A Child Is Born

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Micah 5:2

Prophecy!  God tells us that He wrote things in the Bible before they happened so that all would know that He is the Lord.  To make sure that we got the picture, the test for someone calling themselves a prophet was 100% accuracy.  100%.  No mistakes.  Because God would not make a mistake.

So, let's look at Micah.  Micah's prophecy was written down 700 years before the birth of Jesus.  700 years.  He even named the city.  A city so small that it didn't even warrant a commanding officer in the army of Israel.  It was here that God would send His son to come and fight for us.  Bethlehem.

It's Micah's prophecy that the wise men use to know where to find the new King.  It's in Micah's prophecy we see the promise of the Messiah.  Jesus.

Merry Christmas!
