Jesus' birth was not only

foretold many years before;

so was the place he was to

be born...Bethlehem.

"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though

thou be little among the thousands of

Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth

unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;

whose goings forth have been from of old,

from everlasting." Micah 5:2

Circucumstances sent Mary and Joseph

from their home in Nazareth to the little

town of Bethlehem where he was then

born to fulfill this prophecy.
