<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 6474040, member: 75482"]I tend to think that the pericope of the Star and the Magi is an example of prophesy historicized. There is a famous passage in Numbers (24:17) which, at any early period, was taken as a prophesy of the coming Messiah. By interpreting this 'Star Prophesy' through the words and deeds of the Magi, the evangelist makes the argument that the divine kingship of Jesus was so obvious that even pagan astrologers in distant lands could see it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
