MICAH – LESSON 4

CHAPTER 4- PART 2

Yesterday we saw in Micah 4:1-3 the future establishment of the millennial kingdom. Verses 4-7 continue that theme of peace (vs. 4) and worship (vs. 5). Verses 6 and 7 affirm the gathering (vs. 6) of the afflicted (Israel) remnant to Mount Zion (Jerusalem) where the LORD (vs. 7) shall reign over them forever in the (vs. 8) first kingdom dominion (our present age).

Verse 8 is a truly remarkable prophecy regarding that first dominion, namely the dominion of Christ from the cross, resurrection, ascension, up to this present day. It speaks of the daughter of Jerusalem, through whom shall come the first dominion, namely the birth of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God who Himself spoke this world into being. Through His death and resurrection, the kingdom of heaven is established on earth through Him, in the first dominion, as the Father gave Him all power in earth and heaven (all the heavenlies).

Jesus had preached that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” because He brought it. 

However, the most remarkable thing about verse 4:8 is that it prophesied the exact location of the birth of Jesus. Micah 5:1 prophesied His city of birth, Bethlehem, but Micah 4:8 was even more specific in naming the exact location in (or near) Bethlehem of the manger where he was laid immediately upon his birth. It was at the (vs. 8) “tower of the flock; which in the original Hebrew reads “Migdal Eder.”

What is the “Migdal Eder”? It was the sheepfold on the outskirts of Bethlehem where the sacrificial lambs for the temple in Jerusalem were kept. Jesus, being our sacrificial Lamb of God (John 1:29), and the Great Shepherd, was born in the exact sheepfold where all sacrificial lambs were kept from their birth. In that Migdal Eder was a specially sanctified manger where a newborn lamb was lain for his first day. The lamb would be wrapped in special cloth reserved only for the birthing event. This cloth was called “swaddling clothes.”

When the angels announced Jesus’ birth to the shepherds saying he would be found lying in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes, they immediately knew where to go and who it was that was born there.

Micah 4:8 was an astoundingly accurate prophecy made over seven hundred years before Jesus’ birth, even right down to the exact location of the manger at the Migdal Eder.

A REPENTANT NATURE

Holy Spirit draws men unto God. He convicts them of sin causing them to seek salvation. The new birth changes a person into a new creature where God makes his residence in your spirit. He speaks to us Spirit to spirit.

When we sin Holy Spirit once again convicts us. He does not condemn us but brings conviction to cause us to repent. Repentance means a change of heart, mind, and will. It is the desire to do what is right by admitting our sin and asking for forgiveness.

Because we have an adversary that seeks whom he may devour, we must constantly be aware of sin and keep a repentant nature. We should always want to walk in holiness, which comes from God and a repentant heart.

Without repenting our hearts become calloused and we become dull of hearing God’s voice. We are like the sheep that wanders off and the shepherd must come find us and bring us back into the flock.

We must daily ask God to show us if there is any sin in our lives. Often, he causes us to look to scripture, which is a mirror that reflects truth. When we see that we have erred from the path of righteous living, we get things right through repentance. 

Repentance is a lifetime way of living. It is a lifestyle. It keeps us right with God. If you have not repented, your life will eventually be miserable, and you may become bitter and judgmental. It is better to keep your heart right daily than neglect being a repentant person.

Yes, we may fall into the traps that Satan sets, but God always makes a way out with a truly repentant heart. David wrote in Psalm 51:10, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” David did not play the blame game like his predecessor King Saul. David repented from his sin and is an example for all of us. He was called a “man after God’s own heart.” (Acts 13:22) Let us also be likeminded.

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

For this is the hour to rise up and be all that I have called you to be. You have held back, and thought you were not prepared, but I would say that you are ready for the hour is at hand for the remnant to rise up. Do not think that you are going forth in your own strength, for I will be with you. I am opening doors that no man shut and have already shut doors that no man can open. As you go forth do not look to the left or right to see what others are doing, for the assignment I have for you is your assignment  I have made you as unique and precious a person that is alive. I will guide you as you go forth. Yes, there are times that you will fill inadequate, but I will be there with you in those moments. Those are the times to come aside and be refreshed in my presence. Those are the times to trust me more than your circumstances. For there is much coming on the horizon that will bring much chaos to your land, and you will shine in that darkness. Do not fear! I have prepared the way. I will work through you, and you shall do great exploits as you yield to my leading. Yes, there will be very hard times, but did I not take care of my prophets and saints of old when they trusted me? Did I not provide in the wilderness where neither shoe wore out or foot grew? I shall certainly bring miracles through you in this hour for you are my child and a father always provides for his children. I would say tighten your armor as you go forth for there may be some places that are not as secure as others. Make adjustments as needed and you will be safe. For my child, you were chosen for such a time as this. There is no need to reach out the scepter, for my son has secured the way into the throne room. Come, ask, and receive all that you need in this hour. For I am your provider. Do not look to man for your provision. I work through mankind, but it is I that provides. Have I not said that I would provide all your needs? Yes, there will be valleys and there will be mountaintops ahead, but I will be with you as you trust me saith the Lord. So, rise up, and go forth and know that I am here saith the Lord.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Have you ever heard folks say...”Careful now and don’t rock the boat”. Well my take on that subject is simply...You just go ahead and rock that boat; And whoever or whatever falls out was obviously not meant to be in your boat of life anyway. I believe if someone is standing with you and they really care about you; Then surely they can go through a little turbulence and still stay by your side...IN THE BOAT. However, when the wrong folks or the wrong things do get OUT of the boat; You will soon experience genuine growth and you’ll see your joy and your peace return. It’s a fact, sometimes on your life’s voyage...You just need to lighten the load and move on. Then once again you’ll start to notice the blessings of God moving in you, for you and through you; And then...On out to others. Blessings!

  What Should I wear? HCC 

              What should I wear when I meet Jesus? 

                   I guess it doesn’t matter. He will clothe me in white. 

                   It will be beautiful, as I walk in his light. 

                   I know I will have a smile on my face, 

                   Meeting the Savior, my dream to see his face. 

                   All of us together, the saints now, all in white. 

                   We are Clothed in all Christ righteousness, 

                   The best to wear, the love of Christ. 

                   I’ll walk in glory; I’ll see his throne. 

                   The golden streets, pearled gates I’m told. 

                   Oh, to be with Jesus, and the promise of his love. 

                   Cover me dear Savior. Clothe me with your love.
