In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues and concludes his December study of Old Testament prophecies concerning the incarnation of Jesus Christ, turning the focus to Micah 5:2 and the significance of little Bethlehem. Though small and overlooked, Bethlehem was chosen by God as the birthplace of One whose goings forth have been from everlasting.

This message explores the biblical and historical background of Bethlehem Ephrath, its connections to Rachel and King David, and the precise fulfillment of Micah’s prophecy in Luke chapter 2 through the Roman census and the birth of Christ. The episode concludes with one of the final Old Testament predictions of the incarnation from Zechariah 2:10–13, where the Lord declares that He will come and dwell among His people—Jew and Gentile alike.
