What does east mean in the Bible passages referring to the magi who visited Jesus?

It means "east" of Bethlehem. The author of the book didn't know or didn't think it was important. Many people consider the "wise men" to have been Zoroastrian Magi, or priests. The Zoroastrian faith is the ancient faith of Persia (now Iran) which is east of Bethlehem. This makes sense in light of the teachings of the Baha'i Faith, that God (the Creator, Sustainer, etc. of the universe) has revealed His/Her will to humanity at different times and places through different individuals, one being Zoroaster, another being Jesus Christ, etc.
And this is consistent with the reported statement of Jesus that He had more to tell humanity but we could not bear it at that time, but One would come later to tell us more and He would have a new name.
That means when Christ returns, He won't be called Christ.
