弥迦书 4:5 RCUVSS

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 4:1-13

4:1-5:15 THE IDEAL KINGDOMShame replaced by glory (4:1-5:1)Previously Micah recorded God’s promise that the people of Israel would come from captivity back to their land (see 2:12-13). He now looks beyond that to the greater day when God’s ideal king reigns and Jerusalem is the religious centre of the world. People of all nations desire to worship God and learn his law, with the result that there is universal peace and contentment (4:1-4). This future hope encourages Micah and his few fellow... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 4:5

"For all the peoples walk everyone in the name of his god; and we walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.""All the peoples walk everyone in the name of his god ..." This comment explains that the glorious promises of the prior four verses do not pertain to those who continue to walk in the darkness of paganism. They violently abuse this passage who would make it declare that, "paganism is perfectly proper for pagans!"[20] What is clearly evident here is the fact that the glorious... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Micah 4:5

Micah 4:5. And we will walk, &c.— This passage respects the Jews alone, and the times which followed the captivity; when the Jews continued attached to their God, while the Gentile world remained in the darkness of idolatry. The two next verses, primarily respecting the return from the captivity, have, as is usual with the prophets, a still farther view to the Gospel times, and especially to the last call of the Jews, the fulness of the Gentiles, and the establishment of Christ's millennial... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Micah 4:5

5. For—rather, Though it be that all people walk after their several gods, yet we (the Jews in the dispersion) will walk in the name of the Lord. So the Hebrew particle means in the Margin, Genesis 8:21; Exodus 13:17; Joshua 17:18. The resolution of the exile Jews is: As Jehovah gives us hope of so glorious a restoration, notwithstanding the overthrow of our temple and nation, we must in confident reliance on His promise persevere in the true worship of Him, however the nations around, our... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 4:1-8

1. The exaltation of Zion 4:1-8Micah mentioned several characteristics of the future kingdom of Messiah in this section. Micah 4:1-3 are similar to Isaiah 2:2-4. Scholars debate whether Isaiah borrowed from Micah or vice versa, whether they both drew from an older original source, or whether they each received their similar words directly from the Lord. There is no way to tell for sure. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 4:5

In Micah’s day the Gentile nations, and many of the Israelites, followed other gods, but in the future they would all follow Yahweh. Consequently the Israelites needed to follow Him immediately. These promises encouraged Micah to make a fresh and lasting commitment for Israel to walk in the Lord’s ways rather than in the ways of the gods of other nations (cf. 2 Peter 3:11-12; 1 John 3:3). Walking in the name of Yahweh means living in dependence on His strength, which His attributes manifest. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:1-13

Zion the Spiritual Centre of the Earth1-10. Here purified Israel is the light to the nations, which joyously acknowledge the supremacy of its God. The Temple shall be glorified, because known as the source of a help which all men need. When men grow eager for this, their wars shall cease (Micah 4:1-4). Because Israel is holding its faith as a trust for all men, Micah bids his people hold it more resolutely (Micah 4:5). Though their very national existence is threatened (Micah 4:9-10), let them... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:1-15

Bright Visions of the FutureMicah’s view of Israel’s future, especially in relation to the nations. He believes that God chose Israel to maintain and teach true religion, and that in this lies Israel’s greatness. The people have forgotten this and have tried to emulate the other nations in wealth and pride and armed strength. Such a contest was hopeless, and God will prove its hopelessness by bringing ruin on Jerusalem, where these pomps were gathered. But, when the chastisement has done its... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Micah 4:5

(5) For all people will walk.—The comparatively near future to Micah, and the still distant future to us, are blended in the prophet’s vision: just as in the prophecies of our Lord the destruction of Jerusalem is described in terms which have their final accomplishment in the day of judgment. Micah’s description of the universal rule of Messiah is primarily applicable to the antecedent prosperity, after the return of the Jews from the captivity. The zeal of the Jews for Jehovah was stirred up... read more
