Micah 5:2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
This is just one of the prophesies of Jesus being born in Bethlehem; one which also highlights the plight of the people of Judea.
No matter what would happen to the people of Judea, God would make sure the linage would be kept and the right people would be in the right place at the right time for Jesus to be born!
If God can do these sort of things, we know He can do so much more in our lives than we expect!
