“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
Micah 5:2 prophesies the birthplace of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Although Bethlehem was a small, humble town, it was chosen by God as the place where the Saviour would be born. This verse underscores the eternal nature of Jesus, stating that His origins are ‘from of old, from ancient times,’ pointing to His divine nature and pre-existence before His birth. This prophecy highlights God’s sovereign plan in bringing the Saviour into the world through a lowly and unexpected setting, revealing His humility and love for humanity.
