MORE INFORMATION AND/OR OTHER SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:

Numbers 24:17: "I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the sons of Sheth."

The Magi were Gentiles. Matthew shows that people of all nations acknowledged Jesus as "king of the Jews" and came to worship Him as Lord.
