Jerusalem Temple Tribune – “Pagan
Nobility Pose a Strange Question to King Herod”
News sources in the palace have advised that a large group
of men known as Magi have travelled to pay Herod a courtesy visit with an
unexpected question, “Where is He who is born King of the Jews?” Much to King Herod’s surprise their question
was quite sincere and genuine. They
assumed that he would be aware of the event.
It was further reported that Herod consulted the Scribes, Lawyers and
other experts of the Scriptures and was told that the Messiah would be born in
Bethlehem. Herod conveyed this finding
to the Magi and asked them to report back when they had found the One, as he
"wanted to go and pay homage to Him as well."
A palace correspondent reported as the Magi were departing
from the palace that evening they became quite excited at sighting the
bright object which that re-appeared in the sky.
They claimed they had been following this object for quite some time, that
once again it was moving and they were determined to finish their journey.
Our Bethlehem correspondent reported that the entourage came
to a small home in Bethlehem and begged entrance where they paid homage to the
young boy child named Jesus and gave him gifts befitting of a King. Our source was unable to estimate the value
of the gifts but it was said to be quite extravagant.
A curious observation was that the Magi did not begin their journey home
by way of Jerusalem, but had decided to take a different route. It was further reported that the young
family vacated their home shortly after the visit and their whereabouts are unknown.
In other news from Bethlehem, soldiers of King Herod
conducted a raid and have killed all baby boys, two years of age and
younger. No explanation has been
offered for the King’s actions.
