弥迦书 4:5 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 4:1-7

It is a very comfortable but with which this chapter begins, and very reviving to those who lay the interests of God's church near their heart and are concerned for the welfare of it. When we sometimes see the corruptions of the church, especially of church-rulers, princes, priests, and prophets, seeking their own things and not the things of God, and when we soon after see the desolations of the church, Zion for their sakes ploughed as a field, we are ready to fear that it will one day perish... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 4:5

For all people will walk everyone in the name of his god ,.... Till those times come before described; when many nations and people shall flock to the church, and there shall be such general peace and tranquillity as here promised; till then the nations of the earth shall retain their former religion, and the profession of it, with constancy, till they are otherwise instructed, as Aben Ezra; or till the Messiah shall turn them into the right way, as Kimchi; till that time comes, the Pagans... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:5

Every one in the name of his god - This shall be the state of the Gentile world; but after the captivity, the Jews walked in the name of Jehovah alone; and acknowledge no other object of religious worship to the present day. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:5

Verse 5 Micah, after having spoken of the restoration of the Church, now confirms the same truth, and shows that the faithful would have reason enough to cleave constantly to their God, and to despise all the superstitions of the world, and that though they may be tossed here and there by contrary opinions, they will yet continue in true religion. This verse then is connected with the kingdom of Christ; for until we are gathered, and Christ shines among us and rules us by his word, there can be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:1-8

The Messiah's spiritual kingdom. These verses call us away from the contemplation of sin and its effects as set forth in the previous chapters, and hid us turn our thoughts to the golden age that rose before the prophet's vision, and animated and cheered his heart in the dark days in which his lot was cast. We live in happier times. Much that was to him only distant expectation has become fully realized by us. "Blessed are our eyes," etc. ( Matthew 13:16 , Matthew 13:17 ). Still,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:5

This verse gives the reason why Israel is thus strong and safe. In the parallel passage in Isaiah ( Isaiah 2:5 ) it is converted into an injunction to the house of Jacob. All people will walk; rather, all nations walk. Everyone in the name of his god . "To walk" is generally used of moral and religious habits ( e.g. 2 Chronicles 17:4 ; Psalms 89:31 ; Ezekiel 5:6 , etc.); so here the meaning is that all other nations adhere to their false gods, and frame their life and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:5

Man's religious nature. "For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the Name of the Lord our God forever and ever." It is trite to say, what has been said a thousand times, that man has a religious nature. Albeit the practical recognition of the fact is of immense importance; without it, more than half the history of the world would be inexplicable, all methods for its true improvement would be futile, and man would pass through this world to another... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 4:5

For all people well walk, every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God - Hitherto unsteadfastness had been the very characteristic sin of Israel. It was , “constant only in its inconstancy,” ever “falling away like their forefathers, starting aside like a broken bow” Psalms 78:57. The pagan persevered in their worship, because it was evil or had evil in it, not checking but feeding their passions. Israel did not persevere in his, because it required him to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 4:1-5

Micah 4:1-5. In the last days it shall come to pass, &c., The first three of these verses are the same as Isaiah 2:2-4, where see the notes. They evidently “contain a prophecy which was to be fulfilled by the coming of the Messiah; when the [believing] Gentiles were to be admitted into covenant with God, and the apostles were to preach the gospel, beginning at Jerusalem; when Christ was to be the spiritual Judge and King of many people, was to convince many nations of their errors and... read more
