Herod may have been a descendant of Esau. He was certainly Syrian and hired by the Romans. He was also Jewish. The other discussions point out that he may have been a child of Ishmael. In either case, he was a child of Abraham arguably; an unrepentant one. He is the one who asked the three wise men to tell him about the whereabouts of the Christ-child. After being unable to find him, he ordered the death of every child in Palestine and Jerusalem under two years of age; how evil! In the last argument, he may have been a child of Rameses II who is potentially a descendant of Ishmael; an unrepentant one. He should have been a follower of the people of the book and joined Moses. Who is trying to kill you in the humble life you have chosen? They chase you around, they want to steal the recipe you designed for a cheese-less cheese cake, they bug your phone and want to tell you how they need to abuse you while they ask you to visit them. They are not the good by-products of social engineering but the loose zombies that hide behind the willingness to do anything self-deprecating for acceptance. You have not joined them in that since you decided your mind is your temple. You watch nothing more aggressive than 1960's Batman, the odd western from the late 90's in addition to a few period movie pieces from any decade; period pieces like Saving Private Ryan, The Pianist or When We Were soldiers in addition to Iron Man and the Road Warrior. You can watch those in a church basement. In that movie "Road Warrior", people refuse to use hydrogen fuel cell batteries for their cell phones instead of more wasteful lithium ion batteries. But, who cares so long as the phone rings with reasonable battery life. Well, maybe the Road Warrior might be a bit off for the church basement. Otherwise, the movies have a certain quotient. Maybe he is on the other side of the family and very inexplicably jealous of the quiet breath you enjoy every day. He or she does not seem to think you should do anything else lest his jealousy is provoked. Hmmmm!
