  • The Zoroastrians

    In an ancient Middle Eastern land, there's a caste of priests called the Zoroastrians of the Magian or Zoroastrian faith--the Magi. They dressed in white robes and conical hats. They begin a journey not knowing where it will lead them. Seeking something greater, they ultimately came to the house of a Jewish family with a Jewish child. They would come to know the child as the Light of the world, the Glory of Israel. They followed a star which brought them to Bethlehem; a moment ordained from the beginning. The prophet Isaiah said in his writings, "Arise, shine, for your light has come. Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising." It says, "They will bring you gifts of gold and frankincense." When the Light of Israel comes, the Gentiles will come bringing gold and frankincense. They were the first to fulfill the prophecy-because the Light has come. Be like the Magi. You don't have to understand everything. Just follow His leading, and you will end up fulfilling the destiny for which you were born.
    From Message #778 - The Magi Mystery
