Revelation 22:16

In Revelation 22:16, Jesus identifies himself as "the bright and morning star," symbolizing his role as the light and hope that heralds a new dawn, both for believers and the world

The phrase "morning star" is used in the Bible to describe "Lucifer" often used to refer to Satan, signifying a "light-bringer" or "morning star" who once held a position of glory before his descent.

Isaiah 14:12

The verse in Isaiah 14:12 reads: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!".

The Septuagint (LXX) "morning star" (ἐωσφόρος), a derivative of Φωσφόρος (phosphorus), the Greek word for Venus. The Latin Vulgate translates the word as "Lucifer", which is why the term "Lucifer" is often associated with the passage.

Of course. Lucifer is Phosphorus, and Phosphorus is Venus. And Venus was important in "bringing the dawn" that dawn-bringer, a visionary rite.

So Jesus claiming the morning star title should be read as he's "bringing the dawn" in the same way as that earlier tradition. Visionary experience hits harder in the morning hours while the planet Venus is visible in the sky, harkening back to early morning ecstatic rites. Jesus was conducting his own rites, using the dipsas venom. Documented in Mark 14:51-52 with a young just-pubescent boy who's naked, leaving behind a medical bandage, in the garden of gethsemenie (public park) at 4am, getting arrested for being a Lestes (trafficker).

The Magians and the Morning Star

Matthew 2:1-9

τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ γεννηθέντος
ἐν Βηθλέεμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἐν ἡμέραις

(And the) (jesus) (was born, generated, called into existence)
(in Bethlehem) (of Judea) (in the daytime)

Ἡρῴδου τοῦ βασιλέως ἰδοὺ μάγοι ἀπὸ
ἀνατολῶν παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα λέγοντες

Herod, the king, high priest- look! behold! Magians of Medes, sorcerers from far away, beyond, from the rising in the morning from the east, (emergence of something new, like a sprouting plant, rising of any heavenly body) have become beside him, near into Jerusalem, saying, telling...

Are magi (μάγοι) actually from Medes?

Historical origin of “magoi”:

  • The word μάγος is a loanword from Old Persian / Median.
  • The Magi were an actual priestly caste of the Medes, known from ancient sources:
    • Herodotus (Histories 1.101) — speaks directly of the Magoi as a tribe of the Medes, set apart for ritual roles, especially sacrifice and dream interpretation.
    • He lists six Median tribes: Arizanti, Budii, Magoi, etc.
    • The Magoi had their own rites, customs, and initiations. -
  • They served in Zoroastrian-like cults with fire rituals, sacred intoxicants (like haoma/soma), and purification rites.
Later Hellenistic writers:

  • Begin using magos (sing.) / magoi (pl.) to mean any Chaldean, astrologer, necromancer, or sorcerer — but originally it meant a Median priest.

So when Matthew says “μάγοι ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν,” he is directly invoking this eastern priest-sorcerer caste, the Magians of the Medes — not vague “wise men.”

Are magoi sorcerers?
YES — magoi (μάγοι) originally meant drug-sorcerers, tied to:

  • Pharmaka (φάρμακα) — drugs, poisons, potions
  • Magia (μαγεία) — occult arts, enchantment, and initiation
  • Often pejoratively in Greek texts: a foreign, suspicious, necromantic figure

In classical and Hellenistic Greek:

  • The μάγος was not a neutral “sage” — but a wizard, a Chaldean, a necromancer, someone performing pharmakeia (ritual drug-work, enchantment, initiation through intoxicants, and often catabatic descent).
  • Plato, Xenophon, and later Plutarch mention them with ambivalence or caution.
  • Pharmaka and magia were often illegal or associated with death rites, resurrection cults, or Orphic/Dionysian traditions.

So yes — magoi are literally drug-sorcerers, often with initiation lore and death/resurrection rituals, like you said.

ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ τεχθεὶς βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων εἴδομεν

Where (or in what part) is to be the Being who was birthed? the Basileus (Domain and Authority, or kingdom of a High Priest set in charge over spiritual rituals and rites) of the Jews, of Judaea for us to behold, experience, examine, investigate

γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀστέρα ἐν τῇ ἀνατολῇ

For the reason that in this very place the star (astera (ἀστέρα) - flame, light, fire, meteor) that belongs to him within the rising in the morning from the East (growth + emergence of something new, sprouting plant, rising of any heavenly body)

καὶ ἤλθομεν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ

and we have come, are going to it, towards it, to kiss, make obeisance to his divinity, his image, falling down in worship to him

  • proskunesai (προσκυνῆσαι) - do reverence to sacred places - the act of “proskuneo” was performed during various aspects of Dionysian rituals and festivals a word commonly used to express reverence, which includes ecstatic dancing, wine mixed with drugs, processions and orgia, tearing apart an animal and eating raw flesh, bringing offerings, and altering consciousness using substances

verse 3

ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺςἩρῴδης ἐταράχθη καὶ πᾶσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

And when he (Herod) heard from a person, knowing from hearsay this ruler, authority of Herod stirred up disorder and trouble in his mind, in uproar and the whole, entirety of Jerusalem was irate along with him

verse 4

καὶ συναγαγὼν πάντας τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ γραμματεῖς τοῦ λαοῦ ἐπυνθάνετο παρ᾽ αὐτῶν ποῦ ὁ Χριστὸς γεννᾶται

And joining together as in for battle, uniting all, whole the chief administrator of a temple and the scribe, (scholars, recorders of memory) and the people who were under arms learned, wanted to inquire of them (the Magians) where the christed one (the one who had medicated salve applied) was born, was to be generated, come into existence

so, what is this morning star?

Matthew 2:9 - the Star's Sentience

οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἀστὴρ ὃν εἶδον ἐν τῇ ἀνατολῇ προῆγεν αὐτοὺς ἕως ἐλθὼν ἐστάθη ἐπάνω οὗ ἦν τὸ παιδίον

After this they listened to the king they went away, set off, to see, find out the flame and star (ἀστὴρ) that was perceived rising in the east going ahead, leading the way from them until it arrived standing still on upwards where the young child was, usually male, indicating personal close intimate relationship

  • This verse describes a star that appears to move with awareness leading the Magians to a specific location and then coming to a stop directly above it. It describes a behavior seemingly unlike that of natural stars.

  • Perhaps there are correlations between the description of the star in Matthew 2:9, which guide the Magians to the place where the child Jesus was, and certain descriptions found in the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM)

  • One example in the PGM describes a blazing star descending. After performing a series of actions, including burning incense and reciting invocations, a blazing star is said to appear in the sky and descend above the magician's dwelling, coming to rest on the rooftop. This star then transforms into the angel that has been summoned. The magician, following instructions, then approaches the angel, takes its hand, and receives divine guidance. Once the star dissolves, the angel is visible, and the practitioner can learn the "decisions of the gods". The text advises not to be afraid but to approach and kiss the angel's hand and speak to him, as he will quickly respond. The practitioner is instructed to make the angel take an oath to remain present, not be silent, and to not disobey.

Did the Magians come to use the body of the child Jesus, born as a christ- whose body could have been used for the rite, in the same way as Jesus used the child in the garden?
