No
one has done sufficient research about the three
wise men (Magi) to provide an explanation to the
Christian community about the reason for their visit
to baby Jesus. The visit has been simply explained
as a historical happening to honor the greatness of
Baby Jesus.
It is thought by many that religious philosophies
(theology and spirituality) are in opposition to the
philosophies of the Physical Sciences. One are not
allowing free discussions to come up with reasons
and prove for what they are preaching while the
others are semi free from restrictions by political
and religious leaders, to do research and come up
with prove for everything they are publishing. The
Physical Sciences often achieve tangible results;
you can see technological progress and an
understanding of the Physical Sciences have improved
the lives of humans. The religious philosophies
(theology and spirituality) have not evolved as fast
in order to continue serving humanity. Some
religious people actually make life miserable for
humanity with their teachings.
Why does no one want to discuss and research such an
important historical visit? Why do religious
scholars want to keep it as it is without research
and analysis? These questions can only be answered
by those religious leaders whom are in control of
Christian religion but I believe the reason for this
is that the three wise men were not Christian. It is
because of politics and economic interests that this
is not discussed more. I wish the science of
religious philosophy (theology and spirituality) was
an open field for peaceful discussions. I would like
to bring logic and reason into this discussion
instead of relying on old rhetoric imposed upon us
with no room for thought. As we know, openness and
freedom of thought will bring progress. I believe
that religious teachings have been helping humanity
progress and will continue to help humanity progress
even better when we allow freedom of thought within
religious communities.
The philosophies of Physical Science enjoy study and
discussions without imposing anything on people.
They have already accomplished a lot for humanity.
Religious philosophy has also served humanity very
well and accomplished civilizations and rule of law,
but the progress is slower compared to Physical
Science.
All of the restrictions imposed on the Physical
Sciences by religious philosophies have impaired
progress in the past. Human histories are full of
examples of this and are well known to educated
people around the world. The struggle of scientists
for thousands of years has been to convince
political and religious authorities to allow them to
operate freely in the universities of the modern
civilized world. In a very short time humanity has
made tangible progress in technology and
development.
I believe if the science of theology and
spirituality are allowed to be freely discussed and
argued peacefully we can make similar progress to
that of the Physical Sciences.
Many religious leaders around the world are afraid
that their believers will disappear when they are
allowed to be free from restrictions. I believe
openness and explanations based on logic with a
proven record will bring them more members. In many
religious organizations the members face death for
disobeying the religious teachings. In many
countries around the world people do not have
freedom of religion. The religious authorities
leaders will fight anyone who wants to convert form
their organized religions to another religion. They
use every means available to them to keep the
members in their own organized religions.
I believe open discussions and freedom of religions
will attract true members. When someone is convinced
that his or her religious beliefs are true then that
member will work harder to convince others to join
his or her religion peacefully.
The use of force, intimidation and killing is not
acceptable to modern humans. The majority of people
around the world are well educated. They will only
accept meaningful arguments. The freedom of choice
is more powerful than the use of force and
intimidation.
So I repeat, why did the Three Wise Men Visit Jesus
Christ at his birth?
According to many religious beliefs, The Messiah
will come to rescue humanity from all pain and
suffering. Wars will end and he will bring peace
allowing even the wolf and the sheep to drink from
the same river. Many people outside of Christianity
and Judaism do not understand what the Messiah is.
Wikipedia provides us with a basic definition,
“Messiah is a term used by Jews, Christians, and
Muslims for the redeemer figure expected in one form
or another by each religion. The word originally
came from Hebrew messiah, 'anointed'. In Judaism,
the expected king of the Davidic line who would
deliver Israel from foreign bondage and restore the
glories of its golden age. The Greek New Testament’s
translation of the term, Christos, became the
accepted Christian designation and title of Jesus of
Nazareth, indicative of the principal character and
function of his ministry. More loosely, the term
messiah denotes any redeemer figure; and the
adjective messianic is used in a broad sense to
refer to beliefs or theories about an eschatological
improvement of the state of humanity or the world.”
The statement above should be researched and bring
forth meaningful discussions.
I am not from the Jewish or Christian religions but
I done extensive research for my book, “Return of
the Medes”. I found that thousands of years before
the birth of Judaism and the existence of the Jewish
people, before the existence Christianity and Islam,
there were religions which believed that a Messiah
would come to liberate humanity from pain and
suffering.
We know that the Jewish religion believes that a
Messiah will come according to their religious
teachings, but most do not believe that Jesus Christ
was the Messiah. Christian believers, on the other
hand, do believe that indeed Jesus Christ was the
Messiah that the Jews were waiting for. These
contradictions affected the relationship between the
Jews and the Christians believers. The Jewish people
have endured a lot of suffering because of this
disagreement. Finally this hatred was used by the
Nazi Germany political party of Hitler to commit
horrible crimes during the holocaust.
The Muslims believe that Jesus is the spirit of God.
Shi’a Islam believes that Muhammad al-Mahdī (Imam
Mahdi) will return as their Messiah and Sunni Islam
does not believe in a Messiah figure at all.
But none of this explains the visit of the wise men.
To begin to understand this we must first ask, who
were the three wise men?
The three wise men were “Magi” from the Zoroastrian
religion.
Magi were one of the six original tribes from the
Medes (Kurds) tribe, whom united to form the Median
Empire. The Magi are the forefathers of the Kurdish
people in the Middle East. They have been working as
preachers since Prophet Mehabad established his
Mitra Religion over 9000 years BC. They were a
segment of the society busy with the study of
religion, astrology and religious teaching. They
were scientists and scholars, an educated segment of
the Airyanem (Iranian) people in the old days.
Emperor Cambyses II, son of Cyrus the Great of the
Median Empire, was killed in a mysterious way on his
way home after conquering Egypt. The Medes and Pars
Nobel, with the help of the Magi establishment,
elected Bardiya (Smerdis) second son of Emperor
Cyrus the Great, as the Emperor of Median Empire.
General Darius, son of Hystaspes (fifth cousin of
Emperor Bardiya), with he help of a group of other
Median Generals killed Emperor Bardiya of the Median
Empire after only seven months and established the
Achaemenid Empire sparking a bloody power struggle
within the royal family. In the internal wars
between those loyal to Darius the Great and those
loyal to the son of Cyrus the Great Emperor Bardiya,www.ekurd.netmost
of the educated Magi were eliminated. Over one
thousand years later the rest of the Magi were
eliminated by the Islamic Arabic army after they
conquered the land of the Airyanem (Iranian) nation.
The Prophet Zoroaster tried to reform the Mitra
religion in six thousand B.C. Initially the Magi
resisted Prophet Zoroaster’s teachings but later
joined him and kept with his teachings during their
work as Magi. As I explained in my book, the
functions of the Magi (Magush – Those who say things
from their conscious according to the Airyanem
language) for more than 9000 years was to work as
preachers, astrologists and dream interpreters
before the birth of Jesus Christ (Jesus of
Nazareth).
The Kurds and other Iranians are the owners of the
oldest civilization in the history of humanity. They
started the first monolithic religion 9000 years BC.
The religion is known as Mitra (Mehr), with the
philosophy that God is not like humans. God is
energy, like the Sun. The Airyanem Vaejah was the
ones to come up with the concept of one God.
The Magi were a profession similar to a scientist
and preacher combined. They studied astrology and
also taught the Mitra religion, and later the
Zoroastrian religion, to the people. The Magi were
preachers of those two religions. They evolved into
a wise and knowledgeable group of scientists who
could also predict the future of humanity and the
future of the Earth. Based on the teachings of both
religions, the world is the work of two beings
hostile to one another. First there is Auramazdâha
(God), the principle creator of the Universe. His
wishes are for people to be left in peace, to
protect the Earth and its environment so that people
may live a joyful life on Earth. Opposing
Auramazdaha is Angra Mainyu (the Devil), who teaches
the principles of evil. The Devil was allowed, by
Auramazdâha, to change the people's minds towards
evildoing by collecting worldly physical wealth. It
is clear that the Auramazdâha intended humans to be
tested to see if they would follow the teachings of
Angra Mainyu and steal wealth from others in order
to live better than their fellow humans.
The source of wars and killing comes from the greed
of a few who never have enough. They pretend to be
religious and in some ways they are cleverer than
the majority of people. They gather in diverse
religious groups and political organizations but
they share a common interest. They want to achieve a
monopoly of power through wealth, by controlling the
powerful elite of nations.
The good in the world comes from the Auramazdâha;
all that is bad comes from the Angra Mainyu. The
history of humanity is a history of conflict. It is
the history of the Angra Mainyu and the people who
follow its teachings. They invaded the world of
Auramazdâha and marred it with wars and conflict in
their own interest. When humanity learns the truth
about the evil groups and their intentions, then the
world will unite and defeat them--the children of
the Devil--forever.
Until then, humanity will continue to create
conflict and wars. The evil done by individuals and
groups responsible for conflict and war is laid
before them by Auramazdâha in the law revealed to
Prophet Zoroaster. When the time comes, according to
Magi calculations, the lawgiver, not yet born, named
"Saoshyant" will appear to destroy the Angra Mainyu
and those who claimed to be religious and good
people but were, in reality the source of unrest and
evil. They are the ones who have caused humanity so
many wars, destruction, pain, and suffering
throughout history. Men will rise from the dead with
joy and happiness, free at last from Angra Mainyu
and his disciples, those for whom the wealth of this
world is so important. The corrupt, evil monopoly
holders will be destroyed, allowing the people
finally to enjoy life in a state that will last
forever, and the rule of law will reign over the
world.
In conclusion, the Three Wise Men believed that
Jesus Christ was their Saoshyant (Messiah) according
to their own calculations. They followed stars to
find baby Jesus after His birth. I found in my
research that Magi interpreted many dreams which
later came out to be true. They believed that Jesus
was the Messiah whom the world had been waiting for
thousands of years.
The reader can do more research to find the truth
about the Magi. The visit from the Three Wise Men
was not an ordinary visit. It is evidence for those
who believe in the Creator and spirituality.

Magi or Magush
Magi: the definitions of Magi in the dictionary
(Latin plural of magus, ancient Greek magos(μάγος),
Persian "..غ", English singular 'magian', 'mage',
'magus', 'magusian', 'magusaean') is a term, used
since at least the 4th century BCE, to denote a
follower of Zoroaster, or rather, a follower of what
the Hellenistic world associated Zoroaster with,
which was in the main the ability to read the stars,
and manipulate the fate that the stars foretold. The
meaning prior to Hellenistic period is uncertain.
Author's Note: Magiism, in its general form, may be
summed up as follows before the Hellenistic period:
Just to analyze the meaning of the word below will
give us the answer what really means to be Magi. The
Airyanem Vaejah people lost the scholars from Magi
to challenge Greek and Jewish scholars in the past.
They wrote what ever served their own people's
interest. The Airyanem Vaejah nations without Magi
scholars lost a great deal to other nations in the
region and out side of region.
Mag-ush: meaning those who are saying and teaching
things based on knowledge.
Mag: Saying, preaching, speaking
Ush: conscious, knowledge, spiritual, spirituality,
theology
Saoshyant
This is the name of the traditional Zoroastrian
religion concept for the "Messiah," similar to the
traditional Jewish concept.
Saoshyant
Sao-shyant, means "You are everything, you are above
and beyond the values, and you are the (Messiah)."
Many people believe that Jesus Christ was from the
Madayu people of the Airyanem Vaejah nations who
settled among Semitic Jews after Babylon took over
the region with the help of the Median Empire.
Indeed, he could have been their Messiah. He was
visited after his birth by wise men (Magi) from the
Madayu and Parsu people of Airyanem Vaejah nations
because they knew (or believed) he was the Messiah.
