And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
Luke 2:1, 4-5 KJVAbout that time Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the Empire. This was the first census when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be accounted for. So Joseph went from the Galilean town of Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David’s town, for the census. As a descendant of David, he had to go there. He went with Mary, his fiancée, who was pregnant.

Imagine the lengths that God will go through to get what he wants. He needed Joseph and Mary to go to Bethlehem.
It is one of those things that people cannot logically deal with, the amount of perfect circumstances that resulted in the fulfillment of prophecy.
So true.
