The plot thickens as JTB is murdered and then is in a higher form to witness the crucifixion. Baptist is beheaded by Herod “(Hebrew "go'el"): The Hebrew name for the clansman, "next of kin," upon whom devolved the duties: (1) of avenging, on the person of the murderer, the blood of a murdered kinsman—in this capacity the more specific term "go'el ha-dam" (blood-avenger) was generally used—and (2) of redeeming the property or the person of a relative that had fallen into debt.” Jesus as Kinsman Redeemer The Avenger of Blood In a case in which the verdict against the slayer was one of willful murder, the murderer incurred the blood-revenge without any restrictions. If he were already in a city of refuge, the elders of his own city were obliged to fetch him thence by force if necessary, and to deliver him formally to the Avenger of Blood, who thus became little more than a family executioner (Deut. xix. 11 et seq): Part Three Jesus then Baits the Jewish Leaders to Kill Him Jesus has set up Herod to kill his relative so He can destroy the Priesthood. It goes something like this: on the cross Jesus avenges JTB and destroys the Holy of Holies (the veil is rent and the Ark of the Covenant is not there) Jesus further destroys the Temple and Jerusalem in 70 AD ‘Destroy this ‘Temple and in three days I will raise it again.” Jn 2.19 (Maybe John’s ‘temple’ too).

This account will come from outside Canon but is a useful historical reference. Jeremiah Hides the Tent, Ark, and Altar Although outside mainstream scripture this account uses some historical events such as Hanukkah used by Christ in the Feast of Light
