Miqueas 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 4:5

For all people will walk everyone in the name of his god
Till those times come before described; when many nations and people shall flock to the church, and there shall be such general peace and tranquillity as here promised; till then the nations of the earth shall retain their former religion, and the profession of it, with constancy, till they are otherwise instructed, as Aben Ezra; or till the Messiah shall turn them into the right way, as Kimchi; till that time comes, the Pagans will worship their idols, and continue in the idolatry of their ancestors; the Papists will retain their image worship, and hold to their lord god the pope, as they call him; the Mahometans will cleave to their prophet, and walk according to the rules he has left them to observe. Jarchi's note is,

``they shall go to destruction because of their idolatry;''

with which he says the Targum agrees, which is,

``all nations shall go according to the idols they have worshipped;''

or, as the king of Spain's Bible,

``they shall be guilty or condemned because they have worshipped idols:''

and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever;
both in the mean while, and when those happy times shall come, and so through all generations as long as the world stands. This is the language of those that know the Lord, believe in him, and sincerely serve him; who determine in the strength of divine grace to continue in their profession of faith of him, in his worship and service, in his ways, truths, and ordinances, whatever others, do; and indeed are the more animated to it, when they observe how constant and steadfast idolaters, Pagans, Papists, and Mahometans, are in their false worship, both in the profession and practice of it. The Targum is,

``we will trust in the Word of the Lord our God for ever and ever;''

in Christ the essential Word; and so the phrase is expressive of faith, and a profession of faith in him; and of constant attendance upon his word and ordinances.

Miqueas 4:5 In-Context

3 Y juzgará entre muchos pueblos, y corregirá fuertes naciones hasta muy lejos; y martillarán sus espadas para azadones, y sus lanzas para hoces; no alzará espada gente contra gente, ni más se ensayarán para la guerra

4 Y cada uno se sentará debajo de su vid y debajo de su higuera, y no habrá quien amedrente; porque la boca del SEÑOR de los ejércitos habló

5 Aunque todos los pueblos anduvieren cada uno en el nombre de sus dioses, nosotros con todo andaremos en el nombre del SEÑOR nuestro Dios para siempre y eternalmente

6 En aquel día, dice el SEÑOR, juntaré la coja, y recogeré la amontada, y a la que afligí

7 y pondré a la coja para sucesión, y a la descarriada para nación robusta; y el SEÑOR reinará sobre ellos en el monte de Sion desde ahora y para siempre
