Please open your bibles with me to Micah 4:1.
One commentary points out that Micah 4:1-7, which we quickly read last week, promises the restoration of Jerusalem, while Micah 4:8-5:15 explains how it is accomplished.
We are taking the 30,000 foot vantage point as our view for today.
Our goal is to hear what the Lord has for our hearts and make appropriate application of His word.
While we touched on the passage of 4:1-7 last week, we will begin there today.
The main idea of this section, which begins earlier in chapter 3, and continues out through the end of chapter 5, is that God will restore what is His.
Before we get started with 4:1, however, we need to know that in this passage, we are seeing the “Already and not yet” of the Last Days.
In talking about the end times, we must understand that the matter has already been settled, but not yet accomplished.
It has already been determined, but not yet brought to fruition.
Several OT prophets spoke of the Last Days, including, but not limited to, Jeremiah, Hosea, Ezekiel, Daniel and, of course, Micah.
In a technical sense, we have been living in the last days, since Christ ascended to be with the Father.
Broadly speaking, however, many of the things Micah foretold have not yet happened, and so we wait, but not as those with their heads buried in the sand.
We must be aware of what’s coming as the truth of these past promises of future glory ought to lead us to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
In our study together, we will see that Micah jumps ahead to the end to remind Israel of her promised rescue.
There is another judgement passage coming before the end of the book, but before we get there, Micah announces the promises of restoration for all of Israel, then he shares how it will be accomplished.
We will move quickly through chapters 4-5, and if you’re taking notes, I’ll highlight key points along the way.
As chapter 4 opens, we see that with Judgement, comes the promise of peace.
Let’s look to the text this morning.
