Micah 5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.
3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labor has given birth;
then the rest of his brothers shall return to the people of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth. 5 And he shall be their peace.
Once again that thread of hope surfaces amidst the news of judgment, wars, and punishment. That hope is found in a Person, a ruler, who will restore justice and righteousness, a Shepherd who will bring together brothers long separated, peoples from all over the earth. And with Him comes forgiveness, restoration, and true peace. He is the One all need.
