Miquéias 7:11-12 NVT

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:11-12

The good time coming. "In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain." The prophet here speaks in the name of Israel, and seems to exult in the expectation of the full restoration of Jerusalem. Her walls would be rebuilt, and her scattered citizens would be gathered unto... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 7:12

He shall come; they shall come . Men shall flock to Zion as the metropolis of the new kingdom ( Micah 4:2 ). The countries named are those in which the Jews were dispersed (see Isaiah 11:11 ). Micah embraces in one view the restoration of Israel and the conversion of the heathen (comp. Isaiah 19:24 ; Isaiah 27:12 , Isaiah 27:13 ). Assyria . The type of the greatest enemy of God. The fortified cities; rather, the cities of Mazor, the strong land, i.e. Egypt. The usual term... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 7:11-12

On this confession of unworthiness and trust the message of joy bursts in, with the abruptness and conciseness of Hosea or Nahum:A day to build thy fences; (that is, cometh;)That day, far shall be the degree;That day, and he shall come quite to thee;And there follows, in a longer but still remarkably measured and interrupted cadence, the statement of the length and breadth from which the people shall come to her;Up to and from Assyria and the cities of strong-land (Egypt;)Up to and from... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Micah 7:10-13

Micah 7:10-13. Then she that is mine enemy Namely, the Chaldean nation. Which said unto me, (namely, when she held me captive,) Where is the Lord thy God? Where is now Jehovah, whom thou worshippest, and sayest is the only God? Why does he not now deliver thee? Why does he not free thee from my hands, who am not his worshipper? Mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down, &c. As the heathen beheld the desolations of God’s church and temple with delight, (see Micah... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Micah 7:1-20

Sin, repentance and forgiveness (7:1-20)Speaking as one of the genuine believers in the nation, Micah confesses that God’s accusations are true. The prophet can find nothing to satisfy him in the life of the people as a whole. Judah as a nation is fruitless and of no use to God (7:1).All around him Micah sees a society that is in a state of moral decay. Gang warfare is widespread, and law-breakers buy protection from judges. Rich businessmen and other influential persons bribe government... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Micah 7:12

he = one. But a special various reading called Sevir ( App-34 ), reads "they": i.e. thine exiles. come = come home; as in 1 Samuel 11:5 .Psalms 45:15 .Proverbs 2:10 , or, into blessing; as in Psalms 69:27 . Nothing has "fallen out" of the text! Assyria. See the "enemy", Micah 7:10 . the fortified cities = the cities of Matzor (i.e. the fortress) put for Egypt. Compare Isaiah 19:6 ; Isa 19:37 . the river. Put by Figure of speech Synecdoche (of Genus), App-6 , for the Euphrates. Also the... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 7:11

"A day for building thy walls! in that day shall the decree be far removed.""Prophesying the rebuilding of the walls also follows very naturally ... Israel also looked for a day when their frontiers would be extended, when her dominion would run from Assyria to Egypt."[22]It is a great mistake, however, to overlook the spiritual import of these great prophecies. True, Israel's captivity was concluded in the triumphant return of the people to Jerusalem, a very necessary event prerequisite to the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 7:12

"In that day shall they come unto thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain."This verse continues the prophecy of the extensive acceptance of Christianity all over the world. Those who would restrict it to some literal fulfillment in the resurgence of the old Hebrew Empire miss the point altogether. The language here includes much more than the area between the Mediterranean Sea and Euphrates River. Such... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Micah 7:11

Micah 7:11. In the day, &c.— In the day that thy walls shall be rebuilt, that day shall remove from thee the decree or judgment; that is to say, thine established laws; the laws of thy kingdom and temple. That threats, not promises, are contained in this passage, will appear probable to the reader who attends to what follows; particularly the words, The land shall be desolate. The Jews then lost their rites, and the laws of their kingdom, when they had but just repaired their walls under... read more
