What does the Bible say about the prophecy of the coming of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Micah 5:2 prophesies the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, emphasizing His eternal nature and role as ruler in Israel.

Micah 5:2 speaks directly of the humble birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem Ephratah, declaring, 'Out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel.' This prophecy highlights not only the significance of Bethlehem, deemed little among the thousands of Judah, but also points to the divine sovereignty of God in choosing the least significant place for the birth of the King. The text affirms that Jesus is eternal, as His 'goings forth have been of old, from everlasting,' illustrating His divine nature alongside His human incarnation. This fulfillment is a central tenet of Christian belief, connecting the Old Testament promise with the New Testament reality.
