Thanks LT. I hadn’t thought of the Gentile priest/kings as “heralds,” but you’re absolutely right about that. They really did clue in the people about what was happening: Good news for ALL people. It kind of screams reconciliation on so many levels (especially in a national/racial sense, ya know?).

Love this Ed. It’s exactly what’s been on my heart in my Advent series. I especially love the angle of how God flips things on his people. He uses gentile priest kings to tell them that their messiah is born and then further challenges expectations because this messiah is born not in a palace but a manger. Who misses the messiah and salvation completely? and why? You hit it on the head – because of what we think it should look like and what our agenda entails. i.e. Herod
Thanks for your Advent posts.
