MIC 5:5-9

‘This One will be our peace’

 

Think of Assyria generally as enemies of God’s people. Assyria by this point has long been wiped out, but another power will replace them.

 

Israel will respond with force. More importantly, Jesus will be their peace in a time of turmoil (Micah 5:5) and he will deliver them (MIC 5:6).

 

There’s a long history of the Lord delivering His people from persecution, same as He will do near the end of this age.

 

PSA 29:1-11

(Lebanon, Kadesh)

 

JER 30:1-10

 

JUD 1:5

(oppressor was Egypt)

 

Remember that the Lord is the ultimate Deliverer of Israel.

 

NUM 24:17-19

 

ISA 63:1-4

 

EZE 38:17-23

 

After having been saved from their enemies, the remnant of Jacob will be a blessing to some (Micah 5:7) and a terror to others (MIC 5:8-9).

 

ZEC 12:1-9

 

ZEC 12:12-15

 

EZE 35:11-15

 

PSA 72:1-9

 

We as believers have peace with God even now through Jesus Christ.

 

ROM 5:1

 

EPH 2:13-18

 

COL 1:20

 

In previous weeks, we’ve discussed how Micah 5 points to Jesus Christ’s role as a Ruler, Shepherd, and now a Deliverer.

 

Because of that Deliverer that the believing Israelites in due time will enjoy peace. We who are alive now enjoy peace in Christ.

 

Believing Israel will face some conflicts in a time to come. The Lord will deliver them, and he delivers us from our momentary afflictions.
