Micah 4

Introduction

THE MESSIANIC OUTLOOK, Micah 4:1 to Micah 5:15.

Chapter 3 pictures the present corruption, chapters 4, 5 the glory to be enjoyed by the remnant after its redemption from the calamity announced briefly in Micah 3:12, and alluded to several times in the two chapters. To emphasize this contrast is undoubtedly one purpose of the present arrangement of the three chapters. It should not be supposed, however, that the three chapters form one connected whole, or that the pictures in 4, v were all drawn at one and the same time. The abrupt transitions and loose connections within the chapters make it certain that they contain rather a collection of short oracles, all dealing with the same subject, but not coming from the same period of the prophet’s activity, and describing the Messianic age from various points of view.
