But that does not answer what those lights were.  Do you know?  You have many questions,  but no answers either.  I assume this chained of lights, not one light but several in a row like the picture shows.  I assume I saw them because they were reflecting the light of the sun.  Have you ever seen this?  It is creepy when you do, what could they be and who is controlling them?
No idea what that row of lights are, but when we see a shooting star, that's an angel running an errand for God - that's what we were told as kids and has been satisfactory for me ever since lol.

Works for me. :laugh1:

Seriously, though, I do believe that the "Star of Bethlehem" was not some natural phenomenon as various rationalists try to make it out to be.  We read that the Wise Men could use the star to locate precisely the place where Our Lord had been born, the very manger.  There's no way a normal "star" could be used to pinpoint a location that exactly.  I believe they were following some angelic vision.  Recall that the term "star" did not have the connotations back then of "a huge sun millions of miles away", but was merely a term for a "lesser light" (vs. the sun or the moon).

I know what the solar system model is for heliocentric and geocentric.  I cannot visualize what the solar system model is for a flat earth.
The simplest way to understand FE is that the solar system still exists, but it's much, much closer to us, because it's within the firmament.  Instead of a star being "millions of light years away", it's probably only 500-1000 miles away.  Far enough that the naked eye cannot see them in daylight; but close enough that their lights can be seen at night.  The sun is not bigger than earth; but much, much smaller and inside our atmosphere.  The sun moves above the earth, from east to west, on a daily basis.  Because it's smaller, it does not give light in all directions, but is more focused, like a spotlight.  Thus when it's spotlight turns, and as it physically moves away from us, it has the appearance of "setting".

And when it gets all the way west, how does it get back east again?

It might go underneath the earth (which Scripture tells us, is standing on 4 pillars).  Or, the book of Enoch describes portals/doors in the "heavens" (i.e. high above, near the firmament) which angels open and close to control the weather and other things.  I'm not sure.
