Let us start with the Wiseman. It is reported that they came from the east. But yet they traveled west when today they say they followed the Eastern Star. It's like wake up! If you are from Iran or India and you travel to Jerusalem, you are following the Western Star. Easter as a word is from the goddess Ishtar. The practice of secular Easter follows the practice of worshipping Ishtar.
I believe it was more than astrology that brought the Wiseman westward to see a newborn King. I believe it was political also. Another name for people in power are called magistrates. These Wiseman were called Magi. The question is, was the things the Magi did, was it called magic? History would make science into a myth and reverse what logic would reveal. Today the Wisemen is little known and replaced by Santa Claus.
Matthew 2:1-15
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
And when Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them where the Christ was to be born. And they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet:
"And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,
Are by no means least among the leaders of Judah; For out of you shall come forth a Leader who will shepherd My people Israel.’”
Then Herod secretly called the magi and carefully determined from them the time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him.”
Now after hearing the king, they went their way; and behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, was going on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And after coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi departed for their own country by another way.
This is the report Matthew written down for all time. This is more than a child's bedtime story. It's not fiction. These were ambassadors from other nations. The question is, why was King Herod and people of Jerusalem so afraid of a little boy? Why did the Magi avoid Jerusalem and quietly leave Judea? No doubt that they knew that this boy Yahusha was to be a Great King someday. By going to Him, the Magi revealed the secret.
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.” So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and departed for Egypt. And he remained there until the death of Herod, in order that what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
In order for someone to understand something is to have them somewhat aware of the situation in the first place. Joseph the carpenter's dad is not talked about in the Bible. But by Joseph choosing Egypt, he knew he and his family would be welcomed there. Egypt was controlled by Romans and previously the Macedonians. By going into exile by night, it was a very serious situation. Once again, why would a King hate a boy so much? I believe by the morning light, Matthew 2:16-23 happened.
Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully determined from the magi.
Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children;
And she was refusing to be comforted, because they were no more.”
But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, “Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child’s life are dead.”
So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being warned by God in a dream, he departed for the district of Galilee, and came and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets would be fulfilled: “He shall be called a Nazarene.”
The mother of Archelaus was Malthace the Samaritan. She had three sons. They were named Olympias, Herod Antipas, and Herod Archelaus. Herod the Great had a Samaritan placed on a Jewish throne to upset the Jews. It would be Herod Antiapas that would have John the Baptist and Yahusha killed.
Yahusha's grandfather Jacob had the wife called Cleopatra of Jerusalem or Cleopatra the 8th. Latter she would become the last wife of Herod the Great.
By Jewish law at the time, Joseph Ben Jacob did not have a Jewish mother. The Virgin Mary's mother wasn't considered Jewish also because it is said she was a princess from Brittany France. It was Jeremiah the prophet that predicted the events of Matthew 2 and he was also the guy that took King Zedekiah's daughter to Ireland to be married to the High King of the Lost House of Israel. We must look in the book of John to hear what the Priests said to Yahusha that supports this.
The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death—ever.”
John 8:48-51
Did you catch that Yahusha said that He doesn't seek His Glory. As flesh, His greatest potential is King over flesh. As Elohiym that becoming flesh, He is our pathway to Heaven. The temptation Yahusha faced backs this up.
And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this dominion and its glory, for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours.” And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’” Luke 4:5-8
The fallen Cherub Heylel BenSahar, the Devil showed Yahusha showed Yahusha all nations in a moment of time. This said Time Travel. I believe they were looking at nations of different times also. What the devil said was true about the nations having been handed over to him. That's because he scammed them away from Adam and Eve. It's because Noah's son Ham stolen the birthright away from Noah and hid it. Latter it was handled over to Nimrod. Notice that Satan will hand it over to whoever he wants. You know he will not hand it to a simpleton. In the future Satan will hand the world over to Antichrist, the false Jewish Messiah. In other words, somebody qualified. Yahusha is qualified by understanding and birthright to be King of kings over the world. Satan uses truth and then sets people up to make the wrong decision. Satan then condemns those behind failed to Yahuah Elohiym. Notice that Satan did not challenge Yahusha as claiming to be Yahuah Elohiym.
This is saying that by Yahusha Hamashia becoming flesh gave Him the Birthrights. By being Yahuah Elohiym, only He on Earth is worthy to be worshiped. Through Joseph His father, his birthright gives Him the right to be Pharo and Cesar. Through Mary the birthright to be High King of Europe and King over the House of Israel. The Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes takes a submissive place to Yahusha's banner.
As for myself claiming to be a distant Grandson of the Virgin Mary, Joseph the carpenter, Joseph of Arimathea and Mary Magdalene, it is nothing. My King and High Priest is Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ. He still lives and He is coming back. As for Satan's False Messiah and False Prophet, their immortality will be overcome by a Dimension called the Lake of Fire. They will experience the second death without tasting the first death.
Yahusha's Birthrights are interesting and there is no argument from the scriptures. But what is really interesting is that He chose to make a way through Himself for us to experience life eternal in comfort. The world's nations must choose on who their nation is under. Do they serve Satan the deceiver or will they serve Yahusha the King of Kings, High Priest and High Prophet? It all comes down to Adam giving away his dominion of Earth and Life to Satan. Mankind can have dominion for a short time but Life is minimal and you never get it back when time is up.
You must be born again to have life in the afterlife. Life is like light. New eternal life in Yahusha doesn't cast a shadow just like light. It's also multidimensional spilling over into the afterlife. Don't be deceived that new life in Yahusha Hamashia is only pretending. It is real like a Tesseract is real. That's a four dimensional shape that we can only see the shadow of because we are three dimensional. Life is like a tesseract made of light. It can be eternal if you do choose to receive it. The only thing we can see is the fruit of the Spirit.
Experiment: light a match and shine a light on it near a wall. The only shadow you will see is your hand and matchstick, not the flame.
Death has a shadow. We know this by Psalm 23:4. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
It's interesting that Death's shadow is a valley. Meanwhile, Life is like a City on a hill where it's light cannot be hidden.
One more thing nerds to be mentioned and that is found in Revelation five. It is the mystery of the scroll with seven seals. Without speculation, the scroll has information on it. When the seals are broken, judgement will happen to the earth. In other words, opening the scroll sets things in motion. Point being, Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ has all of the qualifications needed to open the scroll. Yahusha by birth is qualified to be Judge, Ruler and High Priest over all the Earth. He will take away Satan's dominion over the Earth and it's place in the universe.
