Bethlehem
Occurrences: 1
First Reference: Yeshua 28:81
But others which believed, said: “How can this man be the Anointed One seeing that the scriptures say that he which is promised shall come from the seed of David in Bethlehem?
See: David (Son of), Virgin Birth
Summary: Scripture portrays the confusion that existed in Yeshua’s day regarding the coming of the Anointed One. During Yeshua’s second year of ministry while teaching in Jerusalem, many came to believe that Yeshua was the Anointed One, but struggled to reconcile what they knew about Yeshua with prophecy established in Hebrew scripture (Y:28:81) (Micah 5:2; Isaiah 7:14; 2 Samuel 7:12-13). The Song of God addresses how in the days of Yeshua many were filled with “all manner of foolish expectations concerning this Anointed One” due to the corruption of scripture by conspiring men (1:3:29-31).
According to Azrael’s Commentary, Yeshua and his twin brother were born in Jerusalem. A year later, the small family moved to Nazareth (AZC — Virgin Birth; para. 12).
Notes/References:
Such was the evil, Most Holy Father, which pressed hard against the third dispensation of God; and in the fourth came Uriel, who as Isaiah the prophet, would foretell the coming of the Anointed One, but the evil grew darker still and Isaiah was killed.
And all which he taught and wrote concerning the coming of the Promised One did conspiring men corrupt every whit, which thing filled the heart of God with sorrow;
Causing that in the days of Yeshua should the minds of men be clouded with all manner of foolish expectations concerning this Anointed One; and with anger and malice did they crucify the very Father of their souls, whereby they might preserve themselves in power and forsake the good altogether.
