The Place, But What Day?

But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
​​Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
​​For out of you shall come a Ruler
​​Who will shepherd My people Israel.
  -- Matthew 2:6 from Micah 5:2

Hundreds of years before Christ was born, the place was named by the prophet. Our Lord Jesus has a great many prophecies about Him, His birth, and even His return. That alone serves to remind me that there is something special about this man who was born in Bethlehem.

So, we have the place, but about that 'when'? Yes, there does seem to be something rather more special about that time and date. There is doubt that He was born on December the 25th, and it may be that He was not even born in 1 A.D. It seems that the when is something held extra special to the Lord God. We see that in the day and hour of our Lord's return, since no one knows that but the Father in Heaven, not even the Son.

In some things, we just keep our faith in Jesus!
