Fulfillment of Prophesy (Number 4 with added value)

Prophesy dated sometime between 750 - 695 B.C.:
Micah 5:2;  "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto me that is to be the ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting [Lit. the days of eternity]."

Notes:

• Micah was a contemporary of Isaiah; brought up in the countryside
• The kings born in proud Jerusalem failed (generally with a few notable exceptions)
• The Messiah incarnated in lowly Bethlehem triumphs
• The LORD personified Bethlehem with the announcement that he will lunch the Messianic age
• Ephratah is the name of the district in which Bethlehem was located - means 'fruitful'
• Reinforces Messiah's origins in the pure springs of Jesse and David and ignores the later decadent and disappointing lineage born in Jerusalem
• Isaiah presented the same by comparing the Messiah springing up from the stump of Jesse
• Micah takes us back to the beginning of David's line  - new beginning from a new heritage - as God had unexpectedly anointed David and rescued his people from the failure of Saul so he will give his people David's true successor after the defeat of David's descendants
• Fulfillment confirms the work of God and its message that God delights to chose the weak and despised things of this world to shame the wise and the strong
• "unto [for] me" underscores the fact that the Messiah, like David, serves the LORD'S plans - a vice regent under his superior
• "come forth"  - The Messiah, humanly speaking, will have the finest royal blood - not only a servant of the Lord but also an heir of God's eternal covenant with David

Fulfillment:
Matthew 2:1;  "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,"
