abstract
  • He was one of the Three Wise Men who visited Jesus when he was born in Bethlehem, and Jewish recorders referred to and gave him by the name "Amos Magi", meaning "Amos Wise" (Hebrew: עמוס חכם) which was actually meant to be "Amos the Wise". Some Biblical sources also referred to him by "Amos Balthazar" and referred to his native language as "sounding similar but not too close to Hebrew", meaning his native tongue could have been Arabic or an Arabian language. Arab and Islamic sources refer to his name as Balthazar. Amos was also a great builder, and transformed Damascus to resemble Jerusalem. He reigned around the same time King Herod ruled Judea, and is regarded as the Arab counterpart to Herod as Balthazar held great enmity against King Herod and defeated him in a war after Herod tried to invade Syria. Amos was very involved in the church during his career. He allegedly visited Egypt and Sudan, paving an earlier history of the Arab presence in North Africa prior to Islam. He returned to his Arabian homeland, where he encountered Christian preachers. A native preacher by the name of Abdul Duwas recorded, "The man who called himself Balthazar is native to here and visited the Messiah at his birth before going to Egypt and returning here."
