Biblical im- • ages - Jews lived in light (knowledge). Gentiles lived in darkness (ignorance). Racial discrimination is a part of the imagery: Romans called non- Rodtans 'Barbarians' distingusihing them because they were unshaven. God, coming into the world in light (in the form of Jesus) cuts through these barriers - adopting all people to be a part of his kingdom, regardless of race, colour or language - hence the visit of the Magi and the ministry of Paul to the Gentile nations. Author of Ephesians explains terms `convenant' and 'testament' for us telling us we are all beneficiaries of God's bounty. Even now, at the first Epiphany, Matthew demonstrates Jesus is in the struggle of light versus darkness.. This time the powers at war are Herod, puppet king of the Jews against (genuinely interested equals worshipful) ?1) Gentile strangers, the Magi, wisemen. The year end reports are to be in to Rev.
