弥迦书 5:12 CUNPSS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Micah 5:1-15

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 5:10-15

I include all these verses under one reading. They all, according to my view, proclaim the same doctrine, namely, the Lord's promise that the remnant of Jacob shall be defended, blessed, and protected, by Jacob's Lord. They shall be stripped of all false confidences in themselves, and secured from all deceitful errors from others. The Lord undertakes for them, and will in one and the same moment keep them from all spiritual pride, and beat down all their spiritual foes. Precious promises of a... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Micah 5:7-15

7-15 The remnant of Israel, converted to Christ in the primitive times, were among many nations as the drops of dew, and were made instruments in calling a large increase of spiritual worshippers. But to those who neglected or opposed this salvation, they would, as lions, cause terror, their doctrine condemning them. The Lord also declares that he would cause not only the reformation of the Jews, but the purification of the Christian church. In like manner shall we be assured of victory in our... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Micah 5:1-15

The Person and the Rule of Messiah. Having described the conditions and circumstances under which the period of Messianic glory would be established, the prophet now turns to the direct prediction concerning the person and the work of the coming Redeemer. v. 1. Now gather thyself in troops, namely, in order to resist the enemy, O daughter of troops, Jerusalem herself being so designated as the type of the Church Militant; he hath laid siege against us, rather, impersonal, "siege is laid... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Micah 5:1-15

See Micah 4:1 ff for the passage comments with footnotes.(cf. Micah 5:1). נכון stands emphatically as the expression which, from the ancient promise 2 Samuel 7:16; 2 Samuel 7:26, has be come the usual one, for the unchangeable establishment of anything by Almighty God, who can build firmly even on the floods of waters (Psalms 24:2; cf. Psalms 93:2). Parallel to this the following member says: and it (Zion) shall be exalted above the hills (cf. Ezekiel 17:22 f.). The ideal significance ot both... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Micah 5:1-15

the Deliverer from Bethlehem Micah 5:1-15 This name for Bethlehem recalls Genesis 48:7 . Though insignificant in size she would outshine her compeers, because of Messiah’s birth, Matthew 2:6 . As man, our Lord comes from David’s city; but as Son of God, His goings forth are from eternity. Though the Jewish flock rejected Him, He is the Shepherd of men. He is great to the ends of the earth, and has made peace by the blood of His Cross. What though the Assyrian, whether ancient or modern,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Micah 5:2-15

Having thus described the coming deliverance, Micah utters the wonderful prophecy concerning the Deliverer and the deliverance under His administration. The Person of the Deliverer is first described. He is One whose goings forth are from of old, and when He comes it will be to Bethlehem-Ephrathah. Next, His program is described. Its first movement will be abandoning the people, and the second gathering and feeding them. The central declaration of the whole prophecy is found in this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 5:10-15

The Reason Why God Allows The Exile Of His People And Will Yet Cause More Exiles Until The Land Is Empty (Micah 5:10-15 ). In another oracle (‘says YHWH’) Micah now explains why all Israel’s troubles must come upon her. It is in order to purify her and rid her of all the trappings of idolatry. Micah 5:10-11 ‘And it will come about in that day, says YHWH, that I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots, and I will cut off the cities of your land, and... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 5:10-15

Micah 5:10-Ezra : . The Purging of Israel.— Some modern commentators, e.g. Wellhausen and Nowack, refer this to Micah; if so, it would anticipate the Deuteronomic denunciation of the “ pillars” and “ Asherim” ( Deuteronomy 7:5; Deuteronomy 12:3); but the general character of this Divine intervention, to secure a community purified from warfare and idolatry, rather suggests a post-exilic date, when similar references to Asherim, etc., continued to be made ( e.g. Isaiah 27:9), Yahweh will... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Micah 5:12

In this verse the Lord foretells the downfall of all unlawful arts which had been in use, though forbidden by the law of God, Leviticus 20:27. Though Israel should have consulted with God alone, yet they did consult with sorcerers. So did Manasseh, and before him, 2 Kings 17:17. Thou shalt have no more soothsayers; the very art shall be out of use, and none shall openly, as formerly, consult with them, or they make profession of foretelling events, or what a lucky day or hour to set upon an... read more
