Though the Messiah revealed Himself 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, most people missed, ignored, or refused to accept the amazing, fulfilled fact that Jesus was born only five miles down the road in Bethlehem of Judea—just as the prophet Micah precisely promised He would 700 years earlier. This testifies to both the Bible’s supernatural inspiration as well as the divine nature of Jesus Christ.
