The Star is Jupiter and the Constellation was Aries and the Planets of Mercury Venus Mars and Saturn and the Moon were in the constellation of Aries the Ram associated with Israel and the Jews or pointing to it on either side. Jupiter is considered the King Star. It is a very rare event for this to occur having significance to astrologers or astronomers of the past. The HISTORY CHANNEL which usually is against any Christian Programming allowed Bill Briar of C.W. Post of Long Island University to conduct this Study of this theory about the Birth of JESUS Christ. Assisted with his understanding of How the BIBLE Narrative makes complete sense is Professor of Rutgers University an Astronomer who used a Star movement and time tracking system to move the sky back to that time period.
THIS PROGRAM HIGHLY USEFUL and CONFIRMS THE BIBLE PROPHESY OF JESUS BIRTH and confirmation from other people in another culture like Persia or Parthenon MAGI who believed and searched for JESUS place of Birth as Prophesied. That Program on HISTORY Channel was "THE 3 KINGS"
This Program confirms that JESUS was born near April 17th 5 or 6 BC as Dionysius who was called to Create a New Calendar for ROme much later than the Birth of JESUS used Romes history to misdate when JESUS was born and when the calendar should begin by at least 5 years due to a mistake of Augustus's date of Birth using 31BC instead of 27BC because Augustus used his given name Octavian for the first 4 years of his reign Plus Dionysius forgot the year zero.
The Persian or Parthenon MAGI seeing the Star Jupiter telling of a Great King to be born followed and probably found JESUS in Bethlehem by December 19th 6 BC making their Gifts of Myrhh Frankinscence and Gold as their Gifts to JESUS the King. Rome and Dionysius did not know that date by the time he was making the calendar so they used the MID WINTER Celebration of their Sun god Sola Victus as the date in December.
People how do you not get that Orientar was a JOKE!? Come on!
I like the theory based on astronomy that Jesus was born during the Feast of Trumpets. I would point out, that makes Jesus circumcision around the Day of Atonement and then maybe the Wisemen arrived at baby Jesus during the Feast of Tabernacles… It's like how the crucifiction was during Passover and the Holy Ghost descending on the apostles during Feast of Weeks.
The History Channel and Program "The 3 KINGS" by Professor Bill Blair of C.W. Post Long Island University and Professor Michael Molnar of Rutgers University Astronomy Dept. assisted to explaining all the questions you could ever ask about the Birth of JESUS and COnfirms the BIBLE in detail and Specific History backed by real evidence and Proof of astronomical movements in the past as to what and when it actually occurred.

Hey merry Christmas everyone
Even though I am very well versed in Scripture I am shocked about how much this man reveals that I missed!
Thank you for this informative lecture.!
I like your thorough analysis of this and, as always, pointing us back to scripture.
I would comment that it isn't "We Three Kings of Orientar" but "We Three Kings of Orient Are"- the Orient being the East from Europe/Middle East and it being a poetic, old English way to say we are three kings from the orient (even though they probably weren't kings).
There are two Northern stars in the NT, just as there are two Christs.
i hope youre kidding about orientare
Jeremiah Chapter 10 is about the decking of a Christmas tree with silver and gold. It was written down in 605 BC. The original Magi were taught by Daniel. The wise men kept the knowledge about the signs in the stars for 500 years until the birth of Christ.
I thought the words are “We three kings of Orient are” where the Orient is generally East Asia.
"We three kings of Orient ARE;
bearing gifts we traverse afar…" just sayin'.
Just a suggestion: if the title didn't include the word , Christians, but just said , the truth about the Christmas star or something like that, it would have nonbelievers curious to check it out… the word Christian may make them ignore this video
I agree with another commenter this may have be the group of angels guiding the magi, not a star at all. Then they went on to sing to the shepherds.
Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum of Ariel Ministries explained , and I quote from his essay, The Visit of the Magi, that this 'star' appears and disappears.
It moves from East to West, also from North to South. This star hovers over one single house in Bethlehem., pointing out the exact location of the Messiah. It is very evident that this cannot be a literal star, as we know that any such star hovering over a single house would destroy the whole planet.
The Greek word for 'star' simply means ' radiance' or ' brilliance'. With this star coming in the form of a light, we have the appearance of the Shekinah Glory.-the visible manifestation of God's presence.
Whenever God became visible in the Old Testament , such a manifestation was referred to as the Shekinah Glory.
This eexplanation makes more sense to me, especially as Dr Fruchtenbaum was Jewish.
This man uses the word "probably" about 10 times in the first 4 minutes.
Why is he wasting everyone's time with his private suppositions and conjectures?
So the "birth" isnt wasnt what you think it is. Theres god, gods,and God
The “Christmas” star is Venus. If you don’t know much about it it’s a great topic to research.
To the Israelites in the wilderness, God appeared as a column of smoke by day and a pillar of fire at night. That can't be explained in science either.
