Read Matt the 2nd chapter. The star appeared and moved, the "wise men" followed it. First it led them to an evil king named Herod. He questioned them to assertain why they were there. The star waited. Herod slyly told them to go on and find the child (Jesus), that he also wanted to worship him, to return with his whereabouts. The star moved and led them to the home (not a stable like the xmas nativity scenes depict) where Jesus as a young child was living. They gave their gifts and slept. During sleep an Angel warns them to not return to the king, he wants to kill Jesus. They go home a different route. The angel also tells Joseph to take his family and escape to Egypt, he does. Herod knows his plot has been disrupted and in a rage sends his soldiers out to kill all baby boys in the district under the age of 2 (fulfillment of prophecy). God had to intervene to save his son. So..who put that star in the sky? Satan is referred to as an angel of light...(2 Cor 11:14)
What do you think?
