MICAH 4
In four pictures, Micah presents a vision of the judgment of Israel’s enemies and the establishment of the future kingdom.
A city (1–5). Even though Jerusalem would be destroyed by Babylon, one day the city would become the capital of the kingdom. It will be a time of peace when all men will want to learn about the Lord and walk in His ways.
A flock (6–8). The Lord will gather His flock (the remnant) and care for the lame and the afflicted. Their Shepherd will be their King, and He will reign in righteousness.
A birth (9–10). As the pregnant woman must deliver the child, so Judah must be taken captive to Babylon. It would be a time of pain, but it would eventually bring blessing. God promised to deliver them and restore them.
A harvest (11–13). The day will come when God’s people will defeat their enemies who seek to destroy them. It will be like the threshing of grain, and the harvest will be given to the Lord.
