of King David, while Jesus chose to live in Nazareth, just a few miles from the Bethlehem of old in the land of Zebulon, Isaiah said he would be born in?

Ben Yeshua- Crucify Jesus "again?" What by letting people know that Jesus was BORN a GENTILE and chose to LIVE as a GENTILE. Why would he do that UNLESS, he WAS a Gentile? A GENTILE who did not teach the JEWISH FAITH but the EGYPTIAN one, and Nazareth is the "key" to the truth in what I say for up to the PRESENT, the population of this town REMAINS mostly of Arab "descent."

Look what it says:
Isaiah 9
1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan-
Nazareth is still considered in the region of Galilee.

There were two Bethlehems in Israel. One in Zebulim and the other in Ephratah. Micha 5:2 indicates Ephratah, where David's ancestors lived.
Thus, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy as He was there just long enough to be born, then flee to Egypt. By the way, Isaiah 60 tells of the Kings paying offering to the Lord, and it names the items they presented.
Back to Nazareth, the Pharisees said: "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" They, like you overlooked the divine residence of Jesus infancy. That is why they crucified Him, and YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO IT AGAIN.
But God has given us a Bible code that proves Jesus is the Messiah. It is just for people like you who would serve God if they knew He existed. www.abiblecode.com
Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

It was Bethlehem of Ju-DE-a (Judae); not Judah. Judah was one of the tribes of Isreal, whereas Judea was an area on the map.
Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth, but had come to Bethlehem to pay their annual taxes, when Jesus was born. That's the only reason Jesus was born in Bethlehem, rather than in Nazareth (that, and the fact that God chose for Jesus to be born in Behtlehem).
Jesus then grew up in Nazareth, because that's where his family lived, and not because he chose to live there. Children don't choose where they live. They live wherever their family lives. It was no different with Jesus.
