Matthew 2:3-5
3   When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4   And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5   And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
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, that shall rule my people Israel.

Herod hated Zionism almost as much as Brighteon,
And verse 5 proves that at least some knew,
And thought prophecy could be altered? It cannot, so just buckle up,
Israel will lead the nations into the Millennial Reign of Christ
(Exodus 4:22, John 4:22)
