METANOIA means = a real change in mind and attitude towards sin itself. It's a noun. Matthew 2:16. Then Herod when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth , and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men . A act of murder happened against children 2 and under. Here's the question. Was herod acting on his own accord ? Or was satan behind this ? Be honest.

The wise men were looking for the "born king" of the Jews. That meant Herod's dynasty was at an end. There can only be one king at a time. Herod knew by the wise men that his son would never be king. Of course satan was behind this. He knew he had but a short time.
