Wise men, (wasn't just 3, could've been 100's) who were Israelites from the east, were studying the stars/heavens/zodiac, and came to worship him; that's why when he was born the Roman world was shook!

...And hence we find it related in the history of several of the God-begotten Saviours of antiquity, that as soon as they were born into the world they were visited by ‘wise men from a distance’ (or Magi, as they were called by the Persians and Brahmins). And in some cases they were likewise waited upon and adored by the neighbouring shepherds; and even celestial spirits are reported in some instances as leaving their star-gilt homes to wing their way to the humble mansion, the rude tenement, containing a new-born God, that they might honour and adore ‘the Saviour of men, the Saviour of the world.’...

...The sacred biographies of both Confucius and Christ furnish examples of the angel host forsaking their golden pavilions in the skies to pay their devoirs to a Deity-begotten bantling, sent down by the ‘Father of Mercies,’ to save a guilt-laden world. And in both cases the Magi are reported as assembling to present their offerings to the infant God.

In the case of Confucius (born 598 BC), it is declared, ‘Five wise men from a distance came to the house, celestial music was heard in the skies, and angels attended the scene.’ (See the Five Volumes.) Now let us observe how strikingly similar to this ancient legend, in each of the several characteristics, is the Christian story. Matthew (ii. i) speaks of ‘wise men from the east’ journeying to Jerusalem to visit the infant Christ, soon after his birth, amongst the mules and oxen in a stable, though he omits to state the number of itinerant adorers who presented themselves on the occasion.

The Persian story is more specific, as it gives the number of Magi who visited the young Saviour of that country as five....

...But to the line of history. Other Saviours at birth, we are told, were visited by both angels and shepherds, also ‘wise men,’ at least great men. Krishna, the eighth avatar of India (1200 BC) (so it is related by the ‘inspired penman’ of their pagan theocracy) was visited by angels, shepherds and prophets (avatars). ‘Immediately after his birth he was visited by a chorus of Devas (angels), and surrounded by shepherds, all of whom were impressed with the conviction of his future greatness.’ We are informed further that ‘gold, frankincense and myrrh’ were presented to him as offerings....

The ninth avatar of India (Saki) furnishes to some extent a similar parallel. According to the account of an exploration made in India, and published in the New York Correspondent of 1828, ‘There is on a silver plate in a cave in India an inscription stating that about the time of the advent of Buddha Saki (600 BC), a saint in the woods learned by inspiration that another avatar (Messiah or Saviour) had appeared in the house of Rajah of Lailas. Learning which, he flew through the air to the place, and when he beheld the new-born Saviour he declared him to be the great avatar (Saviour or prophet), and that he was destined to establish a new religion’ – the New Covenant Religion.

We next draw on the history of Greece. It is authentically related of Pythagoras (600 BC) that his fame having reached Miletas and neighbouring cities, men renowned for wisdom (wise men) came to visit him. (Progress of Religious Ideas, vol. i.) In the Anacalypsis we are told that Magi came from the East to offer gifts at Socrates’ birth, bringing gold, frankincense and myrrh,’ the same kind of offering as that presented to the two divine infants Krishna and Christ, according to their respective ‘inspired’ biographers. (See Matt. ii. 4, and the Ramayana).

According to the account of an exploration made in India, and published in the New York Correspondent of 1828, ‘There is on a silver plate in a cave in India an inscription stating that about the time of the advent of Buddha Saki (600 BC), a saint in the woods learned by inspiration that another avatar (Messiah or Saviour) had appeared in the house of Rajah of Lailas.

A wiseman or wise man does not worship a man. Jesus or no other prophet'smessage was ever to worship him.

Sir, you seem to be missing the point.

Please, re-read the title, of this thread.

"Dont need to read anything.It doesnt neccessarily have anything to do with what you have wrote. "

The WiseMen from the East were the Persian Magi who studied astrology among other things.

Infact, this is where the word "magic" originated from.

How these Persian characters of pagan background got mixed up with the story of a Hebrew Jesus is beyond me.

MAYBE THEY WERE JUST TRAVELING THROUGH PERSIA OR VISITING AND THAT IS WHAT THE PEOPLE CALLED THEM. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
