What guided the three wise men to Jesus?

Answer 1

It was not the The North Star.

The Three wise men are from a place east if Jerusalem. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, 2 wise men arrived, and then Jesus traveled north to Nazareth. The Star (Also know as the Star of Bethlehem) that the 3 wise men followed apparently was moving and was only visible to some people and for a short time. This star was probably Sirius Star or some unrecorded supernova or possibly even a comet.

Answer 2

In the first place, The Bible doesn't tell us the number of wise men. The Bible says they followed a star. This could have been a comet or other type of celestial body, since the Bible isn't very specific about EXACTLY what it was.

Answer 3

The word for them is "Magoi", the Magi (as we call them, and there were probably many more then just three) had in centuries past been placed uder the leadership of Daniel and being aware of his teachings knew the end pf the 69 weeks of years (Daniel 9) was upon them (thus King Messiah was about to be born) plus they were from the same area as Balaam (who we have Archaeologically demonstrated) who gave the prophecy about the Star signalling the birth of this true King who was God manifest...the work it describes happened over time but they were more interested in seeing Him

Answer 4

According to the bible, it was a star.

Answer 5

Star of bethlehem
