From a Historical Point

It is nothing short of amazing how the birth of Jesus, as foretold by the prophets of old, was actually written in the sky. Astronomers can go back in time and track the planet alignment which created the light over the birthplace of Christ, known as the star of Bethlehem. (We now know the date). The same series of events watched by wise men from afar, which would set forth a journey from the east, that took several years. It foretold of the "importance" causing them to come "bearing gifts." The greatest gift the wise men, gave of course, was that they worshipped Him, (Matthew 2:2) saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." Herod, in fear of losing his kingdom to the foretold coming King, demanded the slaughtering of innocents. These are historical "proofs" of the existence of Jesus and His birth as recorded by historians of that time.

Years later, there would be groaning in the sky and on the earth. The curtain in the temple would be rent in two. The moon would turn to blood, as there was an eclipse, and people would rise from the dead, (later to be seen in the city), as rocks were moved, caused by an earthquake. The earth was in travail, at the death of Virgin Mary's Son, Jesus. As we're told, the date was April 3, 33 A.D. (If the gospel message is not enough for you, the evidence of the eclipse is historical data).

As a sidenote here, How many accounts do you know of where a dead, and bound body of four days, stinking, was raised to life by a command from a distance? I'm referring to the raising of Lazarus, a friend of Jesus, which happened before the death and resurrection of our Lord.

There are some people who look upon the scriptures as just stories, altered versions of eyewitness accounts of martyred followers of Christ. They are the doubting Thomas' of the day. I challenge further thought. Putting it altogether, the elements obeyed Him, responded to His death, and the greatest sign of all was, it was written in the sky. An untouchable, unchangeable, road map for all generations to see, (the birth time and death of our Lord, God and Savior). The Christ, the only begotten Son of God, Jesus. Signs of confirmation have been left everywhere.

If you cannot see, its for two reasons: 1). You chose not to see. 2). Once you do see, it will require you to change your ways. Become responsible, accept or deny Your creator. The one who loves You.

He is to be found everywhere, look up, look within. Seek and you will find and the door will be opened unto you. And you will learn the message of the Angels, "Christ is Born, Glorify Him."

(Isaiah 35:4) Be comforted, you fainthearted, Be strong, do not fear. Behold, our God renders judgment and will render it. He will come and save us.

Findings of Liviu Mircea and Tiberiu Oproiu of the Astronomic Obserivatory Institute of Cluj, Romania, confirm dates of Crucifixion and Resurrection. Since the birth of Jesus is also historically verified, what more evidence will be required to satisfy you that the historical Jesus is the Son of God, made flesh?
