Bible Text:
Prophecy:
Micah 5:2 KJV B.C. 750-686
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.
Fulfillment:
Luke 2:4-7 KJV B.C. 5
4 And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of
David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and
lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused
wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in
a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
The Word:
Matthew
2:1,5,6,16 KJV
1 Now when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came
wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
5 And they said unto him, In
Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of
Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee
shall come a Governor, that shall Rule My people Israel.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he
was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and
slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts
thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he
had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Luke 2:1-4,15
KJV
1 And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world
should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every
one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of
David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and
lineage of David:)
15 And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one
to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which is come to pass, which The Lord hath made known unto us.
Luke 2:11 NLT
The Savior—yes, The Messiah, The
Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!
John 7:42 KJV
Hath not The Scripture said, That
Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem,
where David was?
Prayer:
Isaiah 9:6,7 KJV
6 For unto us a Child is born, unto
us A son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and
His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The
Everlasting Father, The Prince Of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government
and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and
upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with
judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of
The Lord Of Hosts will perform this.
