- NEW!
by Glenn Blaylock on April 30th, 2007
All that we know about them is that which is stated in the second chapter of Matthew. They came from the east and returned there. From just where in the east they came is not known nor do we know how it is that they knew the significance of the star that guided them. We don't even really know how many of them there were. The Bible just says wise men. It has been assumed that there were three because they presented three gifts, but that is just an assumption. So, we really know very little about these men. Just about everything about them is a mystery.
Is there a study guide along with"Know the Bible in 30 Days"?

Christians, does the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) still apply and still matter today? This is a follow up of my first question.

Speaking speculatively, could they have had divine origins?
by Halskiisaklink on April 30th, 2007
I suppose that anything is possible. However, had they been divine, then I don't think that they would have had to go to King Herod to ask after the new king of the Jews. Personally, I wonder if they were representatives from the ten lost tribes of Israel that came to see the new born Savior for themselves and then bare tidings of His birth back to their own people. (For those that aren't familiar with this, the kingdom of Israel split into two nation after the death of Solomon. Ten of the tribes split from Judah and Benjamin to form the northern kingdom of Israel. The inhabitants of this nation were carried away into captivity by the Assyrians in 722 BC and became lost to history.) I, of course, have absolutely no evidence to support the idea that they did represent the Ten Tribes. So, this is just pure speculation on my part.
