The Persians after all acknowledged the birth of the Messiah, and even brought him gifts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The world is becoming anti-American, anti-West, and anti-Christian. Jones should know this. No ancient gift would expiate the ruthless aggression of this &#8220;Death to America&#8221; or its subtext, &#8220;Death to Christian America,&#8221; proclamation. And why doesn&#8217;t Jones understand, or acknowledge this?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Perhaps he does wish &#8220;death to America,&#8221; in an innocent desire to abate what he believes is now a sinful, Godless, country, and to start afresh with a country which he believes could be re-positioned closer to God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Here are some biblical and historical accounts of these magical, ancient, men: kings who came from afar to pay homage to the infant Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/reclaimingbeautymain.blogspot.com\/2020\/01\/three-wise-men-in-modern-world.html\">more.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EARLIER THIS YEAR,\u00a0Kidist Paulos Asrat at\u00a0Reclaiming Beauty in a post titled &#8220;The Three Wise Men in the Modern World&#8221; wrote about the anti-American flavor of E.
