The Magi of Persia in Daniel’s day circa 540 b. c. were taught by the Jewish prophet the time that the Messiah would be killed (then resurrect) in Jerusalem, exactly 483 years after the command (by Persian king Artaxerxes in 444 b. c.) to rebuild Jerusalem (Daniel 9), and the prophecy (Micah 5: 2) that He would be born in Bethlehem, so when the light in the sky appeared to the Magi in Persia indicating the soon birth of the Messiah, they followed that light for about seven hundred miles westward to the house in Bethlehem where the child Jesus (whom the Magi called King of the Jews) had been moved.
