Prophet Isaiah probably lived in the late eighth and early seventh century B.C.E., so whatever he said was said some 700 years before Jesus was born. What this person said is correct. A little more info is the following It is rather easy to determine this. The book of Isaiah starts off by saying, "During the reigns of Uzziah, Hotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah" Isaiah 6:1 speaks of the "year of King Uzziah's death..." In Chapter 36:1 Isaiah writes about the 14th year of King Hezekiah.In this same chapter we read of the Assyrian King named, Sennacherib. These references along with secular writings that have been found in several places, mentioning Tiglath-pileser 111 , all point to about 700 BC. The answer is more complicated then this simplistic answer. This would be a conservative estimate.
A passages in the Book of Micah is widely believed to be a prophecy of Jesus: (Micah 5:2): "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting."
First of all, it is true that the Jews of around the first century saw this as a prophecy of where the Messiah would be born, so the author of Matthew was in good company in using this as a prophecy of Jesus. However, for this to be a genuine prophecy, it has to have been in the mind of the prophet Micah. Micah was writing in the eighth century before Christ, in the context of military threats to Judah. Israel had been overrun by the Assyrians and Judah risked the same fate. Micah 5:1 refers to the smitten king of Israel and 5:2 expresses the expectation that someone from Bethlehem would become a great ruler. The passage continues on through verses 5:5-7, which tell what Micah expects of this great ruler - that he will defend Judah against the Assyrians when they come into the land and will even conquer Assyria itself!
Long before the time of Jesus, Assyria had become no longer an independent national entity, so Micah was not referring to Jesus. The Jews were desperately hoping for a Messiah to defeat the Roman Empire and were willing to misinterpret this passage to give themselves hope. Whether or not Jesus was really born in Bethlehem, the early Christians saw that this hope suited the spread of the gospel. But Micah was not telling about Jesus.
He prophesied during a period spanning some 85 years.
