How do we know that Jesus' birth in Bethlehem was part of God's plan?

Answered in 1 source

The precise prophecy of Micah foretold Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, underscoring God's sovereign plan for salvation.

The prophecy found in Micah 5:2 serves as a clear indicator of God's sovereign plan for the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. This prophecy was made centuries before Christ's incarnation, demonstrating God's control over history and events. The town of Bethlehem was specifically mentioned to establish the lineage of Jesus as the ruler of Israel, fulfilling God's covenant promises to His people. Moreover, the mention of Bethlehem Ephrathah emphasizes God's attention to detail in fulfilling His plan, as the choice of such a humble town highlights His grace and the reversal of worldly expectations. Therefore, the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem was not happenstance, but rather a deliberate act of God's preordained will.
