Notes

Micah 7:11–12

That day includes:

538 BC, when Israel began to return from exile in Babylon (see Ezra 1–2); and
the final restoration of God's people (see Amos 9:11–15).

As the nations come to a renewed Israel, God will fulfill his purposes through Abraham (see Genesis 12:3).

Micah 7:1–20

Hopeless deception and corruption filled God’s people (Micah 7:1–6). Because of this, Micah mourned their condition and turned to the Lord for help (Micah 7:7–10).

Even so, God’s mercy would triumph. Israel would be restored by the Lord (Micah 7:11–13). God’s mercy, compassion, and unfailing love would prevail in the end (Micah 7:14–20).
