Scripture: Matthew 2: Verse 11

The Three Wise Men were Gentiles who came from the East that may include, but not limited to: Arabia, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Sheba or Saba (Isa. 60: 6) to Bethlehem in Judea, at the birth of Jesus Christ and during the reign of king Herod.

They were philosophers, men of learning who were curious in examining the works of nature and studying the motions of the heavenly bodies.

They were wise in that they were versed in the Holy Scriptures and acquainted with the prophecies of the Prophets. This knowledge guided them to the One and True God.

God favored them with some extra-ordinary revelations as He did to others who were not of the seed of Abraham. At the fulfillment of prophecy, a star in the East, by divine illumination, escorted them to Bethlehem in Judea to Worship and to pay Homage to the child Jesus Christ.

They brought gifts of: GOLD that is symbolic of the royalty, divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ. FRANKINCENSE that represent the holiness, righteousness, glory, power and presence of God in the baby Jesus Christ. MYRRH that depict the birth, life, suffering, bitterness, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for mankind that whosoever believe in Him should not perish, but have eternal life and inherit the Kingdom of God. (1 Tim. 1: 16).
