G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Micah 4:1-13

From this scene of a corrupt people governed by corrupt rulers, the prophet lifts his eyes, and looking into the future sees the day when under true government deliverance will be wrought and the divine order be established. In this look ahead he saw the mountain of Jehovah's house established and the peoples flowing into it. Out of Zion the Lord would come forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. The result of this establishment of divine authority would be cessation of war, and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:9-13

Micah Describes The Coming Tribulations of Judah But Gives the Final Assurance That In The End YHWH Will Triumph (Micah 4:9-13 ). The near future is seen as bleak. Judah and Jerusalem are seen as in despair, without any hope of assistance from their king or counsellors. Indeed they will endure birth pains and will be carried be forced to live in the open countryside, and even some of them in that arch enemy of God, Babylon. But in the end God will rescue them from there, and deliver them from... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:6-13

Micah 4:6 to Micah 5:1 . Exile and Restoration: Israel’ s Victory over the Nations.— The reference to the Babylonian exile ( Micah 4:10) shows that the passage is not earlier than the sixth century, Micah himself being concerned with Assyria, not Babylon. The sequence of thought is not clear, and it has been suggested that Micah 4:9 f. should precede Micah 4:6-Ruth :; Micah 4:11 ff. is apparently a distinct prophecy, describing a siege of Jerusalem which is eschatological rather than... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Micah 4:13

Arise: this imperative may be read in the future tense, and so be an express promise; it is, however, an implicit promise made to the daughter of Zion, the Jewish church, type of the gospel catholic church, that she shall be raised out of a captive, low, and oppressed state, and this shall be by the reviving power of her God. Thresh; so in a decorum to the metaphor, Micah 4:12, used to express the gathering of the enemy into the floor to be broken: the future strength of the church, employed... read more

Chapter 4But in the last days ( Micah 4:1 )Or in the later days. So we move on out into yet the future. This has not yet happened, far from it, but it is going to happen. And I am convinced that it is going to happen in the near future.But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it ( Micah 4:1 ).God is going to establish His throne upon... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Micah 4:1-13

Micah 4:1 . In the last days it shall come to pass. In the new times, as in Isaiah 4:0., which Micah had read, and now repeats by the Spirit. In the gospel age the new-testament church, built above the hills of human power, shall rise in glory over all the earth. Micah 4:2 . Many nations shall come. Those who have been worshippers of idols, and constantly engaged in war, shall, after their conversion, to the great shame of carnal christian nations, leave their wilder habits of hunting... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Micah 4:9-13

Micah 4:9-13The Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemiesThe moral regeneration of the worldI. The state of mankind requires it. “Is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished?” It was more serious for the Jewish people to be deprived of a king than for any other people, for their king was theocratic, he was supposed to be the Voice and vicegerent of God. The prophet means to say, that when the Chaldeans would come and carry them away, they would have no king and no... read more
