How do we know the birth of Jesus was prophesied?

Answered in 1 source

The prophecies in the Old Testament, specifically referencing Micah 5:2, foretold the birthplace of Jesus over 700 years before His birth.

The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem and the specific circumstances of His arrival were foretold by prophets centuries before they occurred. For instance, Micah 5:2 states that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, a declaration made 700 years before the event. Such prophecies substantiate the inspiration and accuracy of Scripture, illustrating that God's plan was laid out long before the coming of Christ, emphasizing His control over history and fulfillment of promises.
