Reply to "The "inn" is not what you think it was."

The Magi, Wise men, astronomers many have alluded to them by many different names but they did see and comprehend the signs of a miraculous event, the birth of the Savior, and they traveled toward the Holy Land to find and acknowledge this as well as find the child, if they could.   It did take time to travel and little did these men realize but their visit to Herod, who died in 4BC, set forth a horrible event but also gives indication that the actual birth of the Christ Child took place sometime before 4BC possibly 5BC even.  Herod, after hearing about the birth of the one to be "King of the Jews" issued orders, based upon the timing of the inquiry from the Magi, and seeking to cover a wide swath of time so issued the order to kill all male babies up to 2 years of age from that time seeking to kill the Christ child.

Here is a few links which gives far more detail:

Bible.org website with information about the Magi

Info from Answers in Genesis group

There is much about the "Story of Christ/Christmas" that many haven't really much definite knowledge about.  The important thing to take away was that these travelers knew, foresaw, and expected the event to happen based upon prior prophecies and their knowledge of the stars/heavens and that it centers around an actual historical event.  

Nothing new about politicians lying either ... Herod told the Magi to send word upon finding the Child so that he could come and worship him.
