Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 4:6-7

Micah 4:6-7. In that day At that time; will I assemble her that halteth Or, her that is weak, or bowed down; namely, the Jewish people, weakened with the hard usage of oppressing conquerors. And I will gather her that is driven out Captive Judah, driven out from their own land. And her that I have afflicted That I have subjected to great calamities.

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 4:7

"And I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast off a strong nation: and Jehovah will reign over them in Mount Zion from henceforth even forever."That portion of the old Israel which was "lame" and "cast off," as for example the hated and hunted minority in the times of Elijah, will become, through God's power, "the remnant," that is, the only part of old Israel that will partake of the everlasting kingdom in Christ. The nucleus of the New Israel of God would be... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 4:7

The Lord promised to make these lame outcasts of the earth, the Jews, a surviving, strong nation and to reign over them personally from Mt. Zion forever (cf. Psalms 146:10; Zephaniah 3:19; Luke 1:33; Revelation 11:15). He will do this through the Messiah, Jesus Christ. His millennial reign will continue until the destruction of the present heavens and earth. Then it will continue on a new earth throughout eternity (2 Peter 3:10-13). read more

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
