On Prophesy

I read through a little bit of Micah a few days ago.
One of my new favorite verses:
"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 days of eternity."-Micah 5:2, NIV

"Origins from of old, from days of eternity"
That's pretty poetic. Jesus Christ, our new testament savior, is from of old. He's eternal. He was alive billions and billions of year ago. He was around when Moses and Aaron were in charge. He watched Jewish history unfold as humanity proved to itself that the Laws couldn't possibly be enough to save us from our sins. And he waited patiently until the Father said, "go", and then joined us on this lonely blue speck where humanity is just a phrase to cover up all the shortcomings of our lives.
