Prophets prophesized about the coming of a great star. Even though the Biblical Balaam also prophesized about this star, he died and never saw it come into orbit. Many ancient scientists predicted the coming of new stars and never saw them come into orbit. I feel so fortunate to learn about this wonder. I could have lived my whole life sitting in the Black Church every December watching the Christmas play and the ‘fake’ five-point star poised over a manger scene and never know the truth. I am so glad that I stopped believing that the white churches would tell me the truth and decided to search the scriptures and words for myself. I am so glad that I decided to look outside of the spiritual bands that captivity has put my mind into. I am so glad that I decided to seek other scholars not confound to the approved educational curriculum of this country to learn of their perspectives on the past.
