Bethlehem, in the Holy Land, is a small city, which stands on a prominent rocky height, 777 meters above sea level. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Meter is a manmade system. In the 18th century, some suggested defining the meter as the length of a pendulum having a half-period of one second; others suggested defining the meter as one ten-millionth of the length of the earth's meridian along a quadrant (one-fourth the circumference of the earth). In 1983, the CGPM replaced this latter definition by the following definition: The meter is the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second.
Lowest place on the Earth:
1. Africa: Lake Asal, Djibouti:- 156 meters below sea level.
2. America, North: Death Valley, California, U.S.A.:- 86 meters below sea level.
3. America, South: Laguna del Carbón, Argentina:- 105meters below sea level.
4. Asia: Dead Sea shore, Israel:- 418 meters below sea level.
5. Australia: Lake Eyre, South Australia:- 12 meters below sea level.
6. Europe: Caspian Sea shore, Russia:- 28 meters below sea level.
Jesus was born in Israel because it is the lowest place on the earth. In all continents of the earth, Dead Sea shore is the lowest place on the earth. Now we can understand that why God asked Abraham to go to the west from Iraq because God wants to meet the man in the lowest place of earth.
Another reason is that Canaan is the land of a curse as Nova cursed his grandson, Canaan. Jesus came to the land of a curse, Canaan to take our curse.
