Micah 4:6 NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Micah 4:1-7

It is a very comfortable but with which this chapter begins, and very reviving to those who lay the interests of God's church near their heart and are concerned for the welfare of it. When we sometimes see the corruptions of the church, especially of church-rulers, princes, priests, and prophets, seeking their own things and not the things of God, and when we soon after see the desolations of the church, Zion for their sakes ploughed as a field, we are ready to fear that it will one day perish... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Micah 4:6

In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth ,.... The Jews or Israelites so described; not from the halting of Jacob their father, as Abarbinel thinks; nor because of their halting between two opinions, worshipping both the true God and idols, as in the times of Elijah; for this will not suit with the Jews in their present state; but because they were like lame and maimed sheep, to which the allusion is; or because they were guilty of sins, which are sometimes expressed by... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:6

Will I assemble her that halteth - driven out - afflicted - Under these epithets, the state of the Jews, who were to be gathered into the Christian Church, is pointed out. They halted between the true God and idols; they were driven out into captivity, because of this idolatry; and they were variously afflicted, because they would not return unto the Lord that bought them. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Micah 4:6

Verse 6 The Prophet pursues the same subject. But we must ever remember what I have previously reminded you of, — that the trials would be so grievous and violent that there would be need of strong and uncommon remedies; for the faithful might have been a hundred times sunk, as it were, in the deepest gulfs, except they had been supported by various means. This then is the reason why the Prophet confirms so fully the truth which we have noticed respecting the restoration of the Church. In that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:1-8

The Messiah's spiritual kingdom. These verses call us away from the contemplation of sin and its effects as set forth in the previous chapters, and hid us turn our thoughts to the golden age that rose before the prophet's vision, and animated and cheered his heart in the dark days in which his lot was cast. We live in happier times. Much that was to him only distant expectation has become fully realized by us. "Blessed are our eyes," etc. ( Matthew 13:16 , Matthew 13:17 ). Still,... read more

In that day. The Messianic age of Micah 4:1 . Her that halteth; Septuagint, τὴν συντετριμμένην , "her that is bruised;" Vulgate, claudicantem . Under the image of a flock footsore and dispersed, the prophet signifies the depressed condition of the excelled Hebrews (comp. Micah 2:12 ; Zephaniah 3:19 ). It is the sick and afflicted here who are to he gathered together, the remnant, that is (verse 7), wherever found, which turns to the Lord in repentance and humility. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:6-7

The restoration of Israel. It is the Gentile nations for whom the blessings of "the last days" have just been predicted ( Micah 4:2-4 ). The new Mount Zion of the Messiah's days will have a magnetic power on "the East and the West" ( Matthew 8:11 ; John 12:32 ). But Israel, through whom these blessings reach the nations, shall not be excluded from a share in them. Yet the form of the prediction reminds us of the abject condition of God's ancient people and of the gradual extension of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Micah 4:6-8

The moral monarchy of Christ in the world. "In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; and I will make her that halted a remnant, and bet that was cast far off a strong nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion from henceforth, even forever. And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Micah 4:6

In that day - that is, in that day of Christ and of His Gospel, of grace and salvation, the last days of which he had been speaking. Hitherto he had prophesied the glory of Zion, chiefly through the coming-in of the Gentiles. Now he adds, how the Jews should, with them, be gathered by grace into the one fold, in that long last day of the Gospel, at the beginning, in the course of it, and completely at the end Romans 11:26.Her that halteth - The prophet resumes the image of the scattered flock,... read more
