"Divine Judgment" in the Book of Revelation and Other Jewish Sources

“And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born” (Revelation 12:4 KJV) At the birth of the Messiah, a third rebellion swept through the Land in a bloodlust to eradicate the holy child destined to deliver humanity and dethrone rulers of darkness upon the Earth. It happened before. Twice the seed of the serpent, the devil’s spawn, tried to corrupt the seed of the women. Then, the Dark Lord—that old serpent—instigated a brutal measure. Herod the Great worked at Satan’s behest, as would many leaders thereafter. Trying to wipe out the prophesied king, Herod slaughtered every male child aged two and under (Matt. 2:13-23). A lament went throughout the Land.
