Pagan Prophesy Watchers: Sources to Go Further christopherchelpka.com
@christopherchelpka St John Chrystostom said (paraphrasing) "Everyone knows stars don't act that way; obviously the star was an angel."
@JohnBrady That's reasonable. The Bible does create close identifications between stars and angels in a few places, like Job 38:7; Daniel 7:10; Revelation 1:10, and Revelation 12:4. I am doubtful though because the star in Matthew is not a symbol in a vision.
