Micah 5:5
_ _ this man — in Hebrew simply “This.” The One just mentioned; He and He alone. Emphatical for Messiah (compare Genesis 5:29).
_ _ the peace — the fountainhead of peace between God and man, between Israel and Israel’s justly offended God (Genesis 49:10; Isaiah 9:6; Ephesians 2:14, Ephesians 2:17; Colossians 1:20), and, as the consequence, the fountain of “peace on earth,” where heretofore all is strife (Micah 4:3; Hosea 2:18; Zechariah 9:10; Luke 2:14).
_ _ the Assyrian — Being Israel’s most powerful foe at that time, Assyria is made the representative of all the foes of Israel in all ages, who shall receive their final destruction at Messiah’s appearing (Ezekiel 38:1-23).
_ _ seven shepherds, and eight — “Seven” expresses perfection; “seven and eight” is an idiom for a full and sufficient number (Job 5:19; Proverbs 6:16; Ecclesiastes 11:2).
_ _ principal men — literally, “anointed (humble) men” (Psalms 62:9), such as the apostles were. Their anointing, or consecration and qualification to office, was by the Holy Spirit [Calvin] (1 John 2:20, 1 John 2:27). “Princes” also were anointed, and they are mentioned as under Messiah (Isaiah 32:1). English Version therefore gives the probable sense. |
Micah 5:5
This man — The Messiah. The peace — Which is promised to the people of God; all their deliverances are not only for his sake, but effected by his power. Shall tread in our palaces — Which Sennacherib did in all the cities of Judah, except Jerusalem. We — Hezekiah, and with him the prophets and people, shall prevail with God to send deliverance. Seven shepherds — A certain number put for an uncertain. |
Micah 5:5
And this [man] (f) shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
(f) This Messiah will be a sufficient safeguard for us, and though the enemy invades us for a time, yet will God stir up many who will be able to deliver us. |
