Mark Hitchcock: Following the Star — A Biblical Investigation

In this special Christmas episode, I explore one of the most fascinating mysteries of the Bible—the Star of Bethlehem. Drawing from Matthew’s account, I look at who the Magi really were, their remarkable 800-mile journey, and the various theories about the celestial phenomenon that guided them to Jesus. I examine historical, astronomical, and biblical evidence to understand this divine sign, explaining why I believe it was no ordinary star. It was a supernatural manifestation of God’s glory! In this episode, I will also address important questions about the Temple rebuilding, the Gog-Magog war, and practical concerns about communion.
