Scripture Post #7: *NATIVITY SCENE?!*

Matthew 2:11: "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."

I don't know why we were told that "The 3 Wise Men" came to worship "Baby Jesus" at the "Manger"! This Scripture states that by the time the wise men (not the 3 wise men) got to JESUS, JESUS was at a HOUSE, NOT A MANGER. And according to Matt. 2:7 & 16, JESUS was about 2 YEARS OLD when the wise men came! JESUS WASN'T A NEWBORN BABY AT THE NATIVITY SCENE WITH 3 WISE MEN! According to these two verses, (7 & 16) it's possible that the wise men had been in search for JESUS for 2 years!

Matt. 2:7: "Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared."

Matt. 2:16: "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men."
