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 “Death to America” or its subtext, “Death to Christian America,” proclamation. And why doesn’t Jones understand, or acknowledge this?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Perhaps he does wish “death to America,” 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> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EARLIER THIS YEAR,\u00a0Kidist Paulos Asrat at\u00a0Reclaiming Beauty in a post titled “The Three Wise Men in the Modern World” wrote about the anti-American flavor of E.
