Notes

Micah 5:4–5

After the exile in Babylon, Prince Zerubbabel, a descendant of David, was among the returning exiles and became the focus of Israel's hopes (see Haggai 2:20–23). However, Israel needed a greater ruler than Zerubbabel. The leader from Bethlehem would bring peace; Isaiah called him the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Only Jesus fits this description.

Micah 5:1–15

This section urges Israel to prepare for the fierce attack by Assyria, Israel's enemy (Micah 5:5b–6). This terrifying siege will not destroy Israel, because God will provide a leader (Micah 5:2–5a) to guide the people back from exile. God will preserve and purify the remaining people (Micah 5:7–14), completing their restoration as God's victorious people.

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.
