Micah 5: Is Bethlehem The Messiah's Birthplace?

The following are the Counter-Missionary Survival Seminar notes for Micah 5 session. Micah 5: Is Bethlehem The Messiah's Birthplace? Does the passage mean that the Jewish Messiah must be born is Bethlehem? Who is the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, the prince of peace? MICAH 5:2-6 2 But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old,

Chapter 29 - CALLED OUT OF EGYPT

Chapter 29 - CALLED OUT OF EGYPT

Continued from Chapter 28 (Hosea 11:1-2) Hosea 11:1-2: When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.

This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all were proceeding to register for the census, everyone to his own city.
