Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 4:3

"And he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; and nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."This is not the promise of some literal millennium here on earth in which period the wicked nations of earth will be brought together in some kind of a confederation under Israel (fleshly) and in which the ideal peace and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Micah 4:4

"But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it."Here again, the import of the passage is that of spiritual confidence and joy of the redeemed in Christ Jesus. The more Christian a society becomes, the more nearly this perfect ideal is approached. It is impossible, of course, to apply this to literal Jerusalem, an impossibility that provoked Mays to declare that this "is a contradiction of... read more

3. rebuke—convict of sin (John 16:8; John 16:9); and subdue with judgments (Psalms 2:5; Psalms 2:9; Psalms 110:5; Psalms 110:6; Revelation 2:27; Revelation 12:5). many people . . . strong nations afar off—In Isaiah 2:4 it is "the nations . . . many people." read more

4. sit every man under his vine, c.—that is, enjoy the most prosperous tranquillity (1 Kings 4:25 Zechariah 3:10). The "vine" and "fig tree" are mentioned rather than a house, to signify, there will be no need of a covert; men will be safe even in the fields and open air. Lord of hosts hath spoken it—Therefore it must come to pass, however unlikely now it may seem. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 4:1-8

1. The exaltation of Zion 4:1-8Micah mentioned several characteristics of the future kingdom of Messiah in this section. Micah 4:1-3 are similar to Isaiah 2:2-4. Scholars debate whether Isaiah borrowed from Micah or vice versa, whether they both drew from an older original source, or whether they each received their similar words directly from the Lord. There is no way to tell for sure. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 4:2

Many nations would acknowledge the superiority of Israel by coming to the millennial Jerusalem to learn the Lord’s ways from the Israelites. Israel will finally fulfill its function as a kingdom of priests by mediating between God and the people of the world (cf. Exodus 19:6). Gentile people will want to obey His will, in contrast to the Jews of Micah’s day who did not. Jerusalem will become the source of communication concerning the Lord and His will. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 4:3

The Lord will serve as the global Judge deciding disputes between many strong nations far removed from Israel geographically. The Jews of Micah’s day did not want God telling them what to do and not to do, and their judges perverted justice (cf. Micah 3:1-3; Micah 3:9-11). In that future day, the Millennium when Yahweh Messiah is reigning on earth, the nations will convert their implements of warfare into agricultural tools to promote life. They will not engage in warfare or train for battle... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Micah 4:4

Peace will prevail worldwide. The figure of people sitting under their vines and fig trees describes them at rest enjoying the fruits of their labors and God’s blessings (cf. 1 Kings 4:25; Zechariah 3:10). They will not fear. Perhaps because it is so hard to believe that these conditions will ever prevail on earth Micah assured his audience that the very mouth of almighty Yahweh had spoken these words. These promises came from Him, not just from the prophet. They were prophecies that were sure... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:1-13

Zion the Spiritual Centre of the Earth1-10. Here purified Israel is the light to the nations, which joyously acknowledge the supremacy of its God. The Temple shall be glorified, because known as the source of a help which all men need. When men grow eager for this, their wars shall cease (Micah 4:1-4). Because Israel is holding its faith as a trust for all men, Micah bids his people hold it more resolutely (Micah 4:5). Though their very national existence is threatened (Micah 4:9-10), let them... read more
