What exactly were these pagan? seer's aware of regarding The Incarnate One?
Had these Eastern mystics studied the Hebrew Prophets?
Had they followed ancient stories of their own tribes? Tales that so happened to line up with Gods handiwork?
What if these Asian prophets had heard the same creation story as the Hebrews? What if the proto-evangelium - the pre-historic news of the One to come - was known throughout the entire Eastern world? Though it was clearly altered by the many nomadic peoples, tribes and nations that distanced themselves from the True God over time.
These magi, according to their study, were fully aware of this cataclysmic event. The coming not only of a divine kingdom to earth but of it's King as well. At least they were aware of something...supernatural.
Maybe it was the long, arduous journey from the East that took years to complete. Mountains and deserts. Warring nations and arrogant kings. Strange tongues and scarce supplies.
Either way, the Dayspring rose in the East and these men were fully aware. Clearly their eyes, minds, yes their guts were awakened to a new life, one worth embarking on such an incredible multi-year ordeal.
This Prophet. This Priest. This King. He is still worth whatever time it takes to realize His eternal significance.
