Part 70 (Birth of Jesus – Departure of the Three Kings) Pasiong Mahal on page 25 says after a few days of their visit, they bid adieu to Joseph and Mary. The spirit of Ama said that the Three Kings stayed at Bethlehem for one week. Their stay in Bethlehem, therefore, would be from 33 BC 06-06 to 06-13 or 3728 Sivan 24 to Tammuz 1. Matthew 2:12 states: “And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.” Pasiong Mahal says that on the night before they finally departed, an angel of the Lord told them not to show up to Herod anymore. They heeded what the angel told them. They passed in another way to avoid Jerusalem. Since they came from the east of Palestine, namely, Persia, Arabia, and Saba, their kingdoms must be beyond the Dead Sea. They might have travelled to Ein Feshcha (Ein Feshkha) which was due east of Bethlehem, north to Qumran, and to the northern shores of the Dead Sea. Since it was June, there was no rain. The wadi of Kidron was dry and not dangerous to cross. The Kidron passes south of Jerusalem and east of Bethlehem, and empties into the Dead Sea.
