. Catholics know what few others do. The Three Wise men were Parthians! So were many of our ancestors between The Philippines and Ireland.
~
Question 1: “How do Catholics know that many of us are ‘Parthians’?”
Answer: “The Parthian Empire was formed of The Ten Northern Tribes. Beginning in 720 BC, hundreds of thousands of their people were deported from the Samarian parts of Israel. They were relocated into the lands between India and The Black Sea. By 250 BC, many of those Tribes had joined to form The Parthian Nation. It was as big as The Roman Empire!”
~
Question 2: “Were The ‘Magi’, The Three Wise Men who came to honor Jesus, from Parthia?”
Answer: “‘Magi’ is The Parthian word for ‘Magistrate’. The Three Wise Men were among the ‘Magi’ who ruled Parthia’s Royal Councils.”
~
Question 3: “How did they know when The Prophesied Messiah would be born?”
Answer: “Babylon’s astronomers predicted solar and lunar eclipses for thousands of years! Jewish Levites still living in Babylon knew The Prophecies that included Daniel 9:24-27. Astronomers and Scholars calculated when the Prophesied Messiah would take human form on earth. They did not know where.”
~
Question 4: “How did they find where Jesus would be born?”
Answer: “They knew the answer would be at The Temple in Jerusalem. The Magi and their troops marched across part of The Parthian Empire for three months to get there. Jewish priests told them about The Prophesy in Micah 5:2. ‘The Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.’”
~
Question 5: “Rome had replaced Parthian Authority in Israel with King Herod. How did he deal with the political difficulty of dealing with Rome and the competing Parthian Empire?”
Answer: “Herod was clever! ‘When you find Him, be sure to let me know!’ He was going to use the Parthian Magi to let him find and kill any competitor for The Crown he wore.”
~
Question 6: “Did The The Three Wise Men tell Herod they had found Jesus and had given a fortune in gold, frankincense, and myrrh to The Holy Family?”
Answer: “God outsmarted Herod. He had The Magi and their guard return to Babylon by ‘another way’. Then, God got Jesus and The Holy Family safely into Egypt. That let a Prophecy from Hosea 11:1 be Fulfilled! ‘out of Egypt I called My Son.’”
~
Question 7: “What did Herod do when he found out?”
Answer: “He fulfilled another Prophecy by killing every male child less than two years old near Bethlehem. Herod caused the ‘weeping in Ramallah’ predicted by Jeremiah 31:15-16.”
~
Question 8: “Why don’t we ever learn about Parthia?”
Answer: “God’s enemies do not want Catholics to realize that we are from The Twelve Tribes of Israel. They hate for us to realize that we are spiritually, and often genetically, related to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
~
Question 9: “How do Catholics know that we are among God’s Chosen People?”
Answer: “We gratefully obey This Word of from He Whom The Magi found! We get His ‘keys’! ‘And I say unto you thou are Peter and on this rock I build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys of The Kingdom of Heaven; . . .’”
