Could little Jesus have walked up to His presents?
The Bible says that the wise men were looking for ‘the young child’. Herod was also looking for a young child up to the age of 2 years.
What Camels?
The Bible does not mention any ‘wise men transport’. It may well have been horses or donkeys.
We three kings?...
The Bible makes no mention of the number of men from the East. Neither does it say they were kings!
The Wise Men
Would the manger be made of wood?
Since wood was scarce in Israel at that time it was most likely that the manger (feeding trough) was carved out of stone.
Was Jesus born in a manger?
No – The Bible says baby Jesus was ‘laid in a manger’ (feeding trough).
No room in the…?
The Bible indicates that the ‘inn’ was a 'guest chamber’ within a home (probably the home of a relation of Mary or Joseph)
The Manger
Were the shepherds 'seated on the ground'?
Probably not! The Bible says the shepherds were keeping watch. Perhaps they were in watch towers and maybe taking shifts?
Did the Shepherds and the wise men chat together?
No. The Bible says the shepherds visited Jesus as a new-born baby and the wise men when He was a young child.
Peace on Earth?
Peace implies a war. A ‘host’ implies a war. Yet God as the king, who’s laws we’ve broken, sent this army of angels to offer the gift of peace – Jesus Christ! Click
