Let us discuss the kings that brought gifts to Messiah at Bethlehem. This is mainly based on the scriptures and not any occult writings. I'm no bible expert but here's my take.
From the narratives of Matthew 2:1-12, when Messiah was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, there came wise men from the east of Jerusalem. It was not stated how many kings or wise men, could be three or more but they inquired for a child that was born as the King of the Yahudim (Jew), for they see the star in the east and they're looking for the Child and worship Him. When king Herod heard this news, he was troubled. Then king Herod gathered the priests and scribes and demanded them where Messiah should be born. And they said, in Bethlehem of Judaea, for thus it is written by the prophet and this Child will rule my people Israel. Then king Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem, "go and search diligently for the young Child and if you found him, report it to me that I may worship him". When the wise men heard king Herod, they departed and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they were greatly rejoiced. "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God (Elohim) in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way."
Who were the wise men or the three kings? The biblical narratives didn't named them. Where did the story of Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar as wise men came from? Is there a concrete evindence that these people were really the wise men in the bible? Let's check this futher.
Here are the Three Kings as described by WIKIPEDIA:
1. Melchior, or Melichior, was purportedly one of the Biblical Magi along with Gaspar and Balthazar who visited the infant Jesus after he was born. Melchior was often referred to as the oldest member of the Magi. He was traditionally called the King of Persia and brought the gift of gold to Jesus. In the Western Christian church, he is regarded as a saint (as are the other two Magi).
2. Gaspar (otherwise known as Caspar, Casper, Kaspar, and other variations) was one of the 'Three Kings', along with Melchior and Balthazar, representing the wise men or 'Biblical Magi' mentioned in the Bible in the Gospel of Matthew, verses 2:1-9. Although the Bible does not specify who or what the Magi were, since the seventh century, the Magi have been identified in the Western Church as Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar. Gaspar and the other two are considered saints by the Catholic Church. He gave the gift of frankincense.
3. Balthazar; also called Balthasar, Balthassar, and Bithisarea, was according to tradition one of the biblical Magi along with Gaspar and Melchior who visited the infant Jesus after he was born. Balthazar is traditionally referred to as the King of Macedonia and gave the gift of myrrh to Jesus. In the Roman Catholic Church, he is regarded as a saint (as are the other two Magi).
With the above reference, the origins of three kings was not clearly established. Melchior came from Persia, Gaspar was not established and Balthazar is from Macedonia. Wierd! I thought, the wise men came from the east, why was Balthazar came from the north, Macedonia? If you read other articles, there places of origin varies. They came from Persia, India and Saudi Arabia, Babylonia and some other articles said they came from Persia, Armania and India and so on. Looks like every articles has its own origin of the wise men. Even their gifts varies from each sources, from WIKIPEDIA, to Britanica and some other sources, the three gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh varies from all sources. These were just three gifts but they can't pinpoint who really carried the gift of gold, the gift of frankincense and a gift of myrrh. If the story of the kings were not made up, you can easily point a reference in the scriptures regarding their origin and what type of gifts they carried. They also tried to link the three kings story to Isaiah 60:1-6, regarding the return of the northern lost tribes of Israel which also bring with them gold and incense and Psalm 72:11, where all kings will fall down to the child that was born and all nations shall serve Him. And what they failed to see, or they just don't want to see is that, at Psalm 72:10, the verse prior to their reference, the places of origin of the kings or wise men were given! Satan is really a master of mimicry, he tried to memic the wise men (kings) by putting them to ever changing place of origins and an ever changing gifts which the three kings gave. It's not hard to judge the modern story of the three kings is an occult in origin! A hoax! They have to cover up and put away the places where the wise men originated, blinded up its people and deception has been carried out so that their lies will be as truth! And this is happening since our forefathers!
Do we really know where these wise men (kings) came from? Please check this out:
Psalms 72:10-17, "{10} The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. {11} Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. {12} For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. {13} He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. {14} He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. {15} And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. {16} There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. {17} His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed." From the above verses, the kings shall offer gifts, shall fall down before Him and all nations shall serve Him. He shall deliver the needy, shall save the soul of needy, shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence. There is no other redeemer except Messiah (Yahusha) alone! And the kings (wise men) that offer gifts to Him came from where? 'Tarshish' and 'the isles', 'Sheba' and 'Seba'. Where can these ancient places be? In Matthew 2, the wise men came from the east. Let us examine further the verses in Matthew using "Strong's Concordance": The transliteration of 'Wise Men' to Hebrew is 'Magos', which means oriental wise men, oriental scientist; magician, sorcerer. The wise men came from the east, oriental in origin, therefore, Tarshish and the isles, Sheba and Seba were oriental lands.
Check this out! In 1857, John Henry Hopkins Jr., an American clergyman and hymnodist, wrote a famous song entitled "We Three Kings of Orient Are", where the song lyrics goes like this, "We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar..." Three kings from the orient? We can assume that the biblical geography was not lost in 1800s. His other song entitled "When from the East the Wise Men Came", where it lyrics goes like this... "Bright gold of Ophir, passing fine, Proclaims a King of royal line". Bright gold of Ophir? Therefore, during the time of J.H. Hopkins Jr at 1857, they still knew the place of origins of the wise men, Ophir. And during our generation, the biblical geography was suddenly lost to us! Really wierd! Here are some other sources that points out to this ancient land.
1. An ancient Ophir map showed, the Spanish label Philippines as 'Lequios Ofir/Ophir' and Tarsis/Tarshish; source: 152- Collecion General... a Las Islas Filipinas and in 4th of March 1525,
2. Sebastian Cabot contract with Spain identifies Tarsis (Tarshish) and Ophir, the isles in East Indies now modern day Philippines.
3. In 1522, Antonio Pegafitta recorded Philippines as Tarshish and Ophir.
4. In his reaserch, Christopher Columbus located Ophir, Tarshish, Garden of Eden and Lost Tribes of Israel in SE Asia isles north of equator, modern day Philippines.
There are so many refences based on histories that point the Philippines as Ophir and Tarshish. How about Sheba? In Antonio Pegafitta's journal, Cebu was rendered by him as Zubu and some other old maps rendered as Seboe: Sebu and Zebu:Sebu. In 1646-1647 map of the Philippines by New York Company, Cebu was called Sebat. "Sebu" is just a variant from the word "Sheba" meaning 'oath'. It is also associated the the word "seven", like 'Sabbath', 'Shabbat' or 'Sebat'. Supprisingly, Cebu is in region 7! Coincidence? I think not! Now, we have to establish the connection of Sheba to Ophir and Tarshish. In 1 Kings 9:26-28; 10:1-2, "{26} And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom. {9:27} And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. {28} And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Solomon. {1} And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions. {2} And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart." From whom queen Sheba heard the fame of king Solomon? From the navy servants that was sent by Hiram as instructed by king Solomon to fetched gold at Ophir. Therefore, queen Sheba lives in the same land as Ophir. If Philippines was the land of Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish, then how long will be their travel to our land from Israel? Because, 3 months or 5 months or 6 months travel time going to our land during those eras would be impossible. Look at this passages: 2 Chronicles 9:21, "For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every 'three years' once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks." So, three years back and forth, they go to Tarshish-Ophir-Sheba to fetched gold, silver, ivory, apes or monkeys and peacocks then back to Israel. This passage will rebuke the claim of some other places like Yemen and Ethiopia that Sheba is in their places because the travel time going to these areas are just a month from Israel. We now can clearly identify that Philippines is an ancient land of Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish. And also, never in the Philippines old maps that says Cebu as Sugbu! This word was circulated as ancient name were in fact its origin is unknown, unless this word Sugbu was created to mislead us to our true origin and identity. Who created it? The Jesuits! That's for sure!
Seba also is just variant from the word Sabah and thus Sabah were the same land as Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish. Sabah is actually a territory of the Philippines since ancient times. Why did the Brithish gave Sabah to Malaysia rather than the Philippines? The UK top brass, European and US elites maybe knew who we are... our real identity! That is why...
Let us examine the passage Isaiah 60:1-6 (WIKIPEDIA reference), the return of the Northern Lost Tribes of Israel, using these verses as reference for the 'wise men'. The 1st and 2nd verses here discusses about a 'light' from YAHUAH (God) that will remove the darkness that covered the earth and its people, the lost tribes of Israel. "{1} Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the YAHUAH (LORD) is risen upon thee. {2} For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the YAHUAH (LORD) shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." Arise lost tribes of Israel, the light of YAHUAH (God) has come, His glory will be seen by the people, their eyes will be open and the deception that has been planted for centuries will be recognize by them. The 3rd, 4th and 5th verses talks about their return to the promised land, Israel. "{3} And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. {4} Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. {5} Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee." The Gentiles will come to the 'light' of the lost tribes of Israel, they shall gather together and travel to many seas and will be converted/drained into dry land? Like Exodus? And the forces of gentiles will come with them. And the 6th verse, "{6} The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the YAHUAH (LORD)." All came from Sheba (Cebu, Philippines), with a great multitude of young camel of Midia and Ephah of Saudi Arabia, bringing 'gold' and 'incense' with them and shall praise YAHUAH. Now, based on Isaiah 60:1-6, it only points out that our land is the origin of some of the lost tribes of Israel, the same land where the 'wise men' (kings) came from. And look at the 9th verse of Isaiah chapter 60, just a continuation of this passage; "{9} Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee." Tarshish and the isles shall bring thy sons, their silver and their gold unto YAHUAH (God), the Holy One of Israel. Therefore, this passage from Isaiah, only strengthen the claim that our land, Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish are the location of some of the northern tribes of Israel. The same land as Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, now modern day Philippines. Also, this same passage from Isaiah is an end times prophecy where our land and its people that will play a very significant role in the last days. And that day starts now!
What makes our land so significant? Why was a sign (the star) given to our ancestors that a Child is born in Israel that would become our Saviour and King? Why them? The sign can't be given to the wise men from random places and from the gentiles. There have to be a connection to between Israel and to our land somewhere... why they went to see the Child that was born and worship Him. Now, if we look into the research of Christopher Columbus, he found the isles in South East Asia as the location of Northern Tribes of Israel, his reference were 2 Esdras (Ezra) and Isaiah. Here are the passages from 2 Esdras and from Isaiah: 2 Esdras (Ezra) 13:41-46, "{41} But they took this counsel amongst themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, {42} That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land. {43} And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow passages of the River. {44} For the Most High then showed signs for them, and held still the flood, til they were passed over. {45} For through that country there was a great way to go; namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called 'Arsareth'. {46} Then dwelt they there until the latter time." Some of the northern tribes of Israel migrated to a further country that they might keep their statutes. They cross the Euphrates river like an Exodus type of crossing where the water was dried up and the Israelites walked in dry land until everyone passed over. And they went to a country with one and a half year journey and the same region called 'Arsareth'. A one and a half year journey, that's too far! It can't be around the middle east or Africa, it can be somewhere in the far away land. And if we look closely at the word 'Arsareth', it is a combination of two words, 'Asah' and 'Ehrets'. 'Asah' means to do, work, make, produce and Ehrets means land, earth. Therefore, 'Arsereth' means to make the earth or the land of creation. Therefore, some of the northern tribes of Israel went to the land of creation. Where could the place be?
And this passage from Isaiah in chapter 49 talks about the Isles and the people, the lost tribes of Israel from afar: Isaiah 49:12, "Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim." The word 'north' in this passage is 'tsaphon' in Hebrew meaning north or northward. The word 'west' here is transliterated as 'yam' in hebrew, meaning 'sea'. The 'sea' as 'yam' in the scriptures is used more than 320 times while the word 'west' as yam was used 47 times because west of Israel is Mediterannian sea, but 'west' itself can be translated to Hebrew as 'maarab'. Therefore, 'west' can't be used in this passage, the exact word here is 'sea'. So, the correct verse from Isaiah 49:12 is: "Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the sea; and these from the land of Sinim." The word 'Sinim' is equal to 'Ciyniym' in Hebrew which means 'south china'. Therefore, some of the northern tribes of Israel can be found in the isles afar off, to the sea of South China or the South China Sea. Wow! What isles are located in the sea of South China? Simply, the Philippines! And combining 2 Esdras and Isaiah, we can conclude that some of the northern tribes of Israel went to Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish, the land of creation. That is why king Solomon wanted the gold, almug trees (narra tree) and other resources from our land to be used at the temple in Jerusalem because it is the land of creation, the land where Adam to Noah dwelled before the flood. These same resources were used by Adam, by Seth, by Enoch and up to Noah. It is also the location of the garden of Eden! Now modern day Philippines!
Now, here's the passage from Isaiah that dealt on the location of the twelve tribes of Israel. Isaiah 11:11-13, "{11} And it shall come to pass in that day, that the YAHUAH shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the 'islands of the sea'. {12} And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. {13} The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim." Where can we find the remnant of the biblical Israel? Southern Tribes of Israel (Judah) - Egypt, Pathros (Sudan) and Cush which is basically the whole central Africa, the slave coast, from east coast to west coast... The Northern Tribes of Israel locations were known here because they were the first one to be exciled to Assyria and never came back to the promised land - Assyria, Elam, Shinar and Hamath is now modern day Kurdistan (Northern Syria, Southern Turkey, Northern Iraq and Northwestern Iran) and 'the islands of the sea' - now modern day Philippines. Ephraim (Northern Tribes of Israel) shall not envy Judah and Judah (Southern Tribes of Israel) shall not vex Ephraim. The question is, who are they in Israel today? The answer is... one of the two Mystery Babylons. The say they are "Yahudim" (Jews) but are not but do lie!
One last question, why were the wise men (kings) have come from our land to see the child Messiah in Bethlehem? Why not from the tribes of Judah, from Levites or the other tribes of Israel? Let us examine this passage: Jeremiah 31:9, "They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn." Ephraim was given the 'firstborn' right of Israel, therefore, the kings (wise men) from our land visited Bethlehem to witness the 'Child' that would become our redemeer and worship Him because we are from the tribe of Ephraim. "Parang sinalubong yung pagdating ng Messiah (Yahusha)". And finally, we will initiate the return of the lost tribes together with the gentiles to Israel in the last days! By the way, we are the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh! My analysis is, the tribes of Ephraim are Visayas and Mindanao (Sheba and Tarshish) while the tribes of Manasseh is Luzon and somes isles (Ophir).
It's now time that we restore the true biblical geography of our land. Every Filipino must know these facts that our country is a very significant place in the end times prophecy. Matthew 12:42, “The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.” What place is queen of the south unto this day? It is Cebu, the queen city of the south! And queen Sheba visited Israel to hear the wisdom of king Solomon: 1 Kings 10:4-5, "{4} And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, {5} And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her." But remember, our future leader will be greater than king Solomon and she, like queen Sheba - the queen of the south, is from Sebu/Cebu or her lineage is from Cebu. And our land in the endtimes will surely rise up and our future leader will lead us and will comdemn the principalities behind the deception that we are in!
Rise up Filipinos! Rise up wise men (kings)! Rise up Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish! Rise up Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao! Rise up Seba-Sabah! Rise up Maharlika! Rise up Philippines!
