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 people of Jacob who are left alive will be to other people like dew from the Lord or rain on the grass -- it does not wait for human beings; it does not pause for any person.
8 Those of Jacob's people who are left alive will be scattered among many nations and peoples. They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion in a flock of sheep: As it goes, it jumps on them and tears them to pieces, and no one can save them.
9 So you will raise your fist in victory over your enemies, and all your enemies will be destroyed.
10 The Lord says, "At that time, I will take your horses from you and destroy your chariots.
11 I will destroy the cities in your country and tear down all your defenses.
