As the Wise Men journey towards the manger in Bethlehem, it is a good time to remind ourselves of the presents they brought for the Baby Jesus; gold, frankincense and myrrh. Now, it is proposed by the scholars of the 19th century that these gifts were appropriate because gold represented Christ the King, Frankincence is for anointing and healing Exodus 30:34 and symbolizes sinlessness Lev:5:11 and myrrh is used to anoint a body (John 19:39), and thus that they foretold of the King of Heaven, sinless and eventually dying (temporarily.)
All well and good, but is this the correct interpretation? We must bear in mind that the significance is only man made – It does not say in the Bible why the Wise Men chose these gifts. Remember, these men were wise – really wise! If they were that wise, they would know that foretelling the future is a sin!

Note then the answer,
OK, that leaves gold. Consider the way an enema has to be administered; the last thing you want is sharp edges. Gold is extremely ductile and soft. If you are going to have something inserted, then surely there is an advantage in its being gold.
Let us not stop here but refer ourselves to a great biblical scholar, Prune Danish, who, in this post puts forward solid reasoning to show that Jesus was crucified when he was about 46 years old. A little early for prostate trouble, but not unheard of.
I think that Jesus would have appreciated something for His prostate more than a few gifts “foretelling” something.

I would appreciate learning more about Myrrh and why it is useful as an enema additive in the treatment of prostata trouble.
Frankincense and myrrh are both resins that come from trees of the genus Boswellia (frankincense) and Commiphora (myrrh). Boswellia extract has been found to be possibly helpful in the treatment of the prostate as well as a number of other maladies.

, or some such. Who is going to rev up the Romanist spin machine? Major Tom? Mo?
