Subject: Why did it take the wise men so long... |
Bible Note: Greetings AshestoBeauty! I'm still just guessing, but many believe that Daniel may have educated many in Persia about the coming Messiah. It may simply be that when they saw the "star" appear that they began to investigate and recalled the teachings of Daniel about the coming Messiah. Putting two and two together, they came up with four - which the Jews weren't able to do! :-) This is my best guess! I don't think that the star really had anything to do with it other than alerting them that something unusual was happening. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
