THE STAR OF BETHLEHAM

Years ago I spent a great deal of time focused upon WHEN would Messiah have actually been born. I read MANY books; and, it is what led me to study the Hebrew calendar as well. I hope that the videos; and, other resources assist you in understanding the Timing of Messiahs' birth according to the data contained within the text of the Bible. 

Among the books I read that were the MOST fruitful was the book:

"The Star that Astonished the World" written by Ernest L. Martin. You can access a free version of his book at the following website that also holds his other works.

Another book that I read was one that influenced Ernest L. Martin. A book written by an astronomer here in Los Angeles who worked at the Griffith Mueseum which I visited while I was taking Astronomy in college.
