1346. Christ was born in Bethlehem as prophesied in the Old Testament.

Jn 7:42, Mt 2:4-6

The Old Testament book of Micah said that Christ, the one who would rule over Israel, would be born in Bethlehem. (Mic 5:2)

Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though 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.

As the Old Testament prophesied, Christ was born in Bethlehem. That Christ is Jesus. (John 7:42, Matthew 2:4-6)

John 7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

Matthew 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
