00:00He was praised as a god by thousands, but moments later he faced one of the most terrifying deaths recorded
00:08in the Bible.
00:09In Acts chapter 12, we encounter King Herod Agrippa, a powerful ruler whose pride led to a shocking end.
00:18Herod had already killed James and imprisoned Peter, but his final downfall came during a public speech.
00:25The crowd was so impressed that they shouted, the voice of a god and not of a man.
00:31Instead of giving glory to God, Herod accepted their praise.
00:36Then, suddenly, an angel of the Lord struck him down.
00:41The Bible says he was eaten by worms and died.
00:45A mighty king, defeated in a moment.
00:48His story carries a powerful warning.
00:51Never take the glory that belongs to God.
00:55Because no matter how powerful you become, you are never greater than the one who created you.
