 Matthew has highlighted the prophetic riddle of the Old Testament so much so, that we are barely into chapter 2 and had to skip over much of chapter 1 to get here. He is excited to share the prophetic riddle. This is important as the Star of Bethlehem is examined closely. In Matthew's genre of riddle, does he intend to tell us that there is a literal star? or does he use it as a figure as well?

 :Now using Israel, his spiritual purpose is revealed:
 :Sceptre - שׁבט 'shebet' tribe, rod. Since the prophecy calls for a man, referred to as "he", he will be the leader of captain of the tribe; a ruler. This is why Herod was worried.
-:Israel - ישׂראל
+:Israel - ישׂראל man ישׂ joined to God אל by the revelation ר. Remember that the first name of God, Elohim, means God separated from man by a lack of understanding.
 :But the sceptre shabet שׁבט sounds like shabbat שׁבת sabbath which means 'rest'.  The wise men from the east; from Moab, enemies of Israel,  were not afraid to come to the newborn king because they knew he was a king of peace. This also was a clue that Herod would not be a king of peace. What need would there be for peace if Herod had already accomplished it. The prophecy warns them against Herod.

 :When the children were being killed, why didn't the parents point to Joseph and Mary and say "They are the ones with the special beacon!"
 It is improbable that it was a special ball of light.
