Why the Wise Men Never Found Jesus in the Manger: The True Story of Christmas

Discover the history of the Christmas story and the real Nativity story in this deep dive into Biblical history. Most people don't realize that where Jesus was born and the identity of the Three Wise Men are often misunderstood due to tradition rather than the Biblical context. In this episode of Bible Unknown, we examine the meaning of the manger and the reality of the Magi caravan to separate cultural myths from the historical origins of Scripture. We explore the first-century culture of Judea to explain why the "inn" was likely a family guest room and why the manger was located inside a humble home. We also reveal that the Bible never specifies the number of Magi, who likely traveled in a massive multitude for protection. By understanding the timeline of King Herod and the Magi, we finally see why Jesus was likely a toddler, and not a newborn, when the travelers arrived. Join us as we bring light to the ancient history of the most famous birth in human history. #biblefacts #christmas #jesus #biblehistory #bible
