who supplied the star guiding the astrogers to Jerusalem which led to the threat on baby Jesus life?Matthew chapt 2?

Some people believe that God sent the so-called star of Bethlehem to guide the astrologers to Jesus. Consider why that cannot be the case.

What appeared to be a star led the astrologers first to Jerusalem. The Bible says: “Astrologers from the East came to Jerusalem, saying: ‘Where is the one born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when we were in the East, and we have come to do obeisance to him.’”—Matthew 2:1, 2.

King Herod, not the “star,” was the first to direct the astrologers to Bethlehem. When he heard of a rival “king of the Jews,” Herod investigated where the promised Christ was to be born. (Matthew 2:3-6) On learning that it was to be in Bethlehem, he told the astrologers to go there, look for the child, and report back to him.

Only then did the astrologers go to Bethlehem. The Bible says: “After they had heard the king, they went their way, and look! the star they had seen when they were in the East went ahead of them until it came to a stop above where the young child was.”—Matthew 2:9.

The appearance of the “star” set in motion events that threatened the life of Jesus and resulted in the murder of innocent children. When the astrologers left Bethlehem, God warned them not to return to Herod.—Matthew 2:12.

How did Herod react? The Bible says: “Herod, seeing that he had been outwitted by the astrologers, flew into a great rage, and he sent out and had all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its districts killed, from two years of age and under, according to the time that he had carefully ascertained from the astrologers.” (Matthew 2:16) God would not have caused such a wicked thing to be done.—Job 34:10.

interestingly the star didnt lead them to the manger but Herod ordered them to go to Bethlehem where they found the mother with a two year old in a house

Just as the Pharoah saw in the stars in 1535 VC that a deliver would be born in Goshen the Magi saw that Jesus would be born in 6 BC in Israel

The Bible does NOT answer that question.

The doctrine that it was Satan is EXTREMELY weakly supported by the Bible and by reason

as is the classic doctrine that it was God.

I would argue

based on the Bible

that there is even less reason to believe it was Satan

than there is to believe it was God

(because the Bible does not teach us that Satan can make stars appear, for example, or that Satan can direct the movement of stars, but God can).

Only the Lord can do such a thing. The notion that it was Satan is preposterous. Read the context. The wise men came to worship the Lord. 

The astrologers were obviously not servants or worshipers of the true God. 

It is also notable that only these pagan astrologers saw the star. Their condemned practice of astrology and the adverse results of their visit, placing in danger the life of the future Messiah.

 It certainly allow for, and even make advisable, the consideration of their having been directed by a source adverse to God’s purposes as relating to the promised Messiah.

 It is certainly reasonable to ask if the one who keeps transforming himself into an angel of light who was able to make a serpent appear to speak, and who was referred to by Jesus as a manslayer when he began. 

Could he not also cause astrologers to see a starlike object that guided them first, not to Bethlehem, but to Jerusalem, where resided a mortal enemy of the promised Messiah.

So, who supplied the star?  Satan of course.

Obviously, Satan supplied that star, which led the astrologers to king Herod who actually wanted to kill baby Jesus.
