A. Micah 5:2 is one of the clearest and most important of all Old Testament prophecies: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among 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.”
1. This prophecy about the birthplace and eternity of the Messiah was made seven hundred years before His birth.
2. The chief priests and scribes paraphrased this verse in Matthew 2:5-6 when questioned about the birthplace of the Messiah.
B. Micah 2:12-13; 4:1-8; and 5:4-5 offer some of the best Old Testament descriptions of the righteous reign of Christ over the whole world.
