Bible Question: WHERE DID THE MAGI'S THAT PRESENTED THE LORD GIFTS CAME FROM, AND WHAT WAS THEIR RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND? |
Bible Answer: The "Magi" were not magicians. The KJV translates this wrong. Magi were the Cochim of the Hebrew Bible. They were the Princes of Israel that lived in Babylon. Before the written word, the Jews were given God's Word in the Heavens. The stars were their roadmap. The Cochim waited for the star to come so that they could follow it to the promised Messiah. If they were Magi they would have been killed by the Jews. Magi were not allowed to live as they were performing witchcraft. |
