“But thou, Beth–lehem 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 KJV
Seven hundred years before the Messiah’s birth, Micah the prophet had prophesied that it would happen in Bethlehem, the native city of king David and of the tribe of Judah. God specialises in taking the little, the unknown, the weak and the meek, to show His might, power and glory! Bethlehem was a little town but it became known worldwide as the birthplace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even wise men from afar landed up there for Jesus’s Incarnation to this unknown place! The shepherds, a weak and meek people under Roman rule, saw the angels giving them the news of Jesus’s birth which no sound and light show of today’s technology can compare! But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. So everyone knows that this is God. Let’s give all glory to Yahweh!
