Maybe it was a supernatural occurrence. It is said the
star moved before the Magi and stood over Bethlehem. Normal stars…or any other normal celestial object…don’t typically move in the sky and then stand above (and mark) a particular location, which allowed the Magi to find the newborn Jesus and present Him with gifts. Doesn’t sound like a normal phenomenon, but more like a supernatural sign.
To find the prophecy concerning the star the wise men followed, one must connect the following scriptures--Genesis 49.10 (scepter will not depart Judah), Numbers 24.17 (star of Jacob), Isaiah 7.14 ( a sign of Immanuel) Isaiah 9.1-2 (a great light), Micah 5.2 ( a ruler in Beth-lehem Ephratah), Daniel 9.25 (coming of Messiah), and Psalm 72.10 (kings bring gifts to the son).
