Miqueas 4:12

12 Pero ellas no saben lo que piensa el SEÑOR,ni comprenden sus designios;no saben que él las juntacomo a gavillas en la era.

Miqueas 4:12 Meaning and Commentary

Micah 4:12

But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand
they his counsel
Which are very different from theirs: the thoughts and designs of the enemies of Zion, in the times of the Maccabees, were, to destroy utterly the people of God, and root them out of the earth, and abolish their religion and worship; but the intentions of God were to defeat them, and bring them to ruin: the views of the kings of the earth, being stirred up by unclean spirits to the battle of Almighty God, will be to extirpate the interest and kingdom of Christ; but the end of the Lord, in suffering them to be gathered together, will be utterly and totally to destroy them; and the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand, and the thoughts of his heart, to all generations. Men know their own designs, but they do not know the designs of the Lord; they intend the ruin of others, but God intends to bring about theirs; and his intentions are never frustrated, but theirs are; for he shall gather them as sheaves into the floor;
as, when the harvest is ripe, it is cut down, and bound up in sheaves, and brought home, and these are laid in order upon the floor to be threshed; so, when the nations of the earth are fully ripe for ruin, God will put, or order to be put; in the sickle, and cut them down, and bind them in bundles, and lay them on his threshingfloor of wrath and vengeance, and utterly destroy them contrary to their views and expectations.

Miqueas 4:12 In-Context

10 Retuércete y puja, hija de Sión,como mujer a punto de dar a luz,porque ahora vas a salir de tu ciudad,y tendrás que vivir a campo abierto.Irás a Babilonia, pero de allí serás rescatada;el SEÑOR te librará del poder de tus enemigos.

11 Ahora muchas naciones se han reunido contra ti.Y dicen: «¡Que sea profanada Sión!¡Disfrutemos del espectáculo!»

12 Pero ellas no saben lo que piensa el SEÑOR,ni comprenden sus designios;no saben que él las juntacomo a gavillas en la era.

13 ¡Levántate, hija de Sión!¡Ponte a trillar!Yo haré de hierro tus cuernosy de bronce tus pezuñas,para que conviertas en polvo a muchos pueblos,y consagres al SEÑOR sus ganancias injustas;sus riquezas, al Señor de toda la tierra.
