Micah 4

Studie

   

1 But it shall be in the last days, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on the head of the mountains, and it shall be lifted·​·up from the hills; and peoples shall flow·​·together to it.

2 And many nations shall walk and say, Go, and let us go·​·up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will instruct us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths; for the law shall go·​·out from Zion, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

3 And He shall judge between many peoples, and reprove numerous nations afar·​·off; and they shall beat their swords into mattocks, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift a sword against nation, and they shall not learn war any·​·more.

4 But they shall sit, a man under his vine and under his fig·​·tree, and none shall frighten them; for the mouth of Jehovah of Armies has spoken it.

5 For all the people will walk each·​·man in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of Jehovah our god to eternity and forever.

6 In that day, says Jehovah, I will gather her who limps, and I will bring·​·together her who is expelled, and to whom I have done·​·evil.

7 And I will set her who limped to be left, and her who was driven beyond, for a numerous nation; and Jehovah shall reign over them in Mount Zion, from now and even·​·to eternity.

8 And thou, O tower of the drove*, the summit of the daughter of Zion, to thee shall it come; and the rule of the first shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

9 Now why dost thou shout with shouting? Is there no king in thee? Shall thy counselor perish? For thou art held·​·firm with travailing as a woman giving·​·birth.

10 Travail, and bring·​·out, O daughter of Zion, as a woman giving·​·birth; for now shalt thou go·​·out from the city, and thou shalt inhabit the field, and thou shalt come even to Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there Jehovah shall redeem thee from the palm of the hand of thine enemies.

11 And now many nations are gathered against thee, who say, Let her be·​·contaminated, and let our eyes behold against Zion.

12 But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they His counsel; for He shall bring· them ·together as the sheaves of the threshing·​·floor.

13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will set thy horn as iron, and I will set thy hoofs as bronze, and thou shalt make·​·thin many peoples; and I will devote their gain to Jehovah, and their belongings to the Lord of all the earth.

/ 101  
  

4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).

Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).

Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).

As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?

From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).

Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).

It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).

The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).

Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
