Micah 5:2-5

Jesus came and will come again with shouts of peace, peace to the people on earth who have accepted God’s gift of salvation! 

Spread the word Jesus is coming..

The interplay of texts of wrath and mercy in the Book of Micah mirrors the character of God, for even in His wrath He remembers mercy. Although the Lord was determined to maintain His holiness, He was equally intent on fulfilling His loving promises to Abraham. The Lord would balance His judgment with mercy.

Jesus is the mercy of God manifested to man. He is the dividing line… we either accept Him or deny Him we cannot do both.

Governments would be overturned to make it necessary for Mary while still pregnant to make the journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. 

The birth of this Savior King would be unlike the birth of any other, because He   was preexistent. He  is from everlasting.

Micah 5:2-5

² “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,

Yet out of you shall come forth to Me

The One to be Ruler in Israel,

Whose goings forth are from of old,

From everlasting.”

³ Therefore He shall give them up,

Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth;

Then the remnant of His brethren

Shall return to the children of Israel.

⁴ And He shall stand and feed His flock

In the strength of the Lord,

In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;

And they shall abide,

For now He shall be great

To the ends of the earth;

⁵ And this One shall be peace.

⁶‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ” 

Matthew 2:6

¹¹ For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

¹⁴“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
