When the Bible prophecies they knew came to pass, they immediately went in to action. At the same time, Jesus came to his own, and they received Him not. This it the story of true WISE MEN and how they were the final phase of the Guardians of the Universe, safe guarding the birth and beginning of the life of the Christ child.</p><p><a href=\"https://www.biola.edu/blogs/good-book-blog/2014/how-many-herods-are-there-in-the-bible\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">How Many Herods Are There?</a></p><p><a href=\"https://catholicstraightanswers.com/who-were-the-magi/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Who Were the Magi?</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQIWZVVGAvarNQiwpQonu0w\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\"Other Things with... \"</a> YouTube Channel</p><p>Cut &amp; Paste Personal Invitation to invite your friends to check out “gwot.rocks” podcast:&nbsp;</p><p><strong>I invite you to check out the podcast, “gwot.rocks: God, the World, and Other Things!” It is available on podcast players everywhere!
