Micah 5:2
New International Version
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
It's wise to look at how a number of translations render this verse to get a flavour. Days of eternity is an infortunate choice of words, probably trinitarian scribes trying to push the doctrine of Jesus preexisting his conception and birth which is absurd of course.
The NIV is a decent translation. Every human being has an origin of old.... from ancient times, and in the context, its related to Bethlehem which was obviously important with regards King David, Jesse, Rachel.... important people in Jesus' lineage.
Also notice in verse 4 where the man talked about has Yahweh as his God, and he does everything by the power of his God.
God does not have a God.
