Dr Jim Rankin (Adventures in Truth Ministries) explores the biblical, historical, and astronomical claims surrounding the Christmas story, the Star of Bethlehem, and the identity of the king believed to have brought frankincense to Jesus. Drawing on Matthew, Luke, Isaiah, Psalms, ancient records, celestial events, and research in Ethiopia, this presentation traces a proposed timeline from 3–2 BC to the Wise Men’s arrival in Bethlehem.
