The wise men had for years been watching the stars and watching the signs. Back then, astrology was a science, and the wise men knew that Jesus was important. Besides, why would they kill a helpless child? There is no suggestion in the Christmas story that the wise men wanted to kill Jesus. The wise men were believed to have been of the religion known as Zoroastrianism. This religion involved the careful study of the stars as a science, but one that offered real insight. These men knelt in worship of Jesus. It is important to remember that the Gospel of Matthew actually states that states that the wise men (Magi, or kings) came from the east to worship the Christ was how born King of the Jews. There would have been absolutely no reason to kill him.
