"The
conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter is supposed to be a repeat of the
biblical star. Does this mean we can expect some kind of miracle or coming?"
I follow the
news, ancient and modern prophets (most are highly questionable) and the Bible
very closely. The December 2020 Saturn Jupiter Conjunction is amazing to view,
but it’s not That Star.
Based on my
research, biblical stars could have been planets or stars in the Hebrew and the
Greek. Here’s the problem: The ancients knew the difference between planets and
stars because they kept detailed records of everything. The Jews, Babylonians
and Chinese all have ancient records of the stars, planets and comets. The
Bible clearly recorded constellations of stars and planets as being separate
entities, listing many by name.
I would
argue that the ancients observed and recorded the planets, stars and asteroid’s
movements better than today because everyone used the stars for travels and
geographic locations. Accurately analyzing the night skies was life or death
for them on land or water.
There are a
few instances of asteroids hanging in the skies, like a Rhomphaia Judgment
Sword (Greek long sword used by a horseman or a charioteer) when God was
messaging them.
In the
Septuagint (LXX-Greek Old Testament), when King David sinned by taking a
census, God offered him three options. King David chose the third option, which
was the Rhomphaia of God killing 70,000 of his people.
David raised
his eyes and saw the angel of *Adonai* standing between the earth and the sky,
and in his hand was a drawn sword [LXX Gr. Rhomphaia-long sword] stretched out
over Yerushalayim. Then David and the leaders, wearing sackcloth, fell on their
faces. David said to God, “Wasn’t it I who ordered the census of the people?
Yes, I am the one who has sinned and done something very wicked. But these
sheep, what have they done? Please! Let your hand be against me and my father’s
family, but not against your people, striking them with this plague!” 1
Chronicles 21:16–17 (CJB)
Josephus in
his Book “of the War” "Thus it was that the wretched people were deluded
at that time by charlatans and pretended messengers of the deity; while they
neither heeded nor believed in the manifest portents that foretold the coming
desolation, but, as if thunderstruck and bereft of eyes and mind, disregarded
the plain warnings of God. So it was when a star [Gr. Astarte], resembling a
sword [Gr. Rhomphaia-long sword], stood over the city, and a comet which
continued for a year." (War 6.5.4 288-289)
I argue that
these incidents, and others, were comets or asteroids. I argue that the
Bethlehem Star was a comet or an asteroid. They were rare and horrifying.
The timing
of the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn would’ve occurred in 7 BCE, based on
data available. That’s too early for the birth. And the conjunction is too
insignificant.
The recent conjunction
was never frightening in bygone days. They knew when the planets would conjoin
with accurate precision.
The only
people frightened by the 2017 Revelation Sign during Rosh Hashanah or the
recent conjunction were end time’s date setters.
It’s best to
ignore date-setters.
Shalom!
