‏ Micah 5:7

The Increase of the Church; Encouraging Predictions

This section speaks about the future blessings for the remnant of God's people, called the "remnant of Jacob." Even though they are only a small group compared to the rest of the world, they are special because they belong to God. The passage promises that this remnant will have a powerful and positive influence among the nations. It also says that God will remove the things they wrongly trusted in, like idols and fortune-tellers, so that they will depend only on Him. Finally, it warns that those who reject God and continue in evil will face His judgment.

v. 7: The remnant of Jacob will be like dew from the LORD among many nations. Just as dew comes quietly and refreshes the grass, God's people will be a blessing wherever they are scattered. They will be pure, gentle, and bring life to others. Their influence will not depend on human power, but on God's grace. Their words and actions will help others grow, just as dew helps grass grow (Deuteronomy 32:2; Psalm 72:6 a).
