Matthew 2: 1-2 ” After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the East came to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the East and have come to worship Him.’ “

When that brilliant star rose in the East that Christmas night, it confirmed a prophecy spoken long before by the Prophet Balaam in Numbers 24:17, ” 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.” The Messiah had come…the King of Kings and Lord of Lords…Christ Jesus was His name.
