Anthony Smith's comment on 2014-10-18 03:08:43:

I find this comparative verse from one prophet to reference to another quite refreshing. Jesus Christ was born exactly where Micah was inspired to write down his birthplace, and as well as the significance of His arrival. Jeremiah 26 18 lends great light to what some refer to "minor " prophets. Eternity will reveal none of these were less servant of God than those we attach greater weight.
