Micah 5:10
_ _ cut off thy horses ... chariots — namely, those used for the purposes of war. Israel had been forbidden the use of cavalry, or to go to Egypt for horses (Deuteronomy 17:16), lest they should trust in worldly forces, rather than in God (Psalms 20:7). Solomon had disregarded this command (1 Kings 10:26, 1 Kings 10:28). Hereafter, saith God, I will remove these impediments to the free course of My grace: horses, chariots, etc., on which ye trust. The Church will never be safe, till she is stripped of all creature trusts, and rests on Jehovah alone [Calvin]. The universal peace given by God shall cause warlike instruments to be needless. He will cut them off from Israel (Zechariah 9:10); as she will cut them off from Babylon, the representative of the nations (Jeremiah 50:37; Jeremiah 51:21). |
Micah 5:10
I will cut off — Not in judgment, but in mercy, for there shall be no need of them, nor shall the church of God any more rely on them. Thy chariots — Chariots prepared for war. |
Micah 5:10
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy (k) horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
(k) I will destroy all things in which you put your confidence, such as your vain self-reliance and idolatry, and in doing this I will be helping you. |
- that I:
Psalms 20:7-8 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. ... They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
Psalms 33:16-17 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. ... An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength.
Jeremiah 3:23 Truly in vain [is salvation hoped for] from the hills, [and from] the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God [is] the salvation of Israel.
Hosea 1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Hosea 14:3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
Zechariah 9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea, and from the river [even] to the ends of the earth.
|
- will cut:
- This seems to refer to those happy times when the Jews shall be converted and restored to their own land, and all their enemies being destroyed, they shall have no further need of cavalry or fenced cities.
