Cases from the Files of a Bible Detective: Case of the Threatening Star

Dr. Fred Baltz will be leading Cases from the Files of a Bible Detective on Wednesday, December 7, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Sinsinawa Mound. Cuneiform tablets with Mesopotamian sky omens nearly three thousand years old tell us how ancient astrologers interpreted heavenly signs for their kings. Two particular omens involving the planter Jupiter spelled violent death for the king unless steps were taken to make peace with the enemy, the West. Were the Magi in Matthew’s Gospel ambassadors sent to secure peace with the West? The Bible Detective applies astronomy, showing that these two Jupiter omens actually occurred near the time of Jesus’ birth.  Registration end on Friday, December 2 and the fee is $20 per person. All visitors to Sinsinawa Mound are to check in with the receptionist and wear a face mask.
