The prophecy of the Messiah being born in Bethlehem also provides another detail about who the Messiah/Son of David would be. He is described as eternal, which is something only God can truthfully claim.

1. The location of Jesus’ birth was predicted 800 years before it took place.

2. Jesus’ claims to be God were in the sort of things He did and said.

3. God’s character is trusted because He’s kept every promise He’s ever made.
