Micah 5 Commentary

The ruler of Israel was encouraged to gather troops for military action. It would be in vain and he will be humiliated by his enemies.

Micah followed the message of Israel’s judgment and doom with a description of a future Messiah-King who will conquer all His enemies.

Micah now turns to a discussion of the remnant in the last days.

The LORD promised to purify Israel from its dependence on military power as well as its dependence on pagan worship. Also, the nations that remain disobedient to Him will be the objects of His wrath.
