-First, there is an Old Testament prophesey regarding the birth of
Christ (Messiah / King)
to be born in Bethlehem (in Hebrew the house of bread).
-Christ had to be born before Herod died (4 BC - 3 B.C.E.)
-The "star" was seen ONLY by the wise men (astrologers/astronomers)
because it was revealed in an ancient astrological chart and was not a
singular 'visible' actual astronomical event.
-The star chart can be seen at
http://www.templeofsolomon.org/pageone.htg/pageone.htm
The New Testament account of the star (Gospel of Matthew) also contains
many allegorical elements regarding the Sun ... which is the star that
rises in the east.... etc.
Please also note that the Persian Magi were HIGHLY ADVANCED and had the
knowledge of the builders of The Great Pyramid at Giza which is a
monument to light, the astronomy of the Sun and the ENTIRE solar
system. See,
