Given we are drawing near to Christmas ,it might be to a lot of peoples profit not to squabble over the date of the Lords birth but rather read carefully and prayerfully what actually happened .
For one thing the unknown number of wise men were not there at His birth nor present at " the manger "
For they " came to the HOUSE where the CHILD was "
When Herod diligently sought of them when they first saw the star on that information he ordered the death of everyone two years old and younger . It took those unknown number of wise men up to two years traveling from the east to get to Jerusalem.
It is also reasonable to assume they did not follow the star from whence they first saw it to Jerusalem ,nor indeed needed to . For the Silk Road was well known as also the capital of the Jews ,Jerusalem . Where else do you find the King?
The star would not have led them to Jerusalem . Their own thinking did that .
Yet when told they would , by the scriptures find Him in Bethlehem then they saw the star " and were exceedingly glad".
Which led them to the house where the child was .
The truth is far more interesting than any man made scenario.
