Matthew tells us that, “Magi from the East came to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is the One Who has been born King of the Jews?'” These wise men were ancient astrologers interpreting astronomical phenomena, all the while searching through the writings of others for interpretation. In the fourth book of the Pentateuch, Moses wrote about God’s revealed message, “I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel.” (Numbers 24:17) So they knew that a future Ruler would come out of Jacob…and when this star arose (whether it was some planetary conjunction, supernova, or something purely supernatural) they tied everything together and set off to see this King for themselves. “And nations shall come to Your light, and kings to the brightness of Your rising.” (Isaiah 60:3)
