Dance Before A Beheading Once upon a time a little girl danced to please a king. Her dance was so beautiful, the enraptured king promised to give her anything she wanted - even half of his kingdom. The little girl had no idea what to ask for, so she whispered in her mommy's ear, "What should I ask for mommy." The woman the little girl trusted most in the world was ready with an answer. "Tell the king you want him to chop off the head of John the Baptist and bring it to you on a serving dish." The little girl happily danced her way back to the king and expressed her desire for a man's head on a platter. The king sent his executioner to the dungeon who promptly beheaded John. He brought back John's head on a serving dish and presented it to the girl who took it to her mother. Evil. Evil woman. Evil king. A little girl used by Evil. This story is just pure Evil. And yet - as macabre and vile as this true story is, the hated of truth remains. Evil still repeats itself today. The big picture is this: "A bitter woman with a Hatred of Truth thought killing the Truth Teller could silence the Truth." The Mother with the Dancing Daughter of Death had their moment of dreadful fame. They took disregard for human life to the darkest degree. Methinks they most likely danced into the dangers of hellfire. Beheading Truth is defacing the image and likeness of God. The head of a beheaded man on a serving platter is the devil's graffiti on the human heart. It leaves a dirty mark on one's soul. The Truth about Truth is this: Truth can't be killed. Truth never dies. Truth will never leave. Truth can only be suppressed for a while. Truth can't be hidden forever. Truth is never hidden from God. Truth has a limited hiding space, it's always revealed at the right time. Truth is unchanging. Truth is more powerful than a lie. Truth reveals the character of Christ. John the Baptist's birthday is celebrated on June 24 - exactly six months before the birthday of Christ is celebrated on December 25th - Christmas. John was the boy who leaped in his mother's womb when his mom met Mary, the mother of Christ. John's death was the beginning of an acceleration in the ministry of Jesus and the ultimate journey unto His own death on a cross. The Way, the Truth and the Life cannot be killed. Jesus is the Truth. Yep, be like Jesus. ✝️✝️✝️ "When Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests. She pleased Herod so much he swore to give her whatever she wanted. But the girl's mother told her to say, "Here on a serving plate I want the head of John the Baptist!"" Matthew 14:6-8 CEV ✝️ "Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6 HCSB ✝️✝️✝️ Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody. Jesus loves you and so do we. #GodStoriesWithBiblebob #BibleShortsWithBiblebob #ywap4Christ #JLYASDW
