Question

What were the names of the three wise men, who were they and were did they come from? And in what version of the Bible are they discribed as "Kings of the Orient"? Usually two are depicted as white (oriental) and one is black.

Answer 1

Caspar, Melchior and Balthazaar.

They're referred to as the three Kings of the Orient, nothing more.

Merry Christmas!!!!

And a Happy New Year!!!!!

Answer 2

The bible doesn't say how many there were, that they were kings nor does it give their names or races. The bible does use the terms Magi and wise men from the east. History explains the Magi as intellectuals probably from Babylon.

The other stuff has been added on by the ages.

Answer 3

The Bible doesn't name them, only traditions of the church - nice ideas, maybe true, but not scripture.
The thought is that they were probably from the wisdom schools of Babylon (in what is now Iraq). That is where Daniel lived as a captive, and prophesied (the book of Daniel) hundreds of years before.
Even though they did not follow the religion of Daniel (Judaism) they would have studied the writings of their esteemed prophet. Although men came to Babylon from all over to study with the Magi, there is no evidence of their ethnic origins.

Answer 4

3 clever adult adult males are of Christmas carol recognition, no longer from out of the Bible. The Magi got here from the east of Bethlehem. extra suitable than possibly, considering that they knew with regard to the Hebrew scriptures that prophesied some coming King, they have been from the area around approximately Babylon the place the Hebrews had spent their captivity. those Magi have been people who hand picked the kings of their very own lands, so it grew to become into somewhat proper that they could come to locate this Hebrew King who grew to become into to be stumbled on under the famous individual that they observed. They weren't chosen, they chosen to maintain on with the famous individual to locate if it have been actual what that they have been reading interior the previous scriptures of the Hebrews.

Answer 5

asia monor. The word that is translated as wise and kings is actually astrologers because these men were astrologers as may be deducted as they spent time observing the stars and thought a formation in the sky told them to go to Israel. They saw the planets of jupiter and saturn in the constellation of Aries which is the tribe of Judah which Jesus was a member. The sun moon as well were aligned at the time (April 17, 6 BC) when Jesus was born, and they left to find Him and 2 years later arrived in Herod's palace at which time the Biblical account took place. This formation of jupiter and saturn in aries reappered while they were in Israel. I do not remeber those dates.

Answer 6

where in the bible does it say there was three wise men ?
That is a misconception during this time of the year.
The bible does say Baby Jesus received the three gifts from the wise men.
It could have been 10 wise men bringing three gifts or two wise men bringing three gifts

Answer 7

Its just a load of crap to add color to Merrys story about why she was having yet another child. In the amazon some native south american women claim that when they get pregnant, misteriously, that it was a pink dolphin that turned into a man and tricked her into believing it was her husband. Merrys story is even more unbelievable, but like that nasty nazi Gopples said,'the bigger the lie the more they believe it.'
I think Merry might have been a bit of (use your common sense to finish this sentence)

Answer 8
