The Magi “saw” the Star of Bethlehem. “We saw His Star”
“In the days of Herod the king, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.’” — Matthew 2:1–2
“His Star” was seen before the death of Herod in 4 BC, a date firmly established through historical synchronisms, Roman records, succession evidence, archaeology, and astronomy. Therefore, “His Star”could not have been the popular conjunctions of 2 and 3 BC.
The Magi said, We saw His Star, They had to see it, ruling out events in Virgo during September, when the constellation was “clothed with the sun” and invisible. Likewise, the conjunctions in 6 BC were below the horizon and therefore unseen.
What exactly was “His Star”? Who were the Magi?
What is the real “Bright and Morning Star”?
It’s not what most people think.
How did the Star appear to stand over the place where the Child was?
What is a Zodiacal Light, and could it hold the key to this ancient mystery?
The immense rarity of this specific astronomical sign the Magi witnessed explains why it would have been interpreted as a sign of unparalleled importance, signaling the birth of an eternal king in Judea, the King of the Jews. It was not just another planetary meeting; it was a once-in-a-millennium celestial announcement!
What does the historical, archaeological, and astronomical evidence reveal about His Star? In From Babylon to Bethlehem: The Bethlehem Star Revealed, uncover the surprising truth about what His Star really was. Come along and travel back in time and view the heavenly sights of long ago as we join the Magi on their Journey from Babylon to Bethlehem.
“As an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer as well as Bible teacher, I have been enthusiastically contemplating for many years the background behind the enigmatic Star of Bethlehem which led the Magi to Jesus. In this new book, AC Katz will take you on an amazing historical, theological, archaeological, and astronomical journey exploring the Bethlehem Star. Was the Bethlehem Star a conjunction of planets? Conjunction of Stars? A comet? Was it a supernatural event? You will certainly find all of her research fascinating and worth the read. Her attention to detail and conversational writing is enjoyable and highly recommended.”
