1 | Magi a "God experience" apart from OT? | Dan 9:24 | tlewis | 134056 | ||
Question: Are the Magi an example of God's interaction with a non-Hebrew people? If you believe the Bible, specifically Romans 1:20, which basically indicates that each individual who ever lived on this earth is accountable before God without any excuse, haven't you ever wondered how other people groups interacted with God? Certainly other people groups must have. And so we look to find examples of such. Is the Magi story an example of such an event when God in his sovereignty must have reached out and enlightened their minds so that they would search out the King of the Jews and worship Him [matthew 2:1-2] apart from the teaching from Old Testament books? If their knowledge was based on Old Testament scripture one would assume that they would have known that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem which they apparently did not. This event begs the question: how long and in what way did the people who the Magi represented know God and if they knew God was it due to teachings that had come from some Hebrew or as a direct consequence of searching for the Creator? |
