The History of Saturn and Jupiter in the Sky

There was some knowledge about that everything that Saturn does has something to do, has a meaning tied to Judaism. If you link that to another planet Jupiter, which was the highest planet for the Romans, Zeus and Jupiter, the same basically, and that represented Roman imperial power. And there are a couple of these meetings of Saturn and Jupiter in that period between 20 BC and 200 CE. We have some evidence that people actually looked at that and was himself an astrologer. So it is quite, I don't think it's much speculation to interpret this episode in the New Testament as political propaganda from the side of the Jews.
