1 | Why did it take the wise men so long... | NT general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 27713 | ||
Greetings AshestoBeauty! I'm still just guessing, but many believe that Daniel may have educated many in Persia about the coming Messiah. It may simply be that when they saw the "star" appear that they began to investigate and recalled the teachings of Daniel about the coming Messiah. Putting two and two together, they came up with four - which the Jews weren't able to do! :-) This is my best guess! I don't think that the star really had anything to do with it other than alerting them that something unusual was happening. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Do you believe God designed the stars as a form of learning for us to know Him better and "astrology" is just a counterfeit that Satan uses to distort that. Is it possible to find things out about God in the stars in a balanced way that can be beneficial to us as Christians? I guess what I'm trying to say is... where the wise men into astrology or did God reveal to them about the birth of Christ. An interesting fact: I was told that the gifts they brought where God's way of supporting Joseph and Mary financially. Ever heard that one before? |

Scripture ... Job 9:9, 38:31; Amos 5:8 ... ashestobeauty, I think we can learn from the stars. God did put the stars in place. But, some go overboard in their teaching. I think they studied the stars and God told them. They were obedient to Him as they left. I heard His gifts were used by His parents, maybe even to finance the trip to Egypt. S |
