"But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity." Micah 5:2
The Promised Deliverer will be born in Bethlehem, Micah prophesies more than 600 years before the event. The One who will be the Bread of Life comes from the “House of Bread,” the meaning of “Bethlehem.” Ancient peoples marked Bethlehem as being in a fertile region, rich in grain. The Old Testament is a “trail of crumbs” leading to the Bread of Life. God gives clear clues so that people can recognize the true Messiah when He comes—even down to the place where He will be born. The Father doesn’t want us to miss His Son, the Promised One.
