FINAL JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM
One of the wise men mentioned in the Holy Bible believed to be come from an African country called Yemen. This Wise man was an astrologer and observed the sky on a daily basis. It was his job to predict the weather patterns and inform it to his king. He monitored the changes in the sky and patterns of planets movements. He was good in predicting the changes in weather. One day he sees the pattern of Planet positions were changed and saw the rise of new star in the sky. He believed this would be the beginning of new era for humans or symbolic representation of major changes to humans. He informed the abnormal activities in the sky to his king. The king asked him “what will cause to humans”? The Astrologer replied to him that it will be the sign of birth of a new king and this king may rule the whole world. This king may establish new world order. The king gave him a bag full of Gold coins and told him “You need to start your journey today and meet the new king and tell him our good wishes.” The king advised him to buy some gift on his way and give to the new king.
The astrologer prepared his journey and left the country on a camel. He was traveling in the direction of city of Babylon. After several months of Journey, he finally reached at the city of Babylon. He decided to take a break and slept in a hut for few days. He thought it would be a good idea to buy some gift from Babylon for the new king. He walked into the market and found a Jewelry store. He asked the owner of the store that he wants to buy some ornaments made out of new gold. He explained to the jewelry owner future that his king wants to give it as a gift to a new king who is going to be born soon. The owner of the store was a widow and she had one daughter. Her husband several years ago and managed to survive by herself. She had one daughter from the marriage and raised her. She collected some new gold for her daughter and she planned to give it her for wedding. Her daughter was only 3 years old and unfortunately she was infected with some skin disease. The mother was disappointed in her daughter’s skin disease and local Physicians could not find a cure for the disease. The astrologer said to the widow-Jewelry owner that the new prince will be divine. He will be the king of the whole world and establish a new order of life for Humans.
The mother did not think about her daughter and she gave the new gold which she collected for her daughter’s wedding to the astrologer. The mother asked him” please stop by here on your way back to home. Let me know more about this king.” The astrologer replied “I will”. The astrologer left the city of Babylon and found the star on the sky is getting bright. The star appear to be become big and bigger. The astrologer predicted the direction of the star pointing towards Jerusalem. The astrologer travelled during night time and slept during day time. On his way towards Jerusalem, he met another 2 wise men with some merchants. They were coming from the east following the star. One of the wise man said he had a dream that a woman conceived a child of God-a divine conception and she will deliver a baby. He said there are three new stars appeared in the sky and another star which gives us the direction to Jerusalem. The new stars will be the symbolic representation of three different persons or kings. The third wise man believed to be come from Indochina said, the new star will be the indication of new civilization and birth of a new religion. They continued their journey and found the position of star is keeps drifting. The star was moving towards the city of Bethlehem not to Jerusalem. After months of journey, the three wise men came to the city of Bethlehem. They decided to meet the local king Herod so that they get any information about the new born king.
The three wise men told the king that they saw a rising star in the sky and appears to grow everyday. Now the start starts to shrink and moving towards Bethlehem. King Herod asked him what this star means to us. One of the wise men replied that a new king will be born in the city of Bethlehem and star will be the symbolic representation of new era. King Herod was afraid that new born king will take over his kingdom. King Herod told the wise men to follow the star and find the child. Once you find the child, please come back to here, and gave me the direction how to see the new born child. I would to raise him in my own palace. The wise men continued their journey to find the new born child. King asked his counselors to look for the new star in the sky and they were unable to see anything on the sky. The star was disappeared from the sky for twenty four hours. The people of Bethlehem were unable to see the star in the sky. King Herod waited several days and the wise men did not return to his palace. The wise men met infant Jesus and gave the gift to him. The wise men followed the star and left the city of Bethlehem. They realized that star won’t move into reverse direction. They decided to follow the path of star instead of going back to the palace of King Herod. King Herod lost his patience and ordered to kill all the new born children. Joseph the step father of Jesus took Jesus into Egypt to survive from the massacre.
The widow, the owner of jewelry store in Babylon waited for years to meet the wise man who never returned to her store. She was getting sick and by this time her daughter became a teenager. Since she had a skin disease, it is impossible for her to find a groom for her wedding. The mother died and left the daughter as an orphan. Before her death, the mother told about the wise man, and the birth of new king which may take place in the city of Jerusalem. After mother’s death, the daughter decided to sell her property and find the new prince. She knew that new prince owned the gold which was intended for her wedding. The daughter prepared her journey and left the city of Babylon.
On her way to Jerusalem, she met some merchants who came from Jerusalem. They told her there is a prophet called Jesus who does miracles. The girl was excited to see the new prophet and may be he can cure her skin disease. After months of Journey, She finally reached at Jerusalem. The city was empty and she could not find any crowd. The city appears to be a ghost town. She asked one stranger “what is going on over here; I do not see any crowd”? The stranger replied” Pontiac Pilate is going to crucify a prophet today evening”. The stranger pointed the direction where Jesus was walking with the cross.
The woman followed the crowd and saw several women were following Jesus. She moved close to Jesus and Jesus Turned his face to her. She saw Jesus face was bleeding with Blood. She immediately took her white veil and wiped Jesus’ face. The Jewish Soldiers did not like her helping Jesus and beat Jesus intended to bleed more. The soldiers did beat her and pushed her out of the crowd. The woman was so tired and decided to go back to her room. She rented a small room at Jerusalem where foreigners were staying. On that day, Sun rose so early in the dawn and set early in the after noon. Suddenly dark clouds appeared over the city of Jerusalem and birds started to flew away from the city. The woman immediately observed the strange activities in the sky since she used to travel in night time for years. The people in Jerusalem feared and stayed inside their homes. The cloud became so thick and dark and she saw fire appeared in the deep sky. The fire appeared to be the face of three human’s resemblance to Abraham, Moses and Mary mother of Jesus and finally merged into single one resemblance to Jesus. The fire was moving towards the city of Jerusalem. The earth started to shake and everybody felt it as an earth quake. The woman was not afraid to stay outside since she felt it was safe to stay outside the room. She did not know that it was the time that Jesus died. The fire started to disappear from the sky and the dark clouds followed the fire. The darkness of the sky appeared afterwards.
Jesus was crucified on that evening and the woman was disappointed that she was unable to talk to him. The woman woke up early next day morning and found that her skin disease was completely cured. She realized that a miracle was happened to her body. She was told by others that Jesus was crucified on the previous night and buried afterwards. She was told about Mother Mary and Jesus’ disciples who were hidden from the Public. They were afraid that Jewish leaders will kill them one by one. The Woman decided to meet mother Mary otherwise her journey would not accomplish anything. The woman tried to find the whereabouts of Mother Mary. She finally met an old woman in the street and she pointed out the place where Mother Mary staying.
