Interesting Reading.

I did some tonight.
It’s massive to digest.  I read it all, so it’s there but sorting through it now, and mulling it over — that is going to take a while.
What am I talking about?
Glad you asked.

The Star of Bethlehem.

Does GOD speak with Stars?
Try on this excerpt with me.   This clip was copied from the LINK above.

In the Book of Job, Chapter 9, Job credits God with creation of the stars and constellations:

He is the Maker of the Bear [Ursa Major] and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

And in Job Chapter 38, God makes much the same point. He, not man, is sovereign over the creation, particularly the constellations:

31 “Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion? 32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons…

Many other Biblical writers in many other passages state that God arranged the stars. For example, says the Book of Isaiah in Chapter 40:

Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

And from Psalm 19.

The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
² Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
³ There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
⁴ Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.   . . . source

I’m not a learn-ed woman. I’m not a scholar.
In fact, I have a saying: if I can see (understand, comprehend) it, anybody can!

So, without education other than my personal reading and hearing of Scripture, I don’t think JESUS was placed in that feeding trough on December 25. Now I can believe that He was implanted in Mary’s womb on December 25 or thereabout.  What does that do to what I read?
I don’t know. But it was interesting.
