What does the Bible say about the significance of Bethlehem?

Answered in 1 source

Bethlehem is significant as the birthplace of Jesus, fulfilling prophecies about the Messiah's arrival.

Bethlehem, described as the 'house of bread,' is significant in Scripture as the birthplace of the Lord Jesus Christ, fulfilling the prophecy given by Micah 700 years prior. Micah 5 states that despite Bethlehem's small size, out of it would come a ruler for Israel, whose origins were from everlasting. This prophecy led Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, aligning God's sovereign plan with the historical reality of Christ's birth.
