Isaiah 9:1-4
Jesus threw the gauntlet down, directly at Herod Antipas and the rest of the Herods, when in the gospels he quoted Isaiah 9:2:
"Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles--the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.” (Matthew 4:15-16)
