Micah 4:1-2: 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
2: And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Again Micah is a Messianic prophecy. Let me illusttrate.
Thou, Bethlehem...out of thee shall He come forth that is to be Ruler in Israel: whose goings forth have been... from Everlasting...He shall be great unto the Ends of the Earth. And This Man shall be our Peace.Micah 5:2-5.
We are told in the Gospels that Jesus fulfilled this Scripture.
Now lets look at your specific question.
Micah 4:1-2: 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.
2:And many nations shall come, and say, come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Jesus clearly established the real Israel of God---the Jewish Apostles and hundreds of thousands of Jewish believers who accepted Christ--
as the most important important nation in the world. They were the remnant of Israel that Paul talks about. These Jews were now called Christians and they established the new nation of Israel that God had prophecied when he said "I will call my people by another name." The Christian nation was the true Israel of God--the Kingdom of God---and is the little stone nation discussed by Daniel in Nebuchadnezzar dream.
When the Jewish Apostles and disciples went out into the pagan world preaching Jesus, all the natiions of the pagan world began coming to these Jewish Aposltes and disciples to hear and learn about the God of Jacob---Jesus Christ.
The Jewish Apostles and disciples the ways of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and thought them to walk in the path of Jesus and his Apostles.
All this has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for those with eyes to see. |
