Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Micah 4

Mic 4:1—(2) The future kingdom of Messiah: (a) the kingdom to be supreme.

Mic 4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

the mountain

General predictions concerning the kingdom. In Scripture a mountain is the symbol of a great earth power (Dan 2:35); hills, of smaller power. The prediction asserts

  1. the ultimate establishment of the kingdom, with Jerusalem for the capital (Mic 4:1);
  2. the universality of the future kingdom (Mic 4:2);
  3. its character—peace (Mic 4:3);
  4. its effect—prosperity (Mic 4:4) Cf. Isa 2:1-5; 11:1-12.
