Notes

Micah 4:6–7

In the ancient Near East, the survivors of destroyed cities were usually scattered or absorbed into other peoples. But when God rescued Israel’s remnant, those survivors became the beginning of the Lord’s renewed people (Deuteronomy 4:26–31; 30:1–5; 2 Kings 19:31; Isaiah 10:21; Jeremiah 29:10–14; see Ezra 9:8; Nehemiah 1:2).

Micah 3:1–5:15

This message accuses the evil leaders who harmed God's people. It contrasts them with a vision of God's kingdom and a righteous king's rule. After facing judgment and exile, a purified Israel would return and receive God's blessings.
