Today: [Micah 5] The Passage that Led the Magi. In Micah 5 the prophet speaks first of the coming fall of Judah and Samaria, and then foreshadows the coming of the Messiah Himself. In this passage, it is believed by many, the Magi who sought Jesus’ out in Bethlehem, found their instruction regarding how to find the Messiah. Jewish sources read these passages and see nothing of Jesus in them, but for us it is a compelling passage, written centuries before the birth of the savior, predicting His death, resurrection and ultimate rule over all mankind.
