Commentary on Micah 4:6

Theological / Devotional

Halteth. Heb. ṣala‘, “to limp,” “to be lame.” Israel in exile is compared to a scattered flock of sheep. Verses 6, 7 picture God’s plan for the remnant of Israel. It was hoped that a religious revival would sweep the ranks of the exiles and that the Israelites at long last would accept their divine destiny. Micah is forecasting the glorious results of such a revival. Unfortunately the failure of the Jews made impossible the fulfillment of these events with respect to literal Israel. The purposes of Heaven will now be accomplished through the spiritual seed, the Christian church (Gal. 3:7, 9, 29). Converts from all nations will be gathered into the spiritual kingdom of grace, which, at the second coming of Christ, will become the kingdom of glory (see pp. 28–30).
