Micah 4:8

"And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem."

"O tower of the flock ..." This expression comes from the custom of erecting a tower from which a shepherd could watch over his flock; and the meaning is that, "From a spiritual watchtower, Jehovah would watch over his flock."[27]

"The former dominion ..." "has in mind the age of David and Solomon,"[28] That was the period of greatest glory for "the throne of David," the restoration of which was promised in the Messiah. What Micah was saying here is that "The Son of David" (Christ) will preside over the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. "The prophet introduces the Messiah who would come and through whom Jehovah would exercise the rule."[29]
