However, whether or not magi vidited as the tale goes, it is no midtake that we find the story here, in scripture. For what ever reason, Astrologers of some particular type apparently are acceptable and wekcome visitors by the Chriist and Holy Family. That's the Word.
The implication seems to support the fact that the Jews, until this very day, revere a Jewish Astrology, Kabbalah. Tghe rabbi study historical Kabbalah, what we would call Jewish Mysticism, and which they, the Rabbi, define as "The Secret Esoteric Knowledge of Israel."
In this nagi story, it appears the long held dislike for astrology in Christian theology has a gaooing hole available for Jew inputs.
