The fullness of time, when the prophecies came true.
This gospel speak about two prophecies, the first seems according some ancient fathers, the fulfilment of Daniel’s prophecy, wherein he spake that Christ should be born after seventy weeks of years. For from the time of the prophecy to the reign of Herod, the years of seventy weeks were accomplished
An the other: The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come. (Gen. 49:10.)
Who are these wise man: Another and more probable opinion is, that they were descendants of Balaam, who having his prophecy, There shall rise a Star out of Jacob, (Numb. 24:17.). Remigius
They saw a start, another thing that the fathers want to declare is that the start does no determinate but testify.
The star which the Magi saw, at Christ's birth according to the flesh, did not rule His fate, but ministered as a testimony to Him.
The meaning of the number three.
This day should be a big fest here and, in all country, because we celebrate that Jesus is no only the Kind of the Jews, we celebrate that he is the savior of the Word, because today in the person of the three King are represented all the human kind.
The number three represent the fullness, Peter denied complete Jesus, when he did it for three times, and complete confess his love and repent when he says tree times to Jesus know you that I love you.
So in the three kins represent the complete humanity that recognize Jesus as his savior and adore him.
Three gifts that witness the mystery of that boy.
They offer three gifts, Gold, incense and myrrh, why God? Gold was given as tax to the King, recognize that this baby is his king.
The second is incense, why they offer a incense to baby, maybe the think that that baby will be an altar boy… no, they offer incense because this boy is God, you only offer incense to God.
And then the offer Myrrh was a perfume, why they offer this?
It was a perfume that was used to put after death for the bodies, so they are saying this is also a man, and that man will die.
They confess that Jesus is King, is God and is Man, that is the meaning of the gifts.
We have to find Jesus, but be sure that this baby is with his mother.
We have the obligation of find Jesus, this person left his countries and travel to find Jesus, we also have to find Jesus and adore him.
But a great advice, they found Jesus with his Mother, you have to find both Mother Mary and Jesus, you cannot separate the child of his mother. If you go another Church an see that they have Jesus his mother his no there, is no true the signal is, Jesus with his Mother Mary.
