Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Micah 4:5

Micah AS GOD, SO WORSHIPPER Mic_4:5 . This is a statement of a general truth which holds good of all sorts of religion. ‘To walk’ is equivalent to carrying on a course of practical activity. ‘The name’ of a god is his manifested character. So the expression ‘Walk in the name’ means, to live and act according to, and with reference to, and in reliance on, the character of the worshipper’s god. In the Lord’s prayer the petition ‘Hallowed be Thy name’ precedes the petition ‘Thy will be done.’... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Micah 4:1-13

the Promise of Peace Micah 4:1-13 It is not improbable that Isaiah, Micah 2:1-4 , and Micah quoted an older prophecy, which in its fullness, is yet to be fulfilled. In the millennial age Israel, in her restored beauty, will be the center of a renovated world. That restoration will bring great glory to God and blessing to mankind, Romans 11:15 . The time center of unity is not to be found in creeds or systems, but in the impulse of a common desire after God and common worship. When men have... read more

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:5

A LESSON FROM IDOLATERS‘For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the Name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.’ Micah 4:5 A very peculiar use is made of missions in our text. The heathen are surveyed, not as abandoning their falsehood and superstition, but as adhering to them with the greatest earnestness and tenacity. False gods they have, but they refused to forsake them; dark and oppressive is their service, but they will not abandon it. And from... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:5

Meanwhile Israel Are To Ensure That Just As Each Nation Walks In The Way Of Its God, So They Walk In The Name Of YHWH Their God Unceasingly (Micah 4:5 ). Micah recognises that if the glorious future just described is to come about it is vital that God’s people continue faithful to YHWH. And so he firmly now says to his people, and on behalf of his people, that they will be faithful to YHWH. Micah 4:5 “For all the peoples walk every one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:1-5

Micah 4:1-Deuteronomy : . Jerusalem the Metropolis of the World’ s Religion.— The general character of this passage shows that it is later than Micah’ s time, e.g. the post-Deuteronomic conception of the Temple, so different from that of the previous section, and the kinship with the ideas of Deutero-Isaiah. The first three verses are found also in Isaiah 2:2-Numbers : *; in both cases, this later prophecy has been inserted to soften the harshness of preceding threatenings. In the Messianic... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Micah 4:5

For: this is either a reason why they should be so safe, or else.a declaration of their resolution to take this course, that it may be so with them, and so the Hebrew particle may certainly be rendered. All people will walk every one in the name of his god; it is a received rule that they ought, and it is a constant practice with the nations, they will pray to, depend on, and serve their gods, and think by this course to receive their expected blessings; they are constant to their gods,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Micah 4:5

Micah 4:5 A very peculiar use is made of missions in our text. The heathen are surveyed, not as abandoning their falsehood and superstition, but as adhering to them with the greatest earnestness and tenacity. False gods they have, but they refuse to forsake them; dark and oppressive is their service, but they will not abandon it. And from this steadfastness of the heathen the argument is drawn for making the resolve, "and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever," as... read more
