I have listened to the commentary and read the comments but feel that we have missed an important lesson. these men left home, family to embark on a long, expensive and possibly dangerous journey....why.... to worship the Christ child. they brought gifts fit for a king. and after they left Herod, and saw the star again, they rejoiced. Makes me think about our comfort zone (and mine too)....Some of us will not go across town to worship, we will not share our finances to worship or fall down to worship the Child. Makes me think.
@Bert Clayton no, I think you are reading too much into that. There are many references to the one from Ethiopia and there is a strong probability that they came from different countries at that time in the region.
My best reading on these men were that they were very educated for their time, that they studied much more than just astrology, and that they had good communication with each other. Otherwise seeing that they lived in separate lands, how did they manage to see the sign, assemble together and travel together for this fortuitous event?
@@shortvideos6689 I disagree, you can believe how you want. I will believe how I want. If you don't believe Christ is the Holy Messiah, the Son of God, and a God Himself, why watch Christian videos?
The Magi would very likely have had the book of Daniel, so would have known when to look as well, “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. Work this one out for yourselves, it is correct to they year of the birth of Christ, the Anointed One.
@agus kurniawan jom While in Babylon, because of his ability to interpret dreams and prophecy, Daniel was appointed as leader of those Magii. It seems highly likely that he would have educated generations of Magii about the coming of the Savior of the world.
Zoroastrians believed in a messiah figure too so they probably recognized Jesus as the awaited one which has been prophesied in their Avestas (Zoroastrian holy books).
Matthew 2:11 mentions gold frankincense and myrrh specifically. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:11 KJB
Incense is found mainly in Oman. One of the kings was Omani. Spice from India, an Indian king and the gold, Sheba, an African king. This is my own conclusion! Happy New Year 2020
Truly these men were the keepers of the torch of knowledge. I love it when they tell Herod "you are not the true king we seek." Jesus had a troubled relationship with the Pharasise who professed themselves to be wise. Who will carry the Spiratual knowledge in the future? We must continue seek. Follow that Star.
Three men coming across the desert are in danger of bandits, horrific dust storms and wild animals, they would have a hard time. At some point they would have been alone because they had to meet with each other or take the entire trip alone.They would have needed guards, pack animals, food, water and a guide. If they passed through hostile land they would have to pay off the owner. I am writing a book about these men and have done lot of research, it was not a walk in the park.
@@rizalitogomba6303 We know His Name is Yashua but there is no J in the Jewish alphabet which is why Gentiles know Him as Jesus. It's from the Greek. Christ means the Massiah the Chosen one of God.

It was Daniels involvement that would’ve given this info to the magi or magicians of the Babylonian kings. They weren’t kings but they were responsible in choosing kings. Because of Daniel they would’ve know about the Jewish king.
Do you really believe man can change gods plan? then why believe in being anything at all other than that what you are? Become some religious man, some believer in words, you think god created you to worship him, that would be a self deprecating god, creates man to pray to him, what utter fantasy bullshit is that?
Seems the Magi's particulars are of more historic interest than are the gifts they brought. And more-- *why* they were brought in the first place. The "why" is the matter of importance. We quibble about who's right and who's wrong, and miss the whole reason, the astounding significance, of the revolutionary arrival.
@@christopherhernandez3909 There is no description of the ‘Magi’[A], in the Gospel of Matthew (the only one of the four Gospels to even mention them) other than that they were ‘from the east’ and that they were following a Star in the East that they thought signified the birth of a new King. We are not given how long they traveled, their nationalities, or even how many there were. According to the Bible-dictionary.org: “In the Gospel of St. Matthew, ch. (Matthew 2:1-12) the Magi appear as "wise men"-properly Magians-who were guided by a star from "the east" to Jerusalem, where they suddenly appeared in the days of Herod the Great, inquiring for the new-born king of the Jews, whom they had come to worship. As to the country from which they came, opinions vary greatly; but their following the guidance of a star seems to point to the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, where astronomy was Cultivated by the Chaldeans.” The orator, herself, said that they were probably Jews whom lived in Babylon; which was east of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. So I’d like to know where he gets the Idea that they would have been “priests of the Persian prophet Zoroaster” A. Some translations render it ‘mages’ or ‘wise men’

They were the Chaldeans from Babylon bringing the treasure of Daniel, who was a very wealthy when he died, to be given to Jeshua. His parents used this treasure to escape Harod's murder spree of the children.

The wise men did not go to the manger. They visited the house where they saw the young child and his Mother! It was a caravan, which is much more the three wise men. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

If they were so literate in the scriptures, why did they not get that it was Bethlehem? The pharisees had to tell them at the palace of Herod. I believe, they weren't Jewish but for some reason they knew that the star (astrology) was somehow telling about an important king. Otherwise nobody would walk this far and long to worship that king. They also quite reasonably would not habe travelled alone but with a whole caravan I believe. That is why all of Jerusalem noticed their arrival. To me they're still a mystery but I love the symbolism of their gifts and I love their sincere hearts. There's a lot to take from this story.
John 3:16 and Isaiah 53...& a side note what are those horn looking things at the end of that video on the camel in front of that person riding a camel?
I really loved this!! This may be a lesson to all of those Bible Thumpers who say that Jeremiah 10:2-4 is saying that cutting down a tree in the forest, bringing it in the home, and decorating is idolatry. Isaiah 60:13 says something different! Read the glorious Word of God and be enlightened!!
Excellent teaching. Also if they came from Babylon they may have known the book of Daniel and could calculate the 70 X 7 prophesy. Then they could have known that Messiah would be cut off in the 483rd year subtracting 30 years for the age of a new priest. The star was their verification of that year.
We do NOT decorate our homes and churches with the Christmas three because of Isaiah, but because we borrowed an old pagan tradition. Read more about it. Though Isaiah have mentioned those wood species, the vast majority of Christians have no idea about it.
Maybe this was asked but I couldn’t check every comment. I was engaged in the answer until you said it took 2 years to arrive or traveled 2 years via camels. But from where you said they traveled from it would only take 2-6 weeks. They must have come from way farther out but had Jewish ties. Any insights on the travel time?
It doesnt take 2 years to travel from ethiopia or middle east going to israel. Something doesnt make sense. How can they be gentiles if theyre somewhere from babylon after exile? And where did they get the line in the song.. we 3 kings of orient are...? Pls check. Thank you
Beginning at 0:48, Mrs. Rebecca Holt Stay correctly states that of the jews taken into captivity to Babylon, most never returned, and that Babylon was a center of learning for the jews. But then at 1:02 she says “That’s where the wise men came from,” which is a personal hypothesis unsupported either by scripture or secular history. She should have qualified it as such--a personal hypothesis-rather than stating it as though it were fact. Then at 1:27 she says, “If you’re coming to worship the king of the jews, odds are you are jewish...” This is an uneducated statement. She then goes on to say, “...and you’re reading about him in a jewish book...” An equally unsupported hypothesis. There was nothing “jewish” about the ancient Persians, but it was the non-jewish Persians (Cyrus, specifically) who freed the jews from captivity and who built the Second Temple for them in Jerusalem. The jews were incapable of doing either. Well before 1,000 BC the Persian prophet Zoroaster prophesied, centuries before Isaiah, the coming of a “savior” who would be “born of a virgin.” Moreover, ancient Chinese writings of the Han dynasty, 5 BC, chronicle a brilliant comet lasting for seventy (70) days. There were very wise men in Persia and China.
nice question.please add: if they were jewish why would it take them two years to travel from a place that would normally take four to five months to travel? when they entered betlehem to ask about the whereabout of JESUS, they have with them an INTERPRETER. why would a jew need an interpreter to talk to a fellow jew?
HalleluY&H 👑All authority in heaven and on earth have been given to Molkhiúl (King) Yahshua: Yahusha: Immanuel ImmanuYaohu YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY!' - Man-YÁOHU (Mathew: 28:18a.
The magi from the east were from the same order in which the prophet Daniel belonged to. Remember that in Babylon during the time of captivity, Daniel rose to become the chief magus of the king's court. He also prophesied the exact timing of the coming of the Messiah (Daniel 9:25-27) and counted how many years still to come. After the captivity, Daniel was one of the Jews who remained behind. I think we can safely deduce that he continued the order and passed on the secret of when is the Messiah coming in Jerusalem and instructed the next generations of magi to prepare for it and go to Jerusalem when the time has come. So the worship and homage that the magi from the east gave to Jesus was indirectly came from the prophet Daniel.
The book of Isaiah is a prophetic book about the millennial kingdom of Yahusha Jesus when Israel is lifted up from among all nations. You can’t just lift snippets of verses from it and allude it to the birth of the Messiah. You have to read the whole chapter (60:1-22) to understand that Isaiah did not write it for his time, or to prophesy the birth of Jesus. He was talking about the regathering of Israel. All the verses are intertwined with each other that chopping it up or going back and forth will totally confuse whoever is watching the video.
There could have been 300 wise men. I like to think of them, filled with the wisdom of Persia and Babylon, with Chaldean astronomy still preserved on clay tablets. In the Islamic world guided tour at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan there is an ancient astrolabe. It has disks for each major Mideast city, which show how to navigate across the desert using the stars to each city. The bones of prehistoric camels have been found in the arctic. They were huge, though of course, long gone before the magi.
Becouse Herod was a king in Betlehem, the land of Yudea. They have to permit to the king on Betlehem Area when they want to come to see and praise him, king in baby christ _ where "king of jews was born"? . They come from a far as foreign in Betlehem when time of christ was born.
Allowed to add information from bible they faund child in home ( star shine stop on it). They need two years traveled from babel/persia/etiopia to Bethlehem. Wise man go back. Later what going on? With News of the birth of the new king baby, ...and then to maked Herod anggry bear. He made ruled and command : All child under two years old have to killed. So sad this part for mothers baby, to see losing their baby becouse babys was killing. Mothers in rama refused to be comforted. But the angel in dream of joseph ...lets go bring the child escape to Egypt.
This last picture depicts them as bowing to a baby, Jesus was no longer a babe when they arrived but a young child of 2, the story is still incorrectly told.
The picture also depicts them as three men riding their camels, alone. I doubt seriously they traveled two years without a huge caravan of supplies and protection.
You are right there are some inconsistencies like the narrator said the wise men take at least 2 years of travel.from their place up to Israel. Did she even consider how far the distance, is Ethiopia that far?
If they came from middle east and euthopia why they traveled years to reach israel??? They arrived in the house of mary, the baby is already 2years old.
It actually does not say Jesus was 2 years old. It only says that Herod killed all the babies that were two years and under. That could mean that Jesus was two, but it also more likely means that Herod was just being careful to kill any child under a certain age to make sure he got the child. And, if you study more about the age of Herod, you would also know that if Jesus was two, Herod would already be dead according to the Gospels and their account of Tiberius Caesar and John starting his ministry 30 years later. Jesus simply had to be younger than two, as Herod died in 4 BC.
The other statement reads: the dromedaries of Midian, Ephah, all they from Sheba shall come. The named countries are actually the origins of dromedaries, which indeed originated there. They have nothing to do with any of the wise men being black or from Sheba or from Midian or Ephah. The camels are the running camels literally, able to cover great distances. I wonder if you heard yourself talking in this video, please, watch a replay. I am not-native English speaker and even to me the interpretation of the statements is very clear.
This is absolutely true, it was prophesied that they would return with the gold, frankincense and myrrh, they were keeping it safe, it was from the cave of treasures where Adam and Eve first lived.🕊️🎶📯
hey hey another conflict, africa is not east of jerusalem study gold of solomon sheba and ophir is in the same place. because ophir and sheba are brothers. those king travel for two years from east. that is why king harod kill all babies two years and below. you must study hard they are oriental people from Isles of the sea. east multitude isles of the sea. like what isaiah said about isles.
Wise Men and Women still seek Him.
I have listened to the commentary and read the comments but feel that we have missed an important lesson. these men left home, family to embark on a long, expensive and possibly dangerous journey....why.... to worship the Christ child. they brought gifts fit for a king. and after they left Herod, and saw the star again, they rejoiced.

Thank you
thanx for a wonderful job
They were wise men and you are a wise woman who described it beautifully.
I really loved this!! This may be a lesson to all of those Bible Thumpers who say that Jeremiah 10:2-4 is saying that cutting down a tree in the forest, bringing it in the home, and decorating is idolatry. Isaiah 60:13 says something different! Read the glorious Word of God and be enlightened!!
my love songs Read it again, Isaiah is talking about idolatry we should not do that
This sounds interesting, but Sheba was Yemen, not Ethiopia.
she is ethiopian
Excellent teaching. Also if they came from Babylon they may have known the book of Daniel and could calculate the 70 X 7 prophesy. Then they could have known that Messiah would be cut off in the 483rd year subtracting 30 years for the age of a new priest. The star was their verification of that year.
Exactly
Where...dis it say that there were 3?????
The video does not say there were three, it simply states that because of three gifts it has been interpreted to mean three wise men.
BLESSINGS TO YOU MOMMA AND YOUR FAMILY FOR THE SWEETEST WORD OF GOD.AMEN HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH THANK YOU GOD. 🙏❤❤❤🙏
Thank you for the info to widen our understanding❣️ Hallelujah. 🤴🤩
Beautiful teaching.
Lovely woman.
We do NOT decorate our homes and churches with the Christmas three because of Isaiah, but because we borrowed an old pagan tradition. Read more about it. Though Isaiah have mentioned those wood species, the vast majority of Christians have no idea about it.
Maybe this was asked but I couldn’t check every comment. I was engaged in the answer until you said it took 2 years to arrive or traveled 2 years via camels. But from where you said they traveled from it would only take 2-6 weeks. They must have come from way farther out but had Jewish ties. Any insights on the travel time?
There is a lot of debate on how long it would take, and really no way to know for sure.
i also saw the big star in the sky called (tala) it was verry huge but it last only 5 mins then vanished
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️merry christmas y’all
Those men studied the stars, they were astrologers. They were not jewish.
It doesnt take 2 years to travel from ethiopia or middle east going to israel. Something doesnt make sense.
How can they be gentiles if theyre somewhere from babylon after exile?
And where did they get the line in the song.. we 3 kings of orient are...?
Pls check. Thank you
Beginning at 0:48, Mrs. Rebecca Holt Stay correctly states that of the jews taken into captivity to Babylon, most never returned, and that Babylon was a center of learning for the jews. But then at 1:02 she says “That’s where the wise men came from,” which is a personal hypothesis unsupported either by scripture or secular history. She should have qualified it as such--a personal hypothesis-rather than stating it as though it were fact. Then at 1:27 she says, “If you’re coming to worship the king of the jews, odds are you are jewish...” This is an uneducated statement. She then goes on to say, “...and you’re reading about him in a jewish book...” An equally unsupported hypothesis. There was nothing “jewish” about the ancient Persians, but it was the non-jewish Persians (Cyrus, specifically) who freed the jews from captivity and who built the Second Temple for them in Jerusalem. The jews were incapable of doing either. Well before 1,000 BC the Persian prophet Zoroaster prophesied, centuries before Isaiah, the coming of a “savior” who would be “born of a virgin.” Moreover, ancient Chinese writings of the Han dynasty, 5 BC, chronicle a brilliant comet lasting for seventy (70) days. There were very wise men in Persia and China.
Agreed. I couldn't believe all the unsubstantiated statements she made.
Sino yong San Pedro?
If there were Jews, how did they think it would be great idea to come to Herodes and inform him about new king has been born?
doesn't sound very wise, does it?
I love your question..
Not Jews, but half blood Israelites. As mentioned, not all of the ten tribes captured to Babylon at the time of Daniel, returned.
nice question.please add: if they were jewish why would it take them two years to travel from a place that would normally take four to five months to travel? when they entered betlehem to ask about the whereabout of JESUS, they have with them an INTERPRETER. why would a jew need an interpreter to talk to a fellow jew?

Is there any further mention of the gold?
What do you mean? In this video? Or in other sources?
@@messagesofChrist in other sources. I have not noticed any display of wealth in the Bible.
The Bible has 336 references to "gold" so I'm not seeing what you want more than that?
@@messagesofChrist gold in Christ's pockets. Where did his birthday gift go?
The magi from the east were from the same order in which the prophet Daniel belonged to. Remember that in Babylon during the time of captivity, Daniel rose to become the chief magus of the king's court. He also prophesied the exact timing of the coming of the Messiah (Daniel 9:25-27) and counted how many years still to come. After the captivity, Daniel was one of the Jews who remained behind. I think we can safely deduce that he continued the order and passed on the secret of when is the Messiah coming in Jerusalem and instructed the next generations of magi to prepare for it and go to Jerusalem when the time has come. So the worship and homage that the magi from the east gave to Jesus was indirectly came from the prophet Daniel.
Can anyone tell me the painting at 1:06 in the video?
Image credits are at the end of the video with time stamps.
Awesome!
The book of Isaiah is a prophetic book about the millennial kingdom of Yahusha Jesus when Israel is lifted up from among all nations. You can’t just lift snippets of verses from it and allude it to the birth of the Messiah. You have to read the whole chapter (60:1-22) to understand that Isaiah did not write it for his time, or to prophesy the birth of Jesus. He was talking about the regathering of Israel. All the verses are intertwined with each other that chopping it up or going back and forth will totally confuse whoever is watching the video.
I have been thinking about those three being the 3 wise men. Bible repeats itself over and over again.
There could have been 300 wise men. I like to think of them, filled with the wisdom of Persia and Babylon, with Chaldean astronomy still preserved on clay tablets. In the Islamic world guided tour at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan there is an ancient astrolabe. It has disks for each major Mideast city, which show how to navigate across the desert using the stars to each city. The bones of prehistoric camels have been found in the arctic. They were huge, though of course, long gone before the magi.
We're they Astrologers ?
If they knew the scriptures why did they have to ask Herod what town the Christ child would be in?
Becouse Herod was a king in Betlehem, the land of Yudea. They have to permit to the king on Betlehem Area when they want to come to see and praise him, king in baby christ _ where "king of jews was born"? . They come from a far as foreign in Betlehem when time of christ was born.
Allowed to add information from bible they faund child in home ( star shine stop on it). They need two years traveled from babel/persia/etiopia to Bethlehem. Wise man go back. Later what going on? With News of the birth of the new king baby, ...and then to maked Herod anggry bear. He made ruled and command : All child under two years old have to killed. So sad this part for mothers baby, to see losing their baby becouse babys was killing. Mothers in rama refused to be comforted. But the angel in dream of joseph ...lets go bring the child escape to Egypt.
Ive noticed some of the videos and pics are copy rights from lds church :)
Love this
Bravo. A sound explanation of prophecy
Very well done, in a relaxed, matter-of-fact, and respectful manner. I also enjoyed the clips from The Life of Jesus Christ Bible videos. Thank you.
This last picture depicts them as bowing to a baby, Jesus was no longer a babe when they arrived but a young child of 2, the story is still incorrectly told.
The picture also depicts them as three men riding their camels, alone. I doubt seriously they traveled two years without a huge caravan of supplies and protection.
You are right there are some inconsistencies like the narrator said the wise men take at least 2 years of travel.from their place up to Israel. Did she even consider how far the distance, is Ethiopia that far?
Maybe they started their journeys two years before He was born?
Oh to be a "doubter or Know it all" someday when I grow up.....every man's goal, right?
If they came from middle east and euthopia why they traveled years to reach israel??? They arrived in the house of mary, the baby is already 2years old.
It actually does not say Jesus was 2 years old. It only says that Herod killed all the babies that were two years and under. That could mean that Jesus was two, but it also more likely means that Herod was just being careful to kill any child under a certain age to make sure he got the child. And, if you study more about the age of Herod, you would also know that if Jesus was two, Herod would already be dead according to the Gospels and their account of Tiberius Caesar and John starting his ministry 30 years later. Jesus simply had to be younger than two, as Herod died in 4 BC.
The other statement reads: the dromedaries of Midian, Ephah, all they from Sheba shall come. The named countries are actually the origins of dromedaries, which indeed originated there. They have nothing to do with any of the wise men being black or from Sheba or from Midian or Ephah. The camels are the running camels literally, able to cover great distances. I wonder if you heard yourself talking in this video, please, watch a replay. I am not-native English speaker and even to me the interpretation of the statements is very clear.
very interesting
Thank you for confirming
This has fragmented my own doctrines
This is absolutely true, it was prophesied that they would return with the gold, frankincense and myrrh, they were keeping it safe, it was from the cave of treasures where Adam and Eve first lived.🕊️🎶📯
it helped me a lot with my t.s eliots presentation . thanks
hey hey another conflict, africa is not east of jerusalem
study gold of solomon sheba and ophir is in the same place. because ophir and sheba are brothers.
those king travel for two years from east. that is why king harod kill all babies two years and below.
you must study hard they are oriental people from Isles of the sea. east multitude isles of the sea. like what isaiah said about isles.
In my opinion I believe amongst the wise ment were nephites who were "never heard from again" including Samuel the laminate
