Josephus details his pride, cruelty, and blood-lust, as they supported his merciless and implacable ambition.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">How many babies did Herod murder? Some scholars have\nsuggested as many as 200! &nbsp;Bethlehem was\na small community&#8211;almost a suburb of Jerusalem, so the number is between 20\nand 30.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>There came wise men\nfrom the east<\/em><\/strong>  Or, <em>Magi came from the<\/em> <em>eastern countries<\/em>. The Jews believed that there were prophets in the kingdom of <em>Saba<\/em> and <em>Arabia<\/em> who had been taught about the God of Israel.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">First,\nnot all magi were astrologers, for Daniel the prophet was the <em>chief<\/em> of\nthe magi in Nebuchadnezzar&#8217;s court. Through his influence, undoubtedly many of\nthe magi carried on their religious and political duties as worshippers of the\nOne true God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Second,\nIsaiah predicted that a star would appear when the Messiah was born. The magi\nwho worshipped the newborn king were <em>clearly<\/em> following in Daniel&#8217;s\ntrain, for he almost surely taught them from Isaiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Third,\nclearly, the &#8216;star&#8217; was completely of supernatural origin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a><strong>Verse 2<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>We have seen his star<\/em><\/strong> <br>Having discovered an unusual appearance in the heavens, supposing these persons to have been Jews, and knowing the prophecies relative to the redemption of Israel, they probably considered this to be the <em>star<\/em> mentioned by Balaam in Numbers 24:17.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>To worship him.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> Or, <em>To do him homage. <\/em>The word which is a compound of \u201cto\u201d and \u201cdog\u201d signifying to <em>crouch<\/em> and <em>fawn<\/em> like a dog at his master&#8217;s feet. Americans would recognize this as part of the Muslim prayer tradition.\u00a0 It was used to express both civil and religious reverence.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Matthew 2, taken in\ncontext, demonstrates 3 distinctive reactions to the arrival of the Christ\nchild: 1) ignorant apathy among the residents of Judea \u2013 including civil and\nreligious authorities who simply were not paying attention; 2) shock in the\nsense of fear first exhibited by Herod who instilled such in the religious\nhierarchy as well as the general population given that all understood Herod\u2019s\nmethod of expressing and dealing with challenges to his position; and finally\n3) humble adoration of the wise men who arguably held higher positions within\ntheir cultural milieu than anyone cited in the text.&nbsp; Taken together, the three reactions to Christ\nare quite contemporary in their application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>Scriptural Comparison: This incident couldn\u2019t have\nhappened when Jesus was born since the Magi had\nto travel after they stopped to see Herod.&nbsp; Therefore, the wise men\narrived after Jesus&#8217; birth (Matthew 2:1).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the cunning mind of\nHerod, a plot had already formed to nip this growing bud of Messianic hope\nbefore it got out of hand. It is an amazing thing that Herod did not send his\nservants with them, and that the Jews themselves, stirred up as they were by\nthe report, apparently did not lift a finger to search out the young child. It\nis strange how much the scribes knew, and what little use they made of it. &nbsp;Such is the appalling gulf between religious\nbelief and practice.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So the wise men left\nfor Bethlehem following the star, but note that\nhad they been following the star their entire trip they would have never\nstopped in Jerusalem\nto ask for directions.&nbsp; The Greek is essential: it does not indicate they\nhad been in constant contact with the star their entire journey \u2013 why else\nwould they stop in Jerusalem?&nbsp;\nThey had seen the star which they tied to the statement of Balaam in Numbers 24:17 which specifically speaks of \u201ca\nscepter rising out of Israel.\u201d&nbsp; At this time, Jerusalem\nwas the capitol of Israel\n\u2013 a logical place to come in search of the \u201cking\u201d.&nbsp; Thus, they came to\nJerusalem to make inquiry (if, for no other reason, than to fulfill the\nprophecy concerning the attempted murder of Jesus: Matthew 2:9). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The star was unusual because a normal star does not\nmove in front of a person. A normal star does not appear to move because it is\nhigh in the sky. This was a special, divinely appointed star which led them to\nJesus&#8217; \u201chouse\u201d (Matthew 2:11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So the wise men arrived sometime after Jesus&#8217; birth. They\nwent to Bethlehem and found the young child with Mary, His mother. To Him, they\nfell and worshiped in Oriental style, and presented their gifts of gold, frankincense,\nand myrrh. Unquestionably the gifts were chosen appropriately: gold for His\ndeity and majesty, frankincense for the fragrance of His life and His\nintercession, myrrh for His sacrifice and death. It appears the wise men\narrived sometime between one to two years later according to Matthew 2:16.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Some\nassert that by now the family was living in Nazareth (Luke 2:39), but the more\nlikely scenario is they remained in Bethlehem until the visit of the Magi and\nall left simultaneously \u2013 the family returning from Egypt to Judea upon Herod\u2019s\ndeath.&nbsp; Approaching Judea,\nhowever, Joseph had to be made aware that Archelaus, the son of Herod, was on\nthe throne. One of the first acts of Archelaus was to murder some three\nthousand people in the temple because some of their number had memorialized\nsome martyrs put to death by Herod. Like father, like son. Instead of going\nback to Bethlehem, which Joseph probably\nconsidered a suitable residence for his royal Son, Joseph went instead to Nazareth in Galilee.\nMatthew declares this also was a fulfillment of prophecy: \u201cHe shall be called a\nNazarene\u201d (Matthew 2:23). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Clearly\nGod ordained these wise men to visit Jesus. Scripture doesn\u2019t overtly explain\nwhy, but it demonstrated God&#8217;s faithfulness to His spoken Word in Jeremiah\n31:15. This gives me confidence that He is faithful to me when He says, in His\nword, that He cares for me and will meet my needs as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/graceevfreechurchva.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/jesus-time-line.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2783\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li>Conclusion: So, the magi were men who 1) read and\nbelieved God&#8217;s Word, 2) sought Jesus, 3) recognized the worth of Christ, 4)\nhumbled themselves to worship Him, and 5) obeyed God rather than man. They were\ntruly wise men!&nbsp; Would that we, too, lived\nso.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew 2:1: \u201cNow when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem\u2026.\u201d One of the many questions which comes up at Christmas centers around the wise men.&nbsp;
