Actually, it's more likely they saw a confluence of three stars. Regulus The King Star, Jupiter the King Planet (and the Jews called it "Righteousness") and Venus (signifying birth). But YMMV. Nonetheless God built nature and :the heavens declare His glory".
Ed, I wouldn't bet on any given physical form for the star. Could have been anything. Could have been created on the spot. I just tend to favor God using the nature He created for whatever He wants to do.
Great is Jehovah, the Lord Let Heaven and earth testify to His great power,
'Tis heard in the fierce raging storm In the torrent's loud thundering roar. Great is Jehovah the Lord Might His power.
'Tis heard in the rustling of leaves in the frest Seen in the waving of golden fields Midst loveliest flowers' gaudy array "Tis seen in myriads of stars in heaven ...

Mustang, I feel Motivated and not tired at all. I'm gonna keep punching. Maybe there is a single person who is affected and they will affect others. It's easy, it doesn't cost anything at all. Information is free. Ideas are free. And that is likely all we get.
But I would love to see the physical Jesus Christ here in this world and then see what becomes of that.

Now if He would just come back for a little while. Or the End as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteKid,
DeleteNow if He would just come back for a little while. Or the End as far as I'm concerned.
I admit that I think exactly the same thing. In fact, Mr. AOW and I discuss that topic almost every morning -- after we watch the news.
AOW, We are but caretakers of all that is around us. When our job is done, we will be moved to undisclosed locations.
DeleteHe is back, Kid ... He lives within us.

What a beautiful thing to say!
Christians are supposed to be the Body of Christ.
DeleteED, Now you're getting into areas where I'm not educated. The only Body of Christ I know is the communion 'bread'. I'm not arguing with you though.
