Micah 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 5:9

Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries
O remnant of Jacob or Israel, as the Targum; the church of God; now will be the time that it shall prevail over all the antichristian states; now will the Christian princes pour out the vials of God's wrath upon them; and they shall feel the strength and weight of their hand; which will fall heavy upon them, even to their utter destruction: or thine hand, O Messiah, the ruler in Israel, the man the peace that shall deliver from the Assyrian; and who will be at the head of his church and people, the remnant of Jacob, and destroy their enemies with the sword that proceeds out of his mouth: and all thine enemies shall be cut off;
all the enemies of Christ and his church; all the kings of the earth that shall gather against them, the beast and false prophet, with all their followers; see ( Revelation 19:19 Revelation 19:20 ) .

Micah 5:9 In-Context

7 Then the remnant left in Israel will take their place among the nations. They will be like dew sent by the LORD or like rain falling on the grass, which no one can hold back and no one can restrain.
8 The remnant left in Israel will take their place among the nations. They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a strong young lion among flocks of sheep and goats, pouncing and tearing as they go with no rescuer in sight.
9 The people of Israel will stand up to their foes, and all their enemies will be wiped out.
10 “In that day,” says the LORD, “I will slaughter your horses and destroy your chariots.
11 I will tear down your walls and demolish your defenses.
