Les trois rois mages
Les trois sages décrits dans le présent à la naissance de Jésus[1] n'étaient probablement pas des rois, mais surnommés ainsi par la tradition ultérieure pour correspondre à la prophétie dans le Psaume 72:11, "Tous les rois lui rendront hommage". Les "sages de l'Orient" étaient plutôt des Mages, la classe des prêtres de Perse qui étaient les "gardiens des choses sacrées, les érudits du peuple, les philosophes et les serviteurs de Dieu", qui pratiquaient également l'art de la divination, de la divination et de l'astrologie. Sous l'empire perse, ils étaient les conseillers des rois, les éducateurs des princes et étaient tenus en très haute estime.
The names of the three wise men are not mentioned in the Bible but appear to have arisen or been passed down through tradition. Eighth-century British historian Bede was the first to record their names as we know them today. Melchior signifies “king of light”; Caspar may come from the name of the Indian king Gondophares whom the apostle Thomas converted; Balthazar is the Chaldean name for Daniel.
The Ascended Masters El Morya, Kuthumi, and Djwal Kul were embodied as the Three Wise Men. El Morya (Melchior) brought to the Christ Child the gift of gold, Kuthumi (Balthazar) the gift of frankincense, and Djwal Kul (Caspar) the gift of myrrh. Bearing the Light of the Trinity, they charted the time and place of Jesus’ birth by astrology and the magnet of the heart: “We have seen his star in the East and are come to worship him.”
El Morya bore the flame of the Father, Brahma; Kuthumi, that of the Son, Vishnu; Djwal Kul that of the Holy Spirit, Shiva. The Trinity manifest in the threefold flame of the heart of the Christ Child was the lodestone which magnetized them through their own hearts’ Light. They were representatives of the Three-in-One. Jesus was the Three-in-One incarnate.
