Micah
Chapter
4
1
But in the last days
{after the Tribulation - then the Millennial Reign of Christ -
THEN war will end but not before - before . . . 'there
will be war and rumors of war until I come . . . }
it
shall come to pass,
that
the mountain of the house of Jehovah/God
shall
be established in the top of the mountains,
and
it shall be exalted above the hills
and
people shall flow unto it.
2
And many nations shall come, and say,
'Come,
and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah/God,
and
to the house of the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Jacob
and
He will teach us of His Ways,
and
we will Walk in His Paths . . .
for
the law shall go forth of Zion,
and
the word/'doctrinal communication' {dabar} of Jehovah/God
from
Jerusalem.
3
And He shall judge among many people,
and
rebuke strong nations afar off;
and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and
their spears into pruning-hooks.
Nation
shall not lift up a sword against nation,
neither
shall they learn war any more.
4
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree.
And
no one shall make them afraid.
For
the mouth of Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts has spoken it.
5
For all people will Walk
every
one in the name of his 'elohiym/gods/Godhead
{believe this is the Godhead here??},
and
we will Walk in the name of Jehovah/God
our
'Elohiym/Godhead forever and ever.
6
"In that day",
said
Jehovah/God,
"I
will assemble her that halts,
and
I will gather her that is driven out,
and
her that I have afflicted. 7
And
I will make her who halted a remnant,
and
her who was cast far off a strong nation.
And
Jehovah/God shall reign over them in mount Zion
from
that time on . . .
even
forever. 8
And
you, O tower of the flock,
the
strong hold of the daughter of Zion,
unto
you shall it come,
even
the first dominion . . .
the
kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. 9
Now
why do you cry out aloud?
Is
there no king in you?
Is
your counselor perished?
For
pangs have taken you . . . as a woman in travail. 10
Be
in pain,
and
labor to bring forth,
O
daughter of Zion,
like
a woman in travail/'child birth' . . .
for
now shall you go forth out of the city,
and
you shall dwell in the field,
and
you shall go even to Babylon.
There
you shall be delivered.
There
Jehovah/God shall redeem you
from
the hand of your enemies. 11
Now
also many nations are gathered against you,
{at the end of the Tribulation}
that
say,
'Let
her be defiled,
and
let our eyes all look upon Zion.' 12
But
they know not the thoughts of Jehovah/God,
neither
do they understand His counsel . . .
for
He shall gather them . . . as the sheaves into the floor.
{Baptism of Fire - the sheaves (unbelievers) are removed, leaving
the wheat (believers) to go into the Millennium} 13
Arise
and thresh, O daughter of Zion.
For
I will make your horn . . . iron,
and
I will make your hoofs brass.
And
you shall beat in pieces many people.
And
I will consecrate their gain unto Jehovah/God,
and
their substance unto Jehovah/God of the whole earth."
