Which Old Testament prophet, other than Isaiah, most explicitly prophesied that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem?

Correct Answer

C) Micah

In Micah 5:2, the prophet Micah foretold the birthplace of the Messiah, saying, "But you, 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." This prophecy, written hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth, was fulfilled in the nativity story when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, as recorded in Matthew 2:1-6 and Luke 2:4-7.
