Because he brought terrible persecution on the Church.

Because he rejected his opportunity to obey the gospel.

The correct answer is "Because he accepted the people's acclaim when they equated him with God." This explanation suggests that God sent a horribly painful death on Herod because he allowed the people to worship him as if he were God.

Therefore, God's punishment can be seen as a consequence of Herod's arrogance and violation of religious principles.Rate this question:
