Micah 4:2

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:2

Higher spiritual life. "Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord." We are too prone to be content with living at a very low level of spiritual attainment. We need to hear and heed the voice of God's own Spirit addressing us through our own consciences, and through all the holy influences encompassing us, and bidding us leave the ordinary plain on which we have been content to dwell, and to ascend the mount of the Lord, and thus to rise to the nobler heights of spiritual privilege and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:2

God our Teacher. "And he will teach us of his ways." How? I. BY WORKING IN OUR HEARTS THE SPIRIT OF TRUE HUMILITY . There must be humility in order that we may apprehend spiritual things. We must become "as little children" would we enter the kingdom of truth. And this disposition is fitting; for what, after all, are we but children in relation to such knowledge? "Embryos we are all." Too many, forgetting this, and cherishing the opposite spirit, misapprehend or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:2

Obedience to the Divine will. "And we will walk in his paths." The idea is—living obediently to the will of God. Observe— I. GOD HAS REVEALED HIS WILL UNTO MAN . "The Law has gone forth," etc. ( Micah 4:8 ). The revelation of what God requires of his creatures has been given II. TO OBEY THAT WILL INDICATES THE POSSESSION OF TRUE PIETY . Sincere piety does not consist in outward observances, although these have so high a value that we are not to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 4:2

And many nations shall come - Isaiah Isaiah 2:2 added the world all to Micah’s prophecy. So our Lord said, “This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations” Matthew 24:14; and the elect are to be gathered out “of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues” Revelation 7:9. All nations shall flow into it. The all might be many or few. Both prophets say that those all should be many. Judah probably knew already of many. The history of Genesis gave... 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

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 4:2

"And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.""Many nations ..." This has been gloriously fulfilled throughout the Christian dispensation by the hundreds of millions of souls all over the planet Earth who have found in Jesus Christ their "all in all" and who look to him... 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
