Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, thought thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” (Micah 5:2)

More than seven-hundred years before Christ was born, Micah, the prophet of God, let the world know where the King of the Jews would be born.

The census decree from Caesar Augustus seven-hundred years after Micah made his prophecy brought Mary and Joseph all the way from Nazareth to Bethlehem where Christ was born, fulfilling the prophecy of Micah.

It is amazing that when the Magi came to Jerusalem to see the new born king, Herod called the priests and scribes together and demanded of them where Christ should be born. They quoted our text as written seven-hundred years before as their answer to Herod.

Let there be no doubt: every prophecy about Jesus has been fulfilled in His first coming or will be fulfilled in His second coming.

“Oh, come let us adore Him, Oh come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.”
