Why did the star over Bethlehem look exactly like the Star of David?

Coincidence? Purposed by God (Divine destiny)? Other?

Why did the star over Bethlehem look exactly like the Star of David?
Because in the flesh Jesus is a direct descendant of King


David and through the first born line.

Thank you questioner. I am now going to give you an "Interesting" tic.
Reply:Were you a witness? Sorry dude, you don't know that for sure.
Reply:The star of Bethlehem was never said to look like the star of David, but if it did, then maybe it was described as such because Jesus and his family were Jewish and he was the "King of the Jews"
Reply:Uhhh.. no one knows that or has asserted that... why are you?
Reply:It didn't, it was just a really bright star. It was called the Star of David, but that is only because it signified the descendant of David was born king of the Jews.
Reply:Please give the Biblical reference you base this on.
Reply:Why would you think that? Stars in the Bible are not always big burning balls of gases. Often they are angels. This verse refers to the angels singing at creation.





Job 38:7  When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?





And this verse also shows that stars can be angels.





Revelation 1:20  The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches:





And look at this verse about the star of Bethlehem.





Matthew 2:9  When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, WENT BEFORE THEM, TILL IT CAME AND STOOD stood over where the young child was.





This is not a moving ball of fire - it is an angel, guiding those wise men to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Reply:Who said it did? The only time you see that is in a few paintings. There were no drawings or paintings done while it was in the sky.
Reply:Divine destiny. Bethlehem is the city of David, where he was born and raised as a shepheard, and David was an ancestor of Our Lord.





Oh, and Jesus was a Jew.
Reply:It didn't.
Reply:You realize it's technically impossible, right?





For all matters concerned it's just a point of light. The best it could have is a six-point symmetry.
Reply:And your source for this is.....?
Reply:I didnt know the Bible came with illustrations.


The only image of the star over Bethlehem show it more as a twinkling plus sign or something.


And the Star of David is far from that...its more like two triangles attached together..

Reply:I'm sure the star that the maggi or wisemen saw and followed to Bethehem was not formed by two blue triangles one over the other.
