The bible tells us about providential leaders. A providential leader is an enlightened, guided, inspired person. The providential leader comes with a mission. The providence is the divine prudence that everything disposes: "Oh Father, you rule everything with Providence" Wisdom 14:3.
The Magi in the bible is the example of a providential leader. Jesus descends from a magi king, King Solomon; and when he is born he is visited by three magi.
But what is a magi king? Medicine is a science, this is the one who is ignorant of medicine, the one who opines of medicine and the one who knows medicine. Who knows medicine is a doctor of medicine. Wisdom is a science. The person who knows of wisdom is the doctor of wisdom. But here is a difference, to be a doctor of wisdom, you don't have to do a career at a university.
Wisdom is the supreme science, the science of God. The doctor of wisdom is a person capacitated by God to give knowledge of wisdom through listening. God imprints wisdom in the heart. Magi means "doctor of wisdom" in the bible.
When a doctor of wisdom rules he does so in the name of God, the magi represents the divine providence among men.
God makes Solomon a doctor of wisdom in dreams:
"At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, ´Ask for whatever you want me to give you.´
Solomon answered, ´You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a heart that knows how to listen, to judge your people, and to discern between good and evil.´
The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, ´Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked.I will give you a wise and understanding heart.´"
1 Kings 3:5-12; 2 Chronicles 1:7-12.
"The kingdom of God is among you" said Jesus in Luke 17:21. The kingdom of God outside of us is the government of the "doctor of wisdom", of the "magi king"
A magician king is an enlightened, inspired person. King Solomon resolves what is presented to his judgment as God in person in 1 Kings 3:16-28, the case of King Solomon and the two prostitutes.
A magician king is also a guided person, like the three wise men who receive God's guidance when visiting the baby Jesus in the manger, Matthew 2:1-12.
