MICAH 4:2, 5-7 (2026)

MICAH 4:2, 5-7

 

2 All the nations will stream to it, saying, “Come, let us go to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; so he may teach us his ways and we may walk in his paths. For the teaching comes from Zion, and from Jerusalem, the word of the Lord.” 5 While peoples walk, each in the name of his god, we shall walk in the name of the Lord, our God, forever and ever.

6 The Lord declares, “On that day, I will assemble the lame and gather the banished, those whom I have afflicted. 7 I will make the lame a remnant and those driven out a mighty nation. The Lord will reign over them on Zion from now and forever.

---- my own,

All that has been prophesied is coming to pass in your time and before your eyes. Do not be blind and deaf to the wonderful things that are happening even as you read and contemplate the prophecies of old. Those who left on foot are returning triumphantly, waving palms and olive branches and rejoicing. It is not the ephemeral rejoicing of the fickle crowd whose loud shouts of rejoicing and cries of welcome, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come!" which quickly changed to, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” No, not the treacherous crowd that was so easily swayed despite all the signs and wonders they had seen with their own eyes and who now shouted, and shouted for the release of Barabbas and not for the Son of David whom they had cheered just a few days ago. No. This is nothing like that. This is the return to unity of the lost sheep who are returning to the New Israel, the new Jerusalem, to Mount Zion, the City of God that is set high on the hill. She was born from the open wound on My Side, and she was baptized and anointed by the Blood and Water that cleansed her, washed her clean, and freed her from all her iniquities. You will see, and you will rejoice as will all people of goodwill when they witness the power of the Holy Spirit that brings enemies together. Those who blasphemed Me will return repentant, contrite, and humble, and acknowledge that there is no God like the Lord. There is no God like the Son of God, and there is no God like the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Love, and Truth, the One God - Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, and all God's people one in God.
