One of the greatest Messianic prophecies is found in the book of Micah, 5:2.  Its fulfillment is recorded in Matthew 2:6. 

After Jesus was born, Magi from the east, having seen a unique star, travelled to Jerusalem to find and worship the one born king of the Jews.  When they asked King Herod about this he was disturbed and got the chief priests and teachers of the law to find out where this one was born.  Without hesitation they said Bethlehem, for that’s where Micah 5:2 said it would happen:  “Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” 

The principle of Bible Study here is that the Bible is its own best interpreter.  Whenever you find a statement corroborated and amplified or qualified in another part of the Bible it will help you to understand the meaning of the statement better.  That’s why a concordance is so helpful in Bible study.  Even the cross references in the margins of most Bibles are helpful to check out.

I encourage believers to find the clearest statement in the Bible on any issue.  If a statement is not real clear, find cross references that deal with the same issue.  This usually will help in clarifying what is meant.  Always be careful to not read something into a statement or to take a statement out of its context.
