I know some have seen the post about The Christmas Star appearing this year on December 21st. I couldn't help but really take a deeper look at how amazing that this occurrence would be happening in the year 2020. In the year when Jesus was born, there was violence, chaos, political and social unrest. It was dark. The Magi found him by way of the star, which was the "meeting" of 3 stars: Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. They followed the star until it rested on where he was and they began to worship him. In a time where is was dark, Light was brought in to our world. Jesus stepped in to the chaos and brought peace. Fast forward to this year, 2020. It's a time of violence, chaos, political and social unrest. It is dark. Winter Solstice, December 21st, being a time where the day is the shortest and night is the longest...it's literally the "darkest day" and is the beginning of what most would say the cold, dark winter season. But on the darkest day this year, Jupiter and Saturn meet, giving us the Christmas Star! How fitting...that in the moment of time during the Christmas season that we get to see this beautiful reminder...that even in the darkest of times...Light will, and has, stepped in. In our chaos He is there. In our darkest time, He is there. He brings Light, and makes all things new. So as you look out on Dec 21st for the Christmas Star, may we be reminded of His power, and His Light that he brings for all mankind. He is perfect at stepping into chaos and bringing it into peace. Copied from a friend... you may do the same. Thank you Jesus!

As a kid I often wondered what it was the Magi saw in the sky. You just solved one of my big questions lol.
The conjunction of the planets was in the constellation of the Lion. The magi knew the messiah was called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
I found the Star of Bethlehem video good, and they have a website as well: https://bethlehemstar.com/starry-dance/coronation/
The lion , interesting!
Especially when you consider that we always promote the party of Trump using a lion. MAGA Lion
We all fall short of The Glory, but believe God is on our side. Some days are tougher then others, keep The Faith pedes. WE WON, WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT TO KEEP IT.
If you are interested in this you would enjoy looking into Orthodox apologetics, they demystify everything and trace all historic fact to presentation.
I will check it out, thank you!
:)
Yep:
It will be the closest great conjunction since July 16, 1623 and the first to be easily observable since March 4, 1226. Could it be the source of the “Star of Bethlehem” story? Source: forbes
Mixing astrology and Christianity. Wow, that’s pretty demonic.
Watch that Star of Bethlehem video, that was just linked. It's pretty spectacular and on the 21st we'll get to see for ourselves something that none of our recent ancestors ever got to.
Beautiful.
A question I've always had about this story - even if there were an especially bright star in the sky, something like 3 planets right next to each other making what looks like a very large star in the sky...how would that guide you to a specific place on earth? That's never been clear to me.

This video explains how it was discovered, or rediscovered, and goes in detail what the magi would have seen, it is extremely hard to refute.
In essence, to answer your question, planets are never stationary, they actually move sort of back and forth due to our own planets rotation. There is a point where they may appear to move backwards, or stand still. This stellar conjunction did so three times in a row in a position that would have appeared to stop right over Bethlehem for anyone standing in Jerusalem.
Okay...but Bethlehem is still a village with who knows how many buildings and inns. Even if it brings them to the right village, how do they make it to the manger? Seems like a plot hole, is my point.
You should watch the video, it does a much better job of explaining it than I can do to explain what's in the video. It's not like a simple 2+2 = 4 answer, every part of the magi's journey is explained and tied into stellar charts and the biblical references in a way that I could not type out on a message board.
Cool, I'll watch and get back to you
Just thinking about it, what do we think the size of the population of Bethlehem looked like at that moment in time, really? Can't have been too large, it's a village. So they're looking for a baby in a small village. They probably started their trek before he was born.
Counterpoint: Joseph brought his wife to that town for a mandated census, and the inns were all full. So the population would have been greater than normal at that moment than at a different time of the year.
Jesus was a toddler by the time they found him.
This is correct. Two years had passed from the sighting of the star to the Magi actually meeting Jesus. Which is why the manger scene that's so popular always irked me.
It doesn't. It's a fairy tale.
One that was written between 70-90 years after the events supposedly described. In a mostly illiterate, Aramaic speaking peasant society. Yet the books were written in Greek by highly educated people, relatively speaking. So not eye witnesses, and it's likely they didn't know any eye witnesses either.
"We believe these things because they are things worth believing in"
Not commenting on Christian tradition, as I am not religious, but I like that line from Secondhand Lions
I completely agree actually. I like the christian tradition. I just don't believe in it literally like I used to.
I DO Believe that our Constitution expresses values worth fighting for.
Same!
So the Jesus star was Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, and this year is that sans Mars? Just making sure I read it right

The evidence is pretty convincing.
Turns out Jesus was likely born around 6 BCE. The early church just had it wrong when they set the calendar.
I remember being taught this back in the 80s.
If you look into the history of the Christian calendar you quickly find that early on it was a complete mess that was "fixed" over time.
Dec 25 comes more from Roman paganism than actual historical evidence. We don’t the exact date and the Bible does not specify.
Sol Invictus
I'm pretty sure 12/21 is a satanic pedophile holiday as well, I think it's literally called feast day. About as Good vs Evil as you're ever going to see
Praise to Our Father in Heaven.
Just Love this 💕
This. Time. Line.
Uplifting post my fren.
...the time the USA needs its citizens to save the country.
Stop The Steal infrastructure, wiki, chat.
Feels good man. Feels good.
David had it on his shield that made him invincible in combat.
Solomon had it on his ring aka seal that gave him power to cast out demons.
Jesus had it in the sky at his birth.
A symbol of God's covenant with man - from Adam to Abraham to Jesus - TO YOU. When God is with you - by covenant - nothing can stand against you. Deut 28. For the covenant blessings there are also covenant penalties for breaking the covenant. That's why Jesus says to Peter "the gates of hell will not prevail" and then calls Peter Satan in the same chapter.
With the earthly view we orient to death and downward spiral. With heavenly view we orient to eternal life and endless growth like a mustard seed. When we combine the two we gain wisdom and perspective of of how opposition and trial in all things is how we are taught to know and understand God our Father.
Thank you for posting this. Nobody knows what Magen David means anymore.
Even David Icke gets it wrong.
The witch claims deep magic from the dawn of time but the Lion knows deeper "magic" from before the dawn of time.
David Icke is a shill.
Hey quick question: has anyone heard the Star of David referred to as a satanic symbol? I actually saw this today and was a little perplexed:
Acts 7:43 “ You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile' beyond Babylon.”
Are you trying to redpill people or genuine question? Yes it has to do with the star of Remphan, except the same symbol has different meanings in various cultures. It is two triangles, one up and one down. Very basic and visually appealing geometric shape.
No, I’m not trying to redpill. I didn’t even know about that symbol being not directly Jewish/Christian until yesterday
Lol, every single year there is violence, chaos and unrest.
Your post is just a bunch of fairy tale nonsense.
Help me with the math here...what other years has this happened?
Praise the Lord.
For all we know, the star of Bethlehem was a supernova.
That's not the friggin' Christmas Star, Gris. It's the light on the sewage treatment plant."
I'm sorry, OP. I love your post, and I've saved it, and you are right. We are hoping for clear weather on 21 Dec so we can see it.
But I had to.
Jesus was a Jew and so were his followers. Jesus is "the Christ" it is a title, not a last name.
"Christ comes from Christos, a Greek word that means “the anointed one,” or “the chosen one.”
The problem was that SOME Jews did not believe he was The Christ. Go peddle your antisemitism somewhere else.
chill bro you arent wrong
However you may feel about Israel, they were God’s chosen people and are still His chosen people. And in end times, they’ll accept Christ and be redeemed.
All Believers are God's chosen now.
Heretical blasphemy literally lmao

Nope,the 'stars' do not travel like a 747. And since this is a fiction book, HEY I say it was a UFO!
Save me your insults and 'preaching' I AM allowed free speech on this site.
Of course, anyone can insult or mock a fictional character. It is apparent he/she/it, your choice, god, has done exactly zero. Example --the Catholic Church called down the vengeance of god on apostates, so, since god was busy else where, the priests did the murder instead.
In other words, spare me your mental illness and self delusions
Thank you for the kind compliments, they are happily accepted.
As to were to find the Knowledge and how YOU can achieve it you need only do the following, with a mind 'like a parachute, it only works when it is opened'.
First a brief study of astronomy to see how stars DO move in the sky, hint its circular.
Second, a REAL study of how the bible came to be, and why and by whom and for what reasons. Briefly, it is a collection of stories from several nations, gathered into one binder, and used as a prop for Judaism. Who wrote them, when, where and why, no one can say with Proof and Certainty.
Then comes X-tainity, and steals the Hebrew writings and subsumes them into a new religion. It seems the rough outline of X-tainity is the work of "Saint " Paul as a means of revenge against being snubbed by his rabbi peers. Jesus, in the current spelling, was first a Preacher, then a Prophet, and at last, when they wanted to bring in the pagans, became the son of god, because that was in the pagan world view of religion. gods mating with humans and the rest. Ref; any secular and even some religious texts/books on the founding and creating of the early X-tain religion
Consider; your vaunted KJV bible. It was made by a king with NO mandate from god of any sort, in an effort to unify the English nations. He and his picked writers pick thru the texts HE liked, threw out ones that he did not like, and ones which were tainted by the Popeish Church. So we went from the bible of the Pilgrims, which context was "US against THEM' to the re creation of the social systems of the era of King James set into religious tones and themes. Ref. read any scholarly text on the creation of the King James Bible
Next take you 'hallowed' rally cry to the tune "All Hail Jesus, Call on Jesus to Save you' and rah rah. There is a Problem here, there is no such name. IF you want to call down the wrath of god on me for this, and you call on Jesus, you have got a wrong number.
A look at linguistics and the text is in order. First there is no "J" in the Roman alphabet. For long centuries the name was --IESUS. If you go back to Araimic and Hebrew languages, you will find the name of this person as [in English} as Joshua ben Joseph. Which at least makes sense; Joshua means 'god is my help' Ref: Strongs Concordance of the Bible
The 'last name ' is in fact a title, not a patronymic . Thus you have two errors in the infallible book of your claims. There are more; how about Genesis where 'god made breeches for Adam". Ref. look up the "Breeches Bible" of the17th Century.
And the Last Source of Knowledge, The Book of Life- I would wager I am old enow to be your grandfather, I have lived longer and learned more than thee.
Thank you for the kind reply- it was a pleasure to offer it
And Trump loves Jesus Christ and calls him Lord as well. So he's kicking Trump. Fuck this dude.
