The Magi/ three Kings.
The wise men arrived in Jerusalem, after traveling from the east following the star for one year. This is much different from the traditional images that we have of them at the nativity. They came to acknowledge the Messiah of the Jews, the new born King of Israel and the Savior of the Gentile world.
Matthew 2:1-2, 10-11.
Meanwhile paranoid Herod had other plans for killing all the male boys up to two years old. Matthew 2:16-18.
That is what weak leaders do, when they loose control they enforce terror. Believe fear will control the multitudes.
