Herod's Death
20 He had been very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians.[a] Together they presented themselves before him, and having won over Blastus, who was in charge of the king's bedroom, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's country.
21
So on an appointed day, dressed in royal robes and seated on the throne, Herod delivered a public address to them.
22
The populace began to shout, "It's the voice of a god and not of a man!"
23
At once an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give the glory to God, and he became infected with worms and died.
24
Then God's message flourished and multiplied.

The Power of Prayer Part 6b
Jeff Johnson
If you need a good example of the foolishness of going against God, and seeking the glory that belongs only to Him, just look at the life of Herod. He had a tragic ending, as he was eaten by worms and died. Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson recalls this story from Acts twelve, and shows us three worms that can easily devour us today if we’re not careful.
The Power of Prayer Part 6a
Jeff Johnson
Today and tomorrow pastor Jeff Johnson will finish up Acts chapter twelve. You may recall that Herod not only killed James, arrested Peter, but also slaughtered his six guards. He was ruthless! But his fatal mistake, as we’ll see today, was when he failed to give glory to God!
