The Prophecy

"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. "
Micah 5: 2

Here, truth and beauty. time with eternity meeting,
(Town magnified beyond words could state!)
Heaven kisses earth, and God designs the greeting,
And with mankind a relationship will create.

How can it be - a virgin have a baby;
A branch grow on a seeming long-dead tree?
Is it a parable of truth? Well maybe
This is the way that God would speak to me.

But things occur which logic can't declare;
The world is full of wonders yet unknown.
Imagination's loftiest heights are prone
To midgetry when on them brought to bear.

I'll speak the words of faith while here on earth.
In Heaven perceive the mystery of his birth.  _Peter M Cooke
