Micah Chapter 4, The Woman of Revelation 12
I’m not sure how many sermons I have listen to which had a text from Micah 4 included in the messages accordingly, especially verses 1 & 2, but I can tell you, in all those messages, the preachers made this text out to be Millennial in its time setting.
“And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the house of YHWH
Will be established as the chief of the mountains.
It will be raised above the hills,
And the peoples will stream to it.2 Many nations will come and say,
“Come and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH
And to the house of the God of Jacob,
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For from Zion will go forth the law,
Even the word of YHWH from Jerusalem.” Micah 1:1–2
I’m here to tell you, this text most certainly is not millennial. This text refers to the now established government of America, held captive by the end time entity of Babylon called THE UNITED STATES. It is the land of YHWH (see Ezekiel 38:16) and THE UNITED STATES government (mountain) was hijacked from the government established by YHWH Himself through the founding fathers called, The united States of America. Once more, the law that went forth is Covenant Law arranged in the Constitution of The united States of America (The Law of YHWH).
If you doubt this interpretation, bear with me and let’s continue on in the chapter and weigh the evidence for yourself.
3“And He will judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, distant nations.
Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they train for war.” Micah 4:3
This statement alone shows its Millennial time setting, right?
Wrong…..In ancient times, nations and empires which coveted lands of other nations would go up to war against those nations to conquer those nations and take their land as their own. Today, this is not the methodology by which nations seize control of land…….It is all done by economic means, now.
Yes, there are wars today, but upon a careful study of these wars, there is only one source of those wars…..THE UNITED STATES. The text says, distance nations, plural, as in more than one. Nations have learned the only way to accomplish their missions, whatever those missions are, is to get on board economically and win trade wars over THE UNITED STATES, because no nation alive today will win a war militarily.
The statement, “Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks” is an economic statement. The economics of food and material goods.
4”Each of them will sit under his vine
And under his fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid,
For the mouth of YHWH of hosts has spoken.” Micah 4:4
Men and women from India, Africa, China, South America, etc, have no fear that some rogue nation will come to their land in an attack of military might to take their land. Defenses are so well built, today, that simply isn’t happening.
5 Though all the peoples walk
Each in the name of his god,
As for us, we will walk
In the name of YHWH our God forever and ever.” Micah 4:5
And verse 5 is the kicker. Do you really think, in the Millennium, YHWH will allow all the peoples to walk each one in the name of his own god, as in the rebellion of the last six thousand years since the fall of Adam?…..No way.
The time setting of Micah 4:1–5 is clearly, right now. Not in the future as The Churches have all taught us.
“IN THAT DAY”……An End Time Setting, Day of YHWH Statement.
6 “In that day,” declares YHWH
“I will assemble the lame
And gather the outcasts,
Even those whom I have afflicted. Micah 4:6
This is exactly what has occurred in America over the past 400 years. The outcast of first European nations like England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Sweden, etc, found The New World a land of freedom to run to, running from religious oppression and tyranny. Later, that freedom turned into false god worship from religions such as Islam, Hinduism, and yes, even Catholicism, which is no more Christian than a man in the moon.
7 “I will make the lame a remnant
And the outcasts a strong nation,
And YHWH will reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on and forever. Micah 4:7
This passage cries out…..”Go read 2Samuel 7:10", speaking solely of The True Promised Land, America……
“I will also appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, nor will the wicked afflict them any more as formerly” 2Samuel 7:10
The words, “and not be disturbed again,” means exactly what it says…..Not speaking of Middle Eastern Israel, of which the people of King David has moved from, no less than three times. The true nation of Israel is currently residing in the True Promised Land of Deuteronomy chapter 8 and will not be moved from this place forever.
The Woman of Revelation 12
In my studies concerning The Woman of Revelation 12, it is very clear, There are three layers of typology at work.
- The Woman is a single entity….a literal woman
- The Woman is a body of Believers, who have vast knowledge of two subject denoted by the sun, moon and stars….The Calendar of YHWH and Who Israel truly is.
- The Woman is the true nation of Israel….Daughter of Zion to be established in perfection during the Millennial Reign of YHWH.
Other characteristics of the woman have to be considered as well.
- She is very much flawed.
- She is an adulteress.
- She is cunning.
- She is full of knowledge.
- She is staunch in detail, learned from past mistakes.
- She is a bitter messenger.
- She is the ultimate adviser.
These qualities, make her the most valuable entity to the leadership of YHWH coming government known to man. She has an understanding of Israel’s short comings and can relate to Israel, in a way that allows her to advise the leadership of Israel the proper way to govern moving forward, with wisdom and knowledge. Thus, out of obscurity and outcast comes forth “The Tower of The Flock”…..The Woman of Revelation 12.
8 “As for you, tower of the flock,
Hill of the daughter of Zion,
To you it will come —
Even the former dominion will come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. Micah 4:89 “Now, why do you cry out loudly?
Is there no king among you,
Or has your counselor perished,
That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?
Waiting on the Kingdom to be established is very much like waiting on child birth. A text from Isaiah 66 comes to mind here.
“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; Before her pain came, She delivered a male child. 8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children. 9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord. “Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says YHWH “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;10 Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her; 11 That you may feed and be satisfied With the consolation of her bosom, That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.” Isaiah 66:7–11
The birth comes forth before the pain of child birth. If you follow what I have taught on the subject, you would know, I have taught since before the event, September 23, 2017 was the event of the child birth of Revelation 12:1–2. And, once more, I have since before that event taught the tie between this birth and Isaiah chapters 7,8,9 and 10, denoting the period we are about to enter, right now……A time when Israel has no true King (when they remove Trump from office) and because of the vacuum of power and a fallen economy, our nation sit prime for an ancient invasion from Gog of The Land of Magog, aka, the King of Assyria.
Thus all three layers of The Woman is gripped with the agony of childbirth. (see carefully Micah 4:9–10)
10“Writhe and labor to give birth,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will go out of the city,
Dwell in the field,
And go to Babylon.
There you will be rescued;
There YHWH will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
At least one of the three layers goes from obscurity, being an outcast, to being brought into The Government of Babylon (THE UNITED STATES), much like Daniel was taken from his people to be the light to The King of Babylon.
Now, I do not pretend to know the detail of all that will happen to make this verse 10 a reality. However, you yourself need to be watching and when it happens, you will know it.
That said, pay very careful attention to what I am about to write concerning one word in this text. The word translated “Dwell” in Micah 4:10 in the Hebrew denotes a place of temporary dwelling, but is rooted in two words. One word lends the meaning of folly or fun. The other roots to “between the shoulders”. If you have eyes to see and know how scriptural understanding comes, putting the pieces of the puzzle together, you would know it is Benjamin who was to dwell between the shoulders (see Deuteronomy 33:12 and the end time blessings of Moses upon all the tribes of Israel) and you would know Benjamin is a typology of The Woman of Revelation 12.
Now, with that information, lets consider this word from the LXX Greek perspective.
The word also means a tent or temporary dwelling, as in when one observes the Feast of Tabernacles, right after observing The Feast of Trumpets. Key word Trumpets, as we shall soon see. However, allow me first to further define this Greek word translated “dwell”. The root definition goes down to two words, once again.
The first root word is the Greek word “kata” which is simply a down sitting or placement, as in, one given a position or office.
The other is quite revealing to the nature of what exactly is going on here with this entity we call The Woman of Revelation 12. The root of that words runs through some very interesting definitions. Words like mansion as the description of the kind of temporary dwelling. A layer down from there is shadow or typology fulfillment, of which we as True Believers seek to know and understand to the nines. And a lyaer down from there brings us to these words……
a wife as contributing to the usefulness of the husband
Now, again, if you have eyes to see, you will know the implications of this find, especially when reading, not only the context of Micah 4 but the context of Micah in general.
It is at that time, the time when the Woman of Revelation 12 is brought into the government of THE UNITED STATES (Babylon) that YHWH will bring the Attack upon our land (America) described in Isaiah 7, 8, 9 & 10 and in Jeremiah 5, 6, & 7 and in Ezekiel 38……Very bad times ahead. Notice the next text from Micah 4
11 “And now many nations have been assembled against you
Who say, ‘Let her be polluted,
And let our eyes gloat over Zion.’12 “But they do not know the thoughts of YHWH,
And they do not understand His purpose;
For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor. Micah 4:11–12
The process and will of YHWH is three fold.
- He desires to punish the nation and people of end time Israel for turning their backs on YHWH and His Covenant Law.
- He desires to bring an end to end time Babylon (Babylon is fallen, is fallen, Revelation 14:2 & 18:2, Jeremiah 50:2).
- He desires to plug in His trained entity, The Woman of Revelation 12 to set straight and properly advise the leadership of Israel.
YHWH will place Her in that position, at the time appointed, after The Feast of Trumpets (See Jeremiah 6:1), at The Feast of Booths, or Temporary Dwellings or Tabernacles, before The Death Angel Passes Over our nation this Midnight (December, 2020).
13 “Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion,
For your horn I will make iron
And your hoofs I will make bronze,
That you may pulverize many peoples,
That you may devote to YHWH their unjust gain
And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth. Micah 4:13
The chapter ends, by confirming this point. The Daughter of Zion (The Woman of Revelation 12) is risen up in power, in the government of Babylon (a mixture of Rome and Greece, Iron and Brass) for the express purpose of aiding the two witnesses against the evil King of Babylon who will soon take power in this nation, but not without a fight from a very austere entity called The Woman of Revelation 12.
May YHWH bless you in your studies of His word…
