Commentary

Commentary on Micah 5:7

Theological / Devotional

As a dew. According to God’s plan for ancient Israel, victory over enemy opposition would have been followed by an intensive program of evangelism. The men of Israel were to enlighten the whole world with a knowledge of God (see pp. 26-30; cf. Desire of Ages 27). The figures of dew and rain were most appropriate in a land where from about May to October there was, for practical purposes, no rainfall (see Vol. II, p. 110).
