Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, who shall rule my people Israel.
Matthew quotes the prophet Micah in regard to the prophesied promise of where the Messiah Yeshua will be born. The Savior of the world will be born in Bethlehem. In this fulfilled prophecy is the promise: a Governor will come out of Bethlehem who will rule God’s people Israel.
The promise is for Gentiles who become a part of His people by faith in Jesus the Christ. By being born from above through the Gospel Word we enter the kingdom of God. Over that Eternal Kingdom the Governor, the Prince, the Ruler, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the King of all the kingdoms of the world will rule the universal, invisible Church of believers for its good. Indeed, this God of our Lord Jesus Christ gave Him as head over all things to the church.
This is the promise: Jesus has taken over as Absolute Monarch over all things just for the good of the Church, you and me. The One who loves me is in charge of everything for me.
Therefore, we pray with trust and confidence: “Thy kingdom come” to my heart and life, and “Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever.” Then we sit back and enjoy His Kingship and His Kingdom.
