Podcasts about Star of Bethlehem

Title: A Better KingScripture Reading: Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11Series: A Better StoryIn this special Christmas Eve episode of A Better Story, guest Taylor Englund joins us to explore the cosmic magnitude of the Christmas story. Moving beyond the traditional narrative, we dive into the fascinating historical theory that Jesus was actually born on September 11, 3 B.C., aligning with the Jewish Feast of Trumpets. Tune in to discover the true identity of the Magi, the astronomical evidence behind the Star of Bethlehem found in Revelation 12, and how the heavens themselves heralded the arrival of the King of kings.

For over 2,000 years, the Star of Bethlehem has been described as a divine sign that guided the wise men and marked a moment that changed human history. But what if the story we've been told is only part of the truth? In this special Christmas Eve episode of Truth Be Told, Tony Sweet explores the mystery behind the Star of Bethlehem through the lenses of ancient texts, astronomy, and modern UFO research. Was it a miraculous sign from God, a rare cosmic alignment, or something far more advanced—perhaps an early encounter with non-human intelligence? We examine why the star behaves unlike any ordinary celestial object, why it appears only to astrologers watching the skies, and what this ancient mystery may reveal about humanity's long relationship with the unknown. This is not about belief—it's about curiosity, history, and the questions that still echo through time. ✨ A thoughtful, mysterious, and reflective episode perfect for Christmas Eve listening.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

A bright, icy, small Solar System body passes by Earth and is observed around the world every 76 years. Its tail is over 96 million miles long of dust and gas blown out from the coma surrounding its nucleus. British scientist Edmund Halley's calculations predicted the comet would return, and it did. Halley used Isaac Newton's law of gravity to calculate the orbits of the comets. He concluded that these comets were actually the same comet returning on a long elliptical orbit around the sun. The Comet has been observed throughout history, including near the time of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.

Tonight we have a Christmas-themed triple feature of public-domain movies as heard from the projection booth: The Star of Bethlehem (1950), Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1948), and Scrooge (1935).We'll also be running trailers from three really bad Christmas movies: Die Hard 2, Santa Conquers the Martians, and Santa Claus (1985). Plus one trailer for a really good Christmas movie, Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. Rounding things out will be favorite 1980s-ish Christmas commercials and other vintage theater messaging (and a random appliance warehouse ad bc I want it stuck in everyone else's head too).So — The Star of Bethlehem was the only work I was familiar with before beginning this week's episode. It's inclusion is a shout-out to my late father, for his insistence that we make it to the midnight service to hear this story told again and again and again. Miss you, Dad.Religiosity aside, it's an astonishingly beautiful work. I have a computer, and I couldn't dream of producing something this wonderful. If you gave me a time machine to the 1950s, my MacBook, and pitted me against the creative team of Lotte Reiniger and Carl Koch, I would lose every time.Reiniger created articulated paper figures from spare cardboard and other materials, and the team animated them on glass over painted backgrounds. (Preservationists studying her paper figures believe they can tell what she was eating during production, based on what material ended up in the dolls.) One of their rigs also looked like the best bunk bed ever — photo on wiki. Honestly, give me a time machine just so I can hang out with this crew, they seem cool.Rudolph (1948) feels lower-budget by comparison. This is not Rankin/Bass Rudolph, man. It's based on Robert L. May's 1939 story, not the song. And to steal an internet meme: this is Zack Snyder Rudolph. Hard times — you can feel them oozing out of that steely, cold color palette. Which makes sense: World War II had just ended when production began.Going further back in time brings us to our feature film Scrooge (1935). The acting is solid and includes an Ebenezer expert (Seymour Hicks) as the lead. Variety, literally said Hicks could play Ebenezer upside down in its December 11, 1935 issue. And that Hicks played Scrooge for more than a quarter century both onstage and in two films including a silent Scrooge in 1913.As for trailers:Die Hard 2 — which is just Die Hard with the melodrama turned all the way up and relocated to an airport. Also, I'm positive the airplane-eject scene for John McClane was later pilfered by the GoldenEye folks… and it's nowhere near as cool.Santa Conquers the Martians, which I briefly toyed with making the feature; is awful.And Santa Claus (1985)... Last year my family stumbled onto a smart tv Christmas-movie list, and I saw Santa '85 and said, “Hon, I have a movie that will blow your ****** mind. It's like Superman meets Kris Kringle and is still earnest. Everyone is acting out of their brains. It's like Shakespeare. Like if Frank Miller did Shakespeare doing Superman.”And then I hit play like I was firing a heat-seeking photon torpedo at General Chang.Three minutes later, we're watching Santa drown in snow. A few minutes after that: bizarre McDonald's product placement. A scene of people merrily eating Quarter Pounders while, through the window, an unhoused and hungry child stares lustfully at the food consumption. His face framed by the Golden Arches.The movie is bad. But awesome bad. See it for John Lithgow, as an evil toymaker who excels at selling extremely dangerous **** to children. And Dudley Moore is a charming mutinous elf that tries to outdo Santa by creating candy canes that make children float. Definitely see it.And happy holidays, y'all.PS: If you're looking for an uncommon ambience episode with a more modern Scrooge, check out last year's ⁠The Night the Reindeer Died⁠: Christmas Workshop Ambience.

Join us for our fourth Theology Night! Did you know that we know exactly what the night skies looked like 2,000 years ago? Did you know that we can put ourselves in the position of Eastern Magi and see what they saw the years leading up to Christ's birth? And what they saw was absolutely ASTONISHING! No wonder Matthew was inspired to write about it in detail and describe why an entire caravan of magi traveled hundreds of miles to come and worship the little baby! Join us as we look back to this historical event in the heavens! This was no fable!

As we begin the season of Advent, we try to better understand this familiar story by exploring what some of the images of Advent meant in the Old Testament, to see the Advent story through Old Testament eyes, beginning with the Bethlehem Star. Read Psalm 19 and thanks for listening!

The three wise men, the three kings, the three magi – whichever appellation they are known by – remain a fixture of Christmastime. Yet they are mentioned only once in the Bible, in twelve verses in Matthew, mysteriously appearing to venerate the Christ child before vanishing like the star they followed.Support the showwww.rockymountainmason.comwww.esotericmason.comSupport the show: https://patreon.com/rockymountainmason?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

The text explores the Star of Bethlehem narrative in Matthew's Gospel through an Aramaic linguistic and cultural lens. Aramaic word choices, like kawkav (star), highlight the story's divine and Messianic significance, connecting it to existing Jewish prophecies and Near Eastern astrological traditions. The magi's interpretation of the star reflects a cross-cultural understanding facilitated by Aramaic, a common language. Finally, the text analyzes the star's symbolic representation of divine light and guidance, tying it to broader Semitic and Jewish imagery. for more in depth teachings check our website: www.twinstours.com

The Star of Bethlehem (Tim Henderson+; 12/15/2024) by Church of the Holy Spirit - Roanoke

Dr. Ray Bohlin looks at the familiar story of the star of Bethlehem and provides several possible ways that God created this sign announcing the birth of the Christ. From a Christian worldview perspective, we know a bright light in the sky was able to lead the magi to the Christ child. Dr. Bohlin considers several ways God may have chosen to announce the coming of the Christ.

Here the wise men traveled far from the east, because they saw the star of a king that had been born in the Holy Land. Well, it just so happens that that the original prophecy for the Star of Bethlehem is in our passage, the Book of Numbers. Okay. There's two names that I want to bring to your attention, because they're the main characters of the story. We're just about to read the one, main character's name. He is a prophet, as you see here in your notes. The enigma of a prophet named Balam. Everybody say Balam. Balam is a prophet from ancient Mesopotamia. The place between the two rivers, the ancient part of the world. And he plays a major role at this time. In fact, as we shall see.

King Herod, feeling threatened, deceitfully asks them to find the child and report back. The wise men find Jesus in Bethlehem, offer gifts, and worship Him. Warned by God about Herod's evil plan, they return home by a different route. Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus flee to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath, who then orders a tragic massacre.

Was the Star of Bethlehem just a made-up story or was it a real historical event? If it was, what could have caused it? A divine miracle? What do you think? Drew Mariani begins by debunking the idea that the star was a mere literary device, affirming the Gospels as historical accounts of real events, including this celestial marvel. He rejects the notion that it was concocted for storytelling or theological illustration.

When you put the star up on your Christmas tree, can you be sure that it signifies a real historical event? Was the Star of Bethlehem truly what led the Magi to the Baby Jesus? Cale dives into an article by the esteemed Professor Donald DeMarco, who ponders the relationship between ethics (the moral law within) and the starry skies (the universe without), ultimately pointing to the grandeur and mystery of God. Dr. DeMarco looks at the views of various astronomers across history. Friedrich Wieseler noted a bright star in 4 BC in Chinese records, while Johannes Kepler postulated a celestial event around 7-6 BC involving a conjunction of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars, which could have appeared as a bright star. Additionally, Konradin Ferrary d'Occhieppo  suggested a similar alignment in the constellation of Pisces, indicating the star's potential as a historical, astronomical event. Cale then shifts to the theological and scriptural interpretations, emphasizing that the star is not just a historical phenomenon but also a profound theological mystery, deeply rooted in the Christian tradition. This duality of history and mystery around the Star of Bethlehem is a testament to the depth and richness of the Christian faith, celebrating the joy and wonder of the Advent and Christmas seasons. So, is the Star of Bethlehem a slice of history or a segment of mystery? Cale concludes that it is indeed both, a real astronomical event richly woven into the fabric of faith, offering another reason to rejoice in the magic and marvel of Christmas!
