Commentary on Acts 12:23
Herod's immediate divine judgment ('the angel of the Lord smote him') for accepting worship demonstrates God's jealous protection of His glory. The gruesome death by worms ('eaten of worms') serves as vivid warning against usurping divine honor. This judgment recalls similar Old Testament deaths of those claiming divine status.
