holy blood

Life is in the blood. Blood saves lives. Holy blood provides a righteous covering.

Your gift of Love covers us and gives way to comfort so mankind can rest.
