 The Stars of Bethlehem an Enigma Wrapped within a Mystery by Kenneth Beckmann in Amazon's Kindle Unlimited library represents the accumulation of nearly four decades of study, research and reflection on the Star(s) of Bethlehem. An unknown first century Jewish-Christian storyteller included three ancient observations in an infancy account about the Jewish Christian Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. The author also wrote about Magi or Magicians who oversaw an ancient astronomical observatory constructed on a dormant volcano in Anatolia, a Greek word which meant “the East.” The Magi studied the “observances” that is, the Sun, Moon and unaided eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) as they traversed the Ecliptic through the twelve Zodiacal signs or constellations. The purpose of the story was to address the question of the Jewish-Christian Messiah’s birthplace. While Jesus of Nazareth was known as a Nazarene (Matthew 2:23), Old Testament Jewish prophecy promised the birth of a blood and flesh Jewish Messiah at Bethlehem in the hill country of Judah (Matthew 2:4-6). To bring greater credibility, the author embedded three ancient observations to describe the Star of Bethlehem. The author mentioned a Star(s) (Matthew 2:2) which the Magi would have been familiar with and later, a Star which the Magi would have otherwise had no interest (Matthew 2:7, 9-10, 16). The story was crafted in such a way to be read as a puzzle to be solved. While the story spoke of one Star of Bethlehem yet the devil was in the details. "The devil in the details" is an expression, an idiom which describes enigmatic elements hidden in details. It expresses "something that seems simple, yet the details are complicated and are difficult to reconcile!” The only way to correctly and fully understand the story is to expose the devil in the details which described multiple Stars of Bethlehem. This story served as a defense against those who believed Jesus of Nazareth was born at Nazareth. It was also an attack on the Magi who failed in their observances to locate the Jewish Messiah at Jerusalem. The Magi depended on a fourteen hundred year old prophecy and a Star, Numbers 24:17 (a star shall arise out of Jacob and a scepter out of Israel) as a road map to Jerusalem. What ever happened to the Old Testament prophecy? Not until the conclusion of the book will the author expose the final puzzle piece that will surprise and astonish the reader!
