<TITLE>20. Par -</TITLE>L-28-3 They've got an old astronomy calendar, markings there that they dug up. And it's exactly that time that this constel came in and the constellation of these stars, and throwed right down towards Babylon, and the wise men brought it down. You remember, they crossed their orbits, low swung, billions of light years apart again. And those Jewish wise men that was up at Babylon, they seen that constel come into that constellation, them stars, three of them moving together and making that one Morning Star. And they knowed that by the Word of God, that that was the time, when them stars come together, that the Messiah was to be on earth.
That's the reason they started, "Where is He, born King of the Jews? Where is He? Somewhere, for when those stars come into--their celestial bodies become into this one great celestial body here, when them three's moves together, Messiah will be on earth in that time. And when they moved into their orbits, them men knowed that the Messiah was on earth.

L-29-1 They were masters in their field. They were great men. They were masters in their field of religious science. They was watching the religious side of it, and they seen those stars move out yonder: Jupiter and Sardis, and them move into their--their line. And they said, "We know that Messiah's somewhere; so He must be in Jerusalem, because that's the head-place for the religions of the world--of the religion of the Messiah. That's their headquarters. That's the denominational headquarters. That's where the great ecclesiastical group sets."
And on camels they went, two years, down across the Tigris River, and through the swamps and jungles, journeying, going to the city, hearts filled with joy. They knowed when that stars was hanging in there... And the--even the astronomers say today, if they actually--them stars come into that place again, it would make one star from where they was standing looking. But they had to be standing from that place to see it. Amen. Amen. It depends on where you're standing. It depends on what you're looking at. Yeah.

L-29-3 So they seen it, and they followed it, and they was right in line. No matter where they got, it was right in line with them. It led them. See? That's where you got to get all the Scriptures lined up, everything, then stay in that line with the Scriptures. That's the only way. It'll lead you right straight to Him, certainly will.
Now, notice. Here they come, crying, "Where is He born King of the Jews?" Into Jerusalem, the Star led them right there, right straight to the denominational headquarters. But when they turned aside for it, the Star left them. Into the city they went, up and down the street. They thought the city would be full of joy of God. Up and down the street with joy they went screaming, "Where is He that's born King of the Jews? We saw His star when we was in the east, and we've come to worship Him."
Remember, the star... They went westward; they were in the east. "Westward leading, still proceeding. Lead us to..." See, it were... Absolutely, they were... Well, Babylon and India lays east of Palestine, kind of southeast, and they were going westward. "Westward leading," you know that song, "still proceeding; Guide us to that perfect Light." See?
