What was the Star of Bethlehem?

http://www.bethlehemstar.net/
We know when Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, "GOD with Us," came to Earth to be with us for 30 - 33 years or so. We know the date. We know the timing. It was recorded in the night sky for all eternity.
With Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion and Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation we know precisely when "The Royal Conjunction of Jupiter, Venus, and Regulus" occurred using software such as "Starry Night" on a computer laptop.
Merry Christmas everyone.

LEB,
Lol.
You're probably right. That is what women probably would have brought. But then prophecy wouldn't have been fulfilled would it?
(And listening to a woman is what got us into this mess in the first place. I mean what could have been better? Adam and Eve got to run around naked all the time. Got all the sex they wanted. Free food and a wonderful paradise to live in. Why did she have to go and ruin it? Oh yea, because she wanted to be as wise as a GOD. Doh. Man we had it good. She blew it and dragged Adam down with her. What's the moral of the story people? What's the moral of the story . . . ? I think we all know without me having to spell it out. Lol.)
Regarding the gift's to baby Jesus:
The gold represents Jesus's kingship.
The frankincense represents Jesus's priestly aspect.
The myrrh is a foreshadowing of Jesus's death since they anointed bodies with it for burial, and it foreshadows the fact that he is the Lamb of GOD who would save mankind and reconcile man back to GOD.

Perhaps.

But then the grass isn't always greener on the other side either . . .
Look at all it got us: dreadful work, hunger, suffering, wars, corruption, greed, and death just to name a few of the many wonderful benefits (sarcasm).
