Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Micah 4:1-13

The Golden Age Micah 4:1 The Prophet lifts his eyes away to the latter days to gain refreshment in his present toil. Without the anticipation of a golden age he would lose his buoyancy, and the spirit of endeavour would go out of his work. What are the characteristics of the golden age to which the Prophet was looking with hungry and aspiring spirit? I. In the golden age emphasis is to be given to the spiritual. In the latter days the spiritual is to have emphasis above pleasure, money,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Micah 4:1-7

ON TIME’S HORIZONMicah 4:1-7THE immediate prospect of Zion’s desolation which closes chapter 3 is followed in the opening of chapter 4 by an ideal picture of her exaltation and supremacy "in the issue of the days." We can hardly doubt that this arrangement has been made of purpose, nor can we deny that it is natural and artistic. Whether it be due to Micah himself, or Whether he wrote the second passage, are questions we have already discussed. Like so many others of their kind, they cannot be... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Micah 4:1-13

CHAPTER 4 1. The future of glory (Micah 4:1-5 ) 2. The restoration and the final victory (Micah 4:6-13 ) Micah 4:1-5 . The last verse predicted the long desolation and ruin of Zion. This is followed at once by a great prophecy of the future of glory in store for Zion. Isaiah also uttered this great prediction. Not that Micah copied Isaiah, nor Isaiah Micah, but the same Spirit gave to the men the same prophecy. It concerns the latter days, which means the coming of Messiah’s kingdom on... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Micah 4:5

4:5 For all people will walk {g} every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.(g) He shows that the people of God ought to remain constant in their religion, even if all the world should give themselves to their superstition and idolatry. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Micah 4:1-13

MICAH INTRODUCTION The little known of Micah is briefly stated. Calling himself a Morasthite indicates Moresheth, or Mareshah, as his birthplace in southwestern Judah, near Gath. The time of his prophesying is shown in the same verse (by the reference to the kings of Judah) as between 758-700 B.C. He seems to be the writer of his own book, if we may judge from the personal allusions in chapter 3:1, 8, and to have died in peace, judging by Jeremiah 26:18-19 . He is frequently referred to as a... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Micah 4:1-13

The Glory of the Church Micah 4:0 , Micah 5:0 We cut up our time into days and years, little spaces and periods, and we magnify them exceedingly by the trifling incidents which occur within them; but to the prophetic gaze the whole question of time was divided into two the first days, and the last days; the days before Christ, and the days after Christ. As to all that went between, it was matter of detail and necessary progress, and sequential development. How much we lose by frittering away... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Micah 4:1-5

So very important in the eye of God the Holy Ghost, is this blessed prophecy, that he thought proper to commission two of his servants the Prophets to deliver it to the Church, and almost in the very same words. If the Reader will look back to the second Chapter of Isaiah's writings, he will find the same there delivered to the Church, as the Prophet Micah hath in this Chapter. And is not this as if to say, in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall, every word be established? 2 Corinthians... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Micah 4:5

And ever. After the captivity the Gentiles continued to worship idols, and the Jews had a greater aversion for them; but when the gospel was propagated, idols fell into contempt, and the Jewish law was at an end, while heretics were varying continually. The Church alone is stable, and built upon the rock. (Calmet) --- All such quiet people as walk in the name of the Lord, will keep peace even with those who hate it, (Psalm cxix.) suffering persecution with joy, Hebrews x. 34. (St. Iren'e6us iv.... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:1-8

1-8 The nations have not yet so submitted to the Prince of Peace, as to beat their swords into ploughshares, nor has war ceased. But very precious promises these are, relating to the gospel church, which will be more and more fulfilled, for He is faithful that has promised. There shall be a glorious church for God set up in the world, in the last days, in the days of the Messiah. Christ himself will build it upon a rock. The Gentiles worshipped their idol gods; but in the period spoken of, the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Micah 4:1-7

The Glory of the House of the Lord v. 1. But in the last days, in the great Messianic period, it shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the Lord, of old typical of the Church of the true God, shall be established in the top of the mountains, the ideal Zion being elevated above all else in the world, Cf Isaiah 2:17; 2 Corinthians 10:5, and it shall be exalted above the hills, visible before the eyes of all men; and people shall flow unto it, members of all the nations of the... read more
