BORN IN BETHLEHEM
Micah 5:2 (TLB)
“O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
you are but a small Judean village,
yet you will be the birthplace of my King
who is alive from everlasting ages past!”
People may have thought the King of all Israel
Would be born in the capitol, Jerusalem.
But the prophet Micah had predicted
He’d be born in the village of Bethlehem.
Bethlehem was known as the hometown of David,
From whom the Messiah would descend.
David was a mighty king of Israel,
But the One to come would upend
Not only the Jews but every nation
For He was born to be King of Kings.
The Magi from the East bowed in worship
And brought Him precious things.
For Jesus fulfilled this prophecy,
Born in tiny, obscure Bethlehem.
However, when He returns to this world
All
people will bow low before Him;
For then it will be obvious
That He is the Lord of all.
Not only those who love Him
But evildoers before Him will fall.
The baby laid in the manger
When there were no rooms to be found
Will return with the fanfare of trumpets
Which throughout the world will resound.
All those who refused to believe Him,
Will lie prostrate on their faces
And from their unwilling mouths
Will proclaim the King of king’s praises.
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord—
That Baby born in Bethlehem
In fulfillment of God’s word.
