Actors, actress, people, strived for a star on Hollywood walk of fame. God gave the whole world a star so we would know his son was born and this child would one day sacrifice his life to save all mankind. Even those that don't believe we're saved. Only thing to have eternal life is except.
Christmas was prophesied in the uncut, as well as the cut, Bible-therefore cut Bibles are missing confirmation of Maccabees, while still containing the prophetical warnings of Zechariah (including December 24 as eve of Christ, 'the temple' Cornerstone's ceremonial laying not once, but twice-ninth month of the Jewish Biblical Calendar Year)😁
This would make a fantastic movie.
Go for it
Love this & have watched the previous one in the past. Loving the new info… but I have one ask… can you upload it again using better bandwidth (and actually fitted to modern TV’s, even if it’s just colors on the sides) or whatever makes the video paused every couple seconds? But mostly just hoping you’ll reupload with better WiFi or equipment or whatever you need to so that is casts smoothly? I’d love to listen/watch time and again but the constant pausing when casting makes it had to have the impact intended. Thanks so much for reading my suggestion/request 🫶🏻
Jusus was born on March 1, 7BC in Bethlehem of Judea , a residential complex a kilometer from Qumran. It was originally a palace for Hasmonean royalty. It was called the Queen's House. The Star of Bethlehem' was not an astronomical or cosmological event. Joseph (Jesus' father) formed an alliance with Theudas, the head of the Therapeutes. The 2 in warrior mode gave themselves titles taken from an OT verse. Joseph was the 'Star' (of David), and Theudas was the 'Scepter'. The West Manasseh Magi were a priestly caste of Samaritan philosophers founded in 44BC by Menahem and later led by Simon Zelotes. The Magians were Joseph's political associates. When they 'followed the star' they were agreeing with Joseph that a new Davidic king (Jesus) had been born. Because they recognized him as king, they were accepting him as legitimate. The Magi came to hail a new member of the David dynasty to .work with them in mission. Jesus birth was of great importance to them, for they head just formalised their recent protest against Herod the Great & setting up an opposition party to him.
EXCELLENT THEORY !! FROM U.K. (2022)
Beautiful video
Thanks!
I think the Star of Bethlehem was Jupiter temporarily covered with hyper-aurora during a great conjunction, appearing with the brilliance of a 'second star' in our solar system. Most solar flares pass without effect throughout our Solar System. But when some Carrington Event Level Flares impacts Jupiter, it can have some spectacular effects.
Much like that movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact, where Jupiter shined like a star. When people ask me where the Star of Bethlehem is, I answer it may have never left.
"No. To me, it's like two stars….that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they don't fall….It's something that's not going to hurt us but we're going to see it. In that moment, we're going to see our conscience. You're going to see everything wrong that you're doing."

Finally yes he got it right on prophecy done
Wow.
Herod likely became aware of the Magi's escape when Anna and Simeon began spreading the news through Jerusalem that they had seen the Christ Child when He was presented at the Temple when He was 40 days old.
In all likelihood the Star of Bethlehem was Jupiter. That is what the Magi followed. The conjunctions simply told them whey to go and maybe when to go. Jupiter would also explain how and why the Magi had to go through Herod and why they were so happy to see the star again after they left Herod. They saw Jupiter, but then it was obscured by the sun before they arrived in Judea. Then after they left Herod Jupiter had a heliacal rising. We know from astronomy that Jupiter had a heliacal rising sometime in the fall of 2 BC and then moved westward each day until on December 25, 2BC (the 3rd day of Hanukah) it came to a standstill directly over Bethlehem.
I don’t have room to share the many reasons that cannot be true either from the biblical story or physically. Let me try one liners: no evidence Anna and S spread the news throughout Jerusalem, Jupiter rises once a year helically, Jupiter did not “stop” in the two hour time frame in which the final trip to Jerusalem takes place and NEVER stopped in the heavens when they were walking to Jerusalem or ever except relatively you’re referring to retrograde which is mistaken as “stopping”, it stood at 60 degrees south from Jerusalem and moved across their field of vision. They were NOT surprised and overjoyed to see Jupiter - it appeared incrementally brighter for a week - but the conjunction was one day only for 40 minutes. It “stood” on the horizon due to atmospheric refraction directly in line from the Herodium to Bethlehem on the ancient road at sunset.
42:37 conception?
Magi are coming up. Come up if you like. Now is the time.
Kasey Hunt huh?
Andrew Reese It is a digital society thing lol. No worries! Carry on! 😛
@@pookiedrax I agree 🤷🏼♀️
Air tight.
I pray I can meet Andrew Reese someday.
G O you’d be disappointed 😉
@@freedomprayer8612 No way!
Jupiter "crowning" Regulus happens all the time, i.e. 180 BCE, 168 BCE, 97 BCE, etc.
totally right - it is simply an add on to the conjunction
@@pookiedrax Thanks for the reply! I just wanted to put my two cents worth in. I've been researching what was the original orientation of the Temple. I believe that God told Solomon how to orient the Tem;ple by placing the foundation stone on Iyar 2 (2 Chronicles 3:2). The reason that the orientation was important is that the Temple needed to be orientated so that the holy of holies (where God sits) could view the Resurrection. The date this happened was Nisan 18, 3790 (April 7th, 30 CE). Now in Judaism, a righteous man, i.e. Moses, is born and dies on the same day for a complete life. Using this concept, if you go back 33 years from April 7th, 30 CE (Gregorian), you land on the day Jesus was born - Iyar 2, 3756 (April 7, 5 BCE)!

Johnny Blaze we both got great info from earlier sources. He popularized it and forced it to be Christmas. I changed and added to EXACTLY fit the science, culture, and biblical narrative without any logic leaps. You should do some studying before a quick comment. I think you’d find it intriguing. But thanks for your interest.
I never put a lot of stock in what " Atheists" attempt to tell us what's true & what's not true..for many reasons..not the least is..." The FOOL has said in his heart...there is NO....God" Pam.14:1 ;53:1..also ck,Prof.14:12 ; 16:25...
Right. And I agree. The problem is that millions of people are on the fence and poking fun at the “We three kings from orient are…” and saying: “surly you’re not foolish enough to believe THIS BS is true. And (here we go with meta knowledge) if this is a myth then really, how much of the rest is a myth. I mean miracles, resurrection, demons!!?? Get real. Skip church.” And there are so many on the fence. But if I can show this “myth” has a high probability of actually being true?? Ahhh then the tables are turned and meta knowledge works in the opposite direction.
If there is truth about the bible?how come god don't know what is a star.
valvox vo I honestly have no idea what you just said. Sorry.
The Bible is quoting what the Maji said in Matthew 2:2: “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.”. It is the Maji that called it a star as they did not know about planets at that time.
@@jd-upnorthinminn2959 even jesus don't what is a star rev6;12-13
Valvox, please keep in mind that 1. Revelations was written by The apostle John, not Jesus, and 2. The book was an interpretation of his visions so I don't believe the stars mentioned are literal suns.
I think this is a good explanation: www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/revelation/revelation-6/revelation-6-13.html
This was amazing and you do know that the Star of Bethlehem conjunction with Jupiter and Saturn is happening on December 21st 2020 right??? Jesus bless you 🕊👑🙇♀️❤🌟
Jupiter and Saturn was not the conjunction of the star. It was not possible. It had to be Venus and Jupiter
@@pookiedrax You are so correct. I would like to discuss this topic with you (some data is missing here and misapplied, but the bulk is good - just incomplete) Like how does this align with Dec 25th? Did Jupiter disappear after June 17th and much more. What was the biblical significance or the Dec 2020 conjunction (And the one that occurred prior to the "Bethlehem Star" as well as other significant events)
good video but the speaker believes we live on a spinning ball. Bible says differently.
I’m not sure how to respond to that. Flat earth? Spinning earth-centric universe? Maybe a specific bible verse might help.
Genesis 1:1-19 how the two waters were separated and the dome/firmament was stretched out..
The earth is fixed and immovable 1st Chronicles 16:30
Psalm 93:1
Thanks for clarifying that point, glad to see someone had. The earth is immovable, and certainly not a spinning ball...
Melissa Farrugia what that verse is proclaiming is not that the earth does not move, but that it shall not “be moved” I.e. nobody and nothing will make the earth change and move from its created state.
