Mt:2:1: Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Can any Servant of Jesus explain why they translated the original Greek word “magoi” to “wise men”?
In the original Old Testament perception the word “magoi” referred to false prophets, evil magicians, a person like Balaam.
Why would men like Balaam be coming to see the baby Jesus?
In the Old Testament Balaam was a magoi that taught the heathen how to curse Israel and Judah.
Could this be yet another sign of truth?
