 The Wise Men & the Witness of the Stars -
The lesson on 12-23-2001 teaches about the testimony of the Wise Men as read in Matthew 2:1
-12. These individuals are a traditional part of most Nativity scenes but
according to the scriptures, visit Jesus and his mother when he was 2 years old in a
house. Tradition has changed the Word of God to put them at the manger. These
Wise Men knew of Christ’s birth because of God’s
handywork in the heavens by declaring it in the stars.
This was not new. From the beginning in Genesis,
God declared the story of salvation in the stars.
Adam was the first astronomer who was able to read
the message in the stars. Adam then passed it on to
Seth, who passed it on to Enoch, then so on and so
on... Every generation knew of God’s plan through
the stars and this is why the Wise Men from Persia
knew it was the time that a King was born to Israel.
The lesson on 12-23-2001 takes you through the
scriptures to learn the facts about the Wise Men and how the witness in
the Stars was one of the first ways God testified of Christ prior to the
written word.   Click here to listen now
