1177. 'He was a mighty man in the land' means that this kind of religion in the Church became more prevalent. This becomes clear from what follows next. The fact that 'the land' is the Church has been shown already in 620, 636, 662, and elsewhere.

Micah 7:2-3

Study

      

2 The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.

3 Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
