    The contrast between the humble wise men from the east, who had traveled far, and the unwillingness of King Herod and the chief priests in Jerusalem to go 5 miles is what stuck with me from this video. First, it speaks to their faith and devotion. Second, it made me think: how often do we think we have to do something great in a far off land, but we neglect to do the small and simple good thing that is in our own realm of influence?

      If there WERE just 3. As the video points out, it likely was a lot more than 3, for safety in traveling a long distance transporting expensive items. Robbers are less like to attack a caravan of 50 than of 3.

    Thanks for doing this video. I know a lot of people like to excuse themselves from repenting of their sins, because they like to think that God is sovereign over their choices. The fact of the matter is that he did give us our agency to choose him or not.

    • @redfaux74

      I would agree with that. That's one of the big reasons I chose to attend a Free Will Baptist church.
      Calvinism rots every 75 years, grows a few moldy spores, resurfaces for 50 years and rots again. It is a blight on the character of a Holy God. If there are no choices we could make then there would be no word "choice" or "choose".
      But don't get stuck on that this Christmas. Enjoy the gift. Argue later.

    I like to think that they were Zoroastrians, who followed a religion related to Judaism and would have also known the prophecies. The Jews always seemed to look beyond the mark. However, the idea that they were Jews from Babylon (at this time Persia) is certainly credible. In either event, this is a beautiful, well made video with great authenticity. Jesus was and is the Messiah. I was touched to see the emotion on the face of the Magi, as he saw the Messiah.

      You're actually right. It is not speculation: History has it that, indeed they were Zoroastrian priest kings who actually believed and hoped for the birth of a divine child. That's why they had been studying the stars for generations in hopeful expectation. So, while this info is extra-biblical, we actually know who they were and where they came from.

    More info on the wise men, In Brother Yun's book "Living Waters", he described that during this time period that one of their astrologers saw the sign in the sky and departed west to find the new king. Yun is a Chinese Christian with a incredible testimony. Also don't remember the source but there might of been an Ethiopian wise man that also made the journey.

    I have always been intrigued by the wisemen from a very young age which led me to researching as much as was available about their origins . Using historical and biblical facts with some imagination and intuition I have written a script about a possible story line and how they came to Bethlehem. I too believe that there were more than three and they were definitely of Jewish descent from very different parts of the world who came together by destiny and the incredible faith they had in the Lord God of Israel.

    After all the discussions and pretending and conjectures....no person will come to a pure knowledge of the origin of these " wise men " ..unless they come genuinely seeking truth, wisdom and light. Their origin has been revealed to those who have sought the Holy Spirit without any guile. This knowledge is held as a pearl and not to be cast before the feet of those who would trample it underfoot. The greatest benefit of knowing the origin of these special ambassadors is the effect it has on one's heart as this knowledge helps to draw one closer to God.

Follow these 3 stars in a downward line and they ALWAYS point to the brightest star in the sky, Sirius also known as the Dog Star. (Perhaps the star of Bethlehem).

      Yep pretty close....contrary to popular Christmas tradition which came into being centuries after Jeus died, the Bible does not use the terms “three wise men” or “three kings” to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth. (Matthew 2:1) Instead, the Gospel writer Matthew used the Greek word ma’goi to describe those who visited Jesus. The word likely refers to experts in astrology and other occult practices. A number of Bible translations call them “astrologers” or “magi.” Interestingly Herodotus, a Greek historian of the fifth century B.C.E., said that the ma’goi of his day belonged to a Median (Persian) tribe that specialized in astrology and interpretation of dreams. So they definitely were not Jews as the Jews did not practice astrology or spiritism of any sort as this was forbidden and would carry the death penalty according to the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:9-13 - Levitucus 20:27 @@earlysda

      @kableguy5525 ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting! The Biblical facts show that 550 years or so after Daniel lived these astrologers (interpreters of the stars) from the east were servants of false gods and were, wittingly or unwittingly, were the ONLY ONES led by what appeared to them as a moving “star.” directly not to Jesus but to Herod first! They alerted Herod to the fact that the “king of the Jews” had been born, and Herod, in turn, sought to have Jesus killed - Mt 2:1-12 (notice they didn't say our King as they would have had they been Jews). This was all part of a plot to kill Jesus. The star that led them to Herod was of demonic origin. Would God have used Jews as part of this plot to have his own son killed? Of course not and so God intervened and warned these astrologers not to tell Herod and return home.
      Rightly, then ancient writers - Justin Martyr, Origen, and Tertullian, when reading Matthew 2:1, thought of maʹgoi as astrologers and not Jews. Wrote Tertullian (“On Idolatry,” IX): “We know the mutual alliance of magic and astrology. The interpreters of the stars, then, were the first . . . to present Him [Jesus] ‘gifts.’” (The Ante-Nicene Fathers, 1957, Vol. III, p. 65) The name Magi became current “as a generic term for astrologers in the East.”​-The New Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia, 1952, Vol. 22, p. 8076.
      Of course the Astrologers as well as others in those days may have had access to the written Jewish prophecies from scrolls in Babylon, Persia and Assyria about the Jewish messiah (or heard about the 70 weeks of years Daniel prophecy) due to the fact the Jews had been scattered to other regions centuries previously at the Jewish exile as well as before this and so had Bible scrolls with them as they went.@@earlysda

    We know that Daniel rose to prominence in his captivity in Babylon, where he was placed as overseer of the Magi there - seems he would have taught them his faith, and the prophecies, and centuries later these had been passed down from generation to generation and the Magi knew the prophecies from these being passed down to them.

    It’s been said they were those to put Kings into power. They were astronomers for sure which is how they knew to read the stars. Daniel certainly had an influence in that society which is how they came to know of the Jewish faith. Scholars also have said they weren’t there on the actual night of his birth.

    I think Matthew's gospel had it right. The Magi were Zoroastrian priests from Persia who saw signs in the stars that led them to Jesus's birth.

    The wise men came from Arabia, which is to the East.
    Lehi traveled through Arabia and taught the gospel along the way. Hence, there was a righteous, informed, population of gospel followers (members of the Church) in Arabia who would know all the prophecies of the Savior and so be fully prepared for His coming (just like the Nephites).

    As you must know, there are Orthodox Christians who follow the Old Calendar. That's the Julian calendar which was in use while Christ was on the earth, for His earthly life. Christmas for these Orthodox Christians happens on January 7th. Theophany occurs on January 19th. The reason for keeping the original time keeping that was used in the time of Christ is to maintain the same timing that is used in heaven, acco rding

    They did leave their homes when the star appeared. It was approx 2,000 klm from Jerusalem and probably took the better part of 2 years. Notice where the Wiseman met Jesus. Herod also gave a decree to kill all baby boys 2 and under. Read Matthew chapter 1 that will help you understand the entire Christmas story in context.

    Thank you for not supporting the idea that the wise men were star worshippers who knew about Salvation through astrological charts and other pagan enchantments, but found the knowledge of the Savior through the Holy Writings. Also, it may be possible that the gold was given as a gift so that Joseph and Mary could purchase a Torah scroll and other expensive scrolls of Scripture. They did go into exile in Egypt and when Jesus was only 13, He seemed to have a profound and superior knowledge of Scripture. Torah scrolls were very very expensive, hand-scribed, certified and only practical to keep at synagogues were many people lived as a city/group (not so much in Egypt) and personal ownership would be worthy of a rich person or royalty only. God bless.

    It is not speculation: History has it that they were actually Zoroastrian priest kings who believed and hoped for the birth of a divine child. That's why they had been studying the stars for generations in hopeful expectation. So, while this info is extra-biblical, we actually know who they were and where they came from. Their names: Melchoir, Gasper and Balthazar are also historical facts.

    They also used the Frankincense and Myrrh to anoint the dead bodies with and the gold used to purchase a tomb when he died. So they could have foretold of Jesus' death.
