Annunciation is an announcement made by an Angel to Zachariah - Luke 1:11 to Mary - Luke 1:26 to Joseph - Matthew 1:20
Micah 5
Micah announced that Israel will be humbled by foreign powers, and even her judges will bear insults. (vs 1) yet, out of the town shall come the One to be Ruler in Israel. In the coming time of humiliation under foreign powers, God would raise up a great Ruler from a humble place — Bethlehem. Bethlehem means "House of Bread", and Jesus is the Bread of Life (John 6:35) Bethlehem Ephrathah is to distinguish it from Bethlehem Nazareth which is much farther north and not where Joseph and Mary travelled too.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
