Wise Men Visit Baby Jesus
A Story of Prophecy Fulfilled
Journey with me, Matthew, as I recount the astonishing visit of the Wise Men to Bethlehem, fulfilling ancient prophecies and challenging the powers of this world. Discover the divine hand guiding events in ancient Israel.
The Journey from the East
Hearken, and I shall tell you a tale, a truth from the very beginning of the good news of Jesus, the Messiah. It was not so long ago, in the days when Herod, a man whose crown rested uneasily upon his head, ruled over Judea in Israel.
Judea was a land under the heavy hand of Rome. Every coin bore Caesar's image, and every tax collector reminded us of our subjugation. Yet, even amidst such earthly dominion, a greater King was born, a King whose dominion was not of this world, though His coming would shake its foundations.
Now, it came to pass that after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."
