January 7th, 2024 – Imagine Herod enjoying his reign in relative power and being visited by a caravan of magi from the East.  They were astronomers, philosophers… men of nature, men of science.   But they knew of the prophecy and upon seeing this sign from God as a star, they followed it.  Upon arriving, I’m sure Herod was impressed with his audience but that soon waned when he learned, these visitors from the East were not there for him but for the baby of who all the Old Testament books had foretold of many years before.  The promise of a new Kingdom and a new King.

Matthew 2:1-6
