Micah
Chapter 5
1a
Now gather yourself in troops,
O
daughter of troops.
1b He has laid siege against us.
{1st
Advent of Christ Prophecy}
1c~~They
shall smite the judge of Israel
{Jesus - See John 18.22 for fulfillment}
with
a rod upon the cheek.
{Prophesy
of the Messiah coming from Bethlehem&ldots; and this was God's plan
in eternity past}
2~~
But you, Bethlehem Ephratah,
though
you be to small to be among the clans of Judah,
yet
from you
One
shall go forth from Me
to
be ruler of Israel . . .
Whose
appearance is from long ago . . .
from
the days of eternity {past}.
{Note. RBT says this last part here is a Hebrew idiom meaning the Messiah Who comes IS God. Always has been God and always will be God.}
{Prophesy
of the 2nd Advent}
3
Therefore He will give them up,
until
the time that
she
who travails/'is in child birth'
has
brought forth.
Then
the remnant of his brethren
shall
return unto the children of Israel.
{Note: With the mystery of the Church Age revealed, this tells us this is now the 2nd Advent of Christ. See Revelation for more on the Israel being the pregnant woman who is in pain but never delivers (because they have rejected the Child already born (1st Advent of Christ).}
4
And he shall stand and feed in the strength of Jehovah/God,
in
the majesty of the Name of Jehovah/God his 'Elohiym/Godhead
and
they shall abide.
For now He shall be great . . . unto the ends of the earth.
5
And this . . . {man} . . . shall be the peace,
when
the Assyrian shall come into our land
and
when He shall tread in our palaces,
then
shall we raise against him seven shepherds,
and
eight principal men.
6
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword,
and
the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof.
Thus
shall he deliver us from the Assyrian,
when
he comes into our land,
and
when he treads within our borders.
7
And the remnant of Jacob
shall
be in the middle of many people . . .
as
a dew from Jehovah/God,
as
the showers upon the grass,
that
delays/tarries not for man,
nor
waits for the sons of men.
8
And the remnant of Jacob
shall
be among the Gentiles in the middle of many people
as
a lion among the animals/beasts of the forest,
as
a young lion among the flocks of sheep . . .
who,
if he go through, both treads down,
and
tears in pieces,
and
none can deliver.
9
Your hand shall be lifted up upon Your adversaries,
and
all Your enemies shall be cut off.
10
"And it shall come to pass in that day",
said
Jehovah/God,
"that
I will cut off your horses out of the middle of you,
and
I will destroy your chariots. 11
And
I will cut off the cities of your land,
and
throw down all your strong holds. 12
And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand.
And you shall have no more soothsayers. 13
Your
graven images also will I cut off,
and
your standing images out of the middle of you.
And you shall no more worship the work of your hands. 14
And I will pluck up your groves out of the middle of you.
So will I destroy your cities. 15
And
I will execute vengeance in anger
and
fury upon the heathen,
such
as they have not heard."
