Wise Men

Can you help me sort the chronology of the story of the birth of Jesus and the Wise Men? [Luke 2:39].

What about the "wise men" and their use of the stars, or astrology, to find Jesus? [Micah 5:2].

Who do you think the "wise men" were, and do you think they followed Christ later?

Where did the wise men come from?

Using Daniel 2 & 9, how were the magi able use it or know about Jesus being born?

How could Daniel give insight to Nebuchadnezzar in only his second year of training? Is that why Nebuchadnezzar didn't originally call on them? [Daniel 1:1, Daniel 2:1]

How did the Magi even know to look for a star that was connected w/ the Messiah?

How come the people who journeyed to see Jesus at His birth never came to His ministry to visit Him?

Prophecies of Jesus being born, which parts were fulfilled? (can't ever really articulate what he wants to ask, says he'll call again)

Can you tell me about the biblical Magi?

Why did the star lead the Magi to Jerusalem rather than straight to Bethlehem? If the star led them directly to Jesus, the slaughter of the innocents would've been avoided. What purpose could there have been in alerting the Roman government of the arrival of Israel's King?

How old was Jesus when the Wise men actually caught up with Him?

From where did the wise men (magi) come? Were they pagans? What made them wise men? [Daniel 2, 9].

Why did the wise men go in the first place? Did God direct them? It was a miraculous star? Why astrologers? Did it have something to do w/ the prophecy in Numbers? [Genesis 1:14,Numbers 24:17]

What was the star that lead the wise men to Christ?
