"too much cake?"

Actually, in the olden days, cake hadn't been invented yet. So at birthday parties, there was no birthday cake to cut. So they would cut people instead.

Also, John had to decrease while Jesus increase according to prophecy, his beheading was fulfillment of prophecy then.

This episode was perhaps a thinly veiled (pun intended) pornshow involving possibly an under-age performer.

Once the hormone kick in, things will happen, life expectancy plummet. Prov.7:22

Even today, people in the oil countries if caught, will be shortened by a foot at the top. even if of the royal line.

anniversaries are a celebrationnot not of death but of life. are you alive?

The bible is obsessed with dates. Its like how so many events happen on the Spring Equinox

Jesus dies, passover, noahs ark, the day the sun stood still for joshua,isaac born, john the baptist born, festival first fruits etc. The more you check the more you realise the solar symbolism.

NISAN 15

15 Nisan – (1713 BCE) – Isaac born

According to the Book of Genesis 21:1-6, "God remembered Sarah as He had said, and God did to Sarah as He had spoken. And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him... Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him. And Sarah declared: 'God has made laughter for me, so that all that hear will laugh ('yitzchak') with me."

15 Nisan – (1313 BCE) – The Exodus

At midnight of Nisan 15 of the Hebrew year 2448 (1313 BCE), which 210 years after Jacob settled in Egypt and 430 years after the "Covenant Between the Parts," God is said to have visited the last of the ten plagues on the Egyptians, killing all their firstborn. Earlier that evening, the Israelites conducted the first "seder" of history, eating the roasted meat of the Passover offering with matzot and bitter herbs, and sprinkling the blood of the sacrifice on their doorposts as a sign that God will "pass over" their homes when inflicting the plague upon the Egyptians. Pharaoh's resistance to free them was broken, and he chased his former slaves out of the land. Several million people, 600,000 adult males, not including woman and children, and a large "mixed multitude" of non-Hebrews who joined them to leave Egypt on that day, and began the 50-day trek to Sinai awaiting the promised land.

15 Nisan – (4 BCE) – John the Baptist born

Hebrew ascetic viewed as a prophet by Christianity as well as Islam, Bahai, and others, born six months before Jesus
16 Nisan – (1273 BCE) – Manna ends
- On the 16th of Nisan of the Hebrew year 2488 (1273 BCE), six days after the Children of Israel entered the Holy Land under the leadership of Joshua, their remaining supply of the miraculous "bread from heaven," which had sustained them since shortly after their exodus from Egypt 40 years earlier, ran out. (The manna had ceased falling on the previous Adar 7, the day of Moses' death.) After bringing the "Omer" offering at the Sanctuary they erected at Gilgal, the people prepared their (unleavened) bread for the first time from the produce of the land.
16 Nisan – (523 BCE) – Esther appears before Achashverosh
- On the 3rd day of the fast proclaimed by Mordechai at her behest (see above, Nisan 13), Queen Esther appeared unsummoned before King Achashverosh, which is a capital offence itself. The king, however, extended the royal sceptre to her, signifying his consent that she approach him. Esther requested that Achashverosh attend a private wine party with her and Haman (according to one opinion in the Talmud, her plan was to make Achashverosh jealous of her apparent friendship with Haman so that he would kill them both, thus saving the Jewish people from Haman's decree).

Glander

The page heading of the 1970 NWT at Matthew 14:7 (pg 1070) says-

"John beheaded. 5,000 fed....

Always thought that was kind of a weired headline.
