Venus as The Star of Bethlehem

I am strongly convinced that the terminology of "We have seen (Observed) His Star" implies a Star that was always there and always considered His.  And that logically as one that moves around it would be a planet.

When The Bible associates Jesus with a star, it associates Him with the Morning Stat in 2 Peter 1:19 and Revelation 22:16.  Which is Venus called Heosphorus/Eophorus(Dawn Bringer), Hesperus and Phosphorus (Light Bringer) by the Greeks and Lucifer by the Romans.

The use of the name "Lucifer" in Isaiah 14:12 is not justified by the Hebrew Text, Isaiah is not in my view describing an astronomical object at all.  The flawed Septuagint began the association of this verse with Venus but even it used Heosphorus not Phosphorus.  I have come to favor the Peshita reading of Isaiah 14:12 as the accurate representation of what Isaiah meant where what we're used to reading as "Lucifer son of the Morning" is instead "Howl at The Morning".

Lucifer is the direct Latin equivalent to the Greek word used in 2 Peter 1:19.  During the 4th Century there were Christians named Lucifer, no one thought of it as a reference to Satan yet.  This is why Latin Hymns will call Jesus Lucifer and then English Speaking KJV Only Protestants point to them as proof as some that the Vatican secretly worships Satan.

I believe Jesus rose from the Dead at Sunrise on Sunday Morning.   The day I have argued in the past that happened, April 9th 30 AD, was a day that Venus was visible in Israel in the morning as a Morning Star.

And my current 12 BC Nativity model has Venus visible in Israel as an Evening Star through when Hanukkah probably happened in December of 12 BC.

Also every year Venus is at it's brightest in Late November and early December, so about a month before Christmastide.
