An Astronomical Event.
Scientists think that they can prove the event of the explosion of a giant supernova star occuring around the time of the birth of Jesus and they also believe it was a prominent feature in the skies of the middle-east for over one year.
The prophet Daniel knew about it long before the event and Baalim also knew about it much further back still. Daniel had great sway over the Babylonian court of his day and it was from these men that the Magi came, setting out from Persia to Israel to find the King of the Jews.
But baby Jesus came as a humble servant to this lost world, to save us from our sins. That is what Christmas and Easter are all about, the celebration of a promised birth and the death and resurrection of a Savior.
Numbers 24:17, Daniel 6:25-28, Matthew 2:1-12.
God bless you this speacial season and may you come to know these truths as we do.
Ask me and I will tell you!
