[Micah 4](/study/micah/4) [Micah 6](/study/micah/6) ## Commentary To verse 1 **Now** The "word of the Lord that came to Micah" [Micah 4:1](/kjv/micah/4/1) having described the future kingdom [Micah 4:1-8](/kjv/micah/4/1-8) and glanced at the Babylonian captivities [Micah 4:9-10](/kjv/micah/4/9-10) goes forward into the last days to refer to the great battle (see "Armageddon,") [Revelation 16:14](/kjv/revelation/16/14); [Revelation 16:14](/kjv/revelation/16/14) *(See Scofield "*[Revelation 16:14](/kjv/revelation/16/14)- :*")* which immediately precedes the setting up of the Messianic kingdom (see "Kingdom (O.T.)," [Genesis 1:26](/kjv/genesis/1/26) See Scofield "[Genesis 1:26](/kjv/genesis/1/26)- :" also, "Kingdom (N.T.), ; [Luke 1:31-33](/kjv/luke/1/31-33); [1 Corinthians 15:28](/kjv/1-corinthians/15/28). [Micah 5:1](/kjv/micah/5/1); [Micah 5:2](/kjv/micah/5/2) forms a parenthesis in which the "word of the Lord" goes back from the time of the great battle (yet future) to the birth and rejection of the King, Messiah-Christ [Matthew 27:24](/kjv/matthew/27/24); [Matthew 27:25](/kjv/matthew/27/25); [Matthew 27:37](/kjv/matthew/27/37). This is followed by the statement that He will "give them up until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth" ([Micah 5:3](/kjv/micah/5/3)). There is a twofold "travail" of Israel: (1) that which brings forth the "man child" (Christ) [Revelation 12:1](/kjv/revelation/12/1); [Revelation 12:2](/kjv/revelation/12/2) and (2) that which, in the last days, brings forth a believing "remnant" out of the still dispersed and unbelieving nation [Micah 5:3](/kjv/micah/5/3); [Jeremiah 30:6-14](/kjv/jeremiah/30/6-14); [Micah 4:10](/kjv/micah/4/10). Both aspects are combined in [Isaiah 66:0](/kjv/isaiah/66/0). In [Micah 5:7](/kjv/micah/5/7) we have the "man-child" (Christ) of [Revelation 12:1](/kjv/revelation/12/1); [Revelation 12:2](/kjv/revelation/12/2) in [Micah 5:8-24](/kjv/micah/5/8-24) the remnant, established in kingdom blessing. The meaning of [Micah 5:3](/kjv/micah/5/3) is that, from the rejection of Christ at His first coming Jehovah will give Israel up till the believing remnant appears; then He stands and feeds in His proper strength as Jehovah ([Micah 5:4](/kjv/micah/5/4)); He is the defence of His people as in [Micah 4:3](/kjv/micah/4/3); [Micah 4:11-13](/kjv/micah/4/11-13) and afterward the remnant go as missionaries to Israel and to all the world. ; [Micah 5:7](/kjv/micah/5/7); [Micah 5:8](/kjv/micah/5/8); [Zechariah 8:23](/kjv/zechariah/8/23). ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5","name":"Micah 5 - Study King James Bible with scofields reference notes","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Micah 5 with scofields reference notes commentary. 1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. 2 But","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes","name":"scofields reference notes"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah","name":"Micah"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/scofields-reference-notes/micah/5","name":"5"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
