Micah 4:1-4
CHAPTER 4
Mi 4:1-13. Transition to the Glory, Peace, Kingdom, and Victory of Zion.
1-3. Almost identical with Is 2:2-4. the mountain of the house of the Lord--which just before (Mi 3:12) had been doomed to be a wild forest height. Under Messiah, its elevation is to be not that of situation, but of moral dignity, as the seat of God's universal empire. people shall flow into it--In Isaiah it is "all nations": a more universal prophecy. 4. sit every man under his vine, &c.--that is, enjoy the most prosperous tranquillity (1Ki 4:25; Zec 3:10). The "vine" and "fig tree" are mentioned rather than a house, to signify, there will be no need of a covert; men will be safe even in the fields and open air. Lord of hosts hath spoken it--Therefore it must come to pass, however unlikely now it may seem.
