No. Really? Come on! The list maker actually claims that Jesus fulfilled a prophecy to regather Israel (the Jewish people)? Nothing could be further from the truth. "I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; together I will make them as sheep in a fold, as a flock within its stall shall they stir with people." Michah / Micah 2:12. 2000 years ago the nation of Judah (Judea) had become a vassal state to Rome. A majority of Jews didn't even live in Judah -- many having never left Babylon after the exile hundreds of years earlier. Other Jews lived in Egypt, Rome -- the various locations of the known world. . . A mere forty years after Jesus' supposed death the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, and about sixty years later the Romans exiled most of the Jews from the entire country -- and renamed it "Palestine" as an insult (the name referenced an old Jewish enemy, the Philistines). So exactly "how" did Jesus regather Israel? It never happened! Who was Micah? Micah was a prophet who lived during the reigns of Yosam, Ahaz and Chizkiyahu / Hezekiah -- the same time as the prophet Y'shayahu / Isaiah. This was nearly 700 years before Jesus supposedly lived. This was about 150 years before the destruction of the first Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonian hosts and the first exile of the Jews. "Micah the Morashtite was prophesying in the days of Chizkiyahu / Hezekiah the king of Judah, saying: So said the L-rd of Hosts: Zion shall be plowed for a field, and Jerusalem shall be heaps, and the Temple Mount as the high places of a forest." Y'rmiyahu / Jeremiah 26:18. Micah warned of the destruction of Samaria and Jerusalem. Samaria was destroyed about 25 years after his proclamation. Jerusalem was destroyed 130+ years later -- in the year 3338. Remember that all negative visions can be avoided -- this is the very reason negative visions exist -- to avoid them!
