"For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." This was said by the wise men who came from the east to seek the Christ child in Matthew 2:2. These men were learned men who studied the stars and were looking for the coming Messiah. We do not know whether they were Jewish or not, however we do know that there was a remnant of Jews who stayed in Persia and Babylon area after the captivity. They may have known this from godly men like Daniel who stayed after the captivity and was given great wisdom and boldness from God. Men of God proclaimed his message boldly and this taught others the truth about God and caused them to look up and watch for his coming.
What has God revealed to you through his Holy Scriptures that he would have you to proclaim so others would be drawn to look for his coming? God uses faithful men and women to proclaim his love and his judgment. God is counting on you today to bring the light of the gospel where ever you go so others may come to know him also.
Here are some great quotes from a book called "The Calling" by Brother Andrew.
"The Bible is full of ordinary people who went to impossible places and did wondrous things simply because they decided to obey God."
"God is waiting for us to walk forward in obedience so he can open the door for us to serve him."
