Micah 4:6-7

      her . . . driven out—all Israel's outcasts. Called "the Lord's flock" (Jer 13:17; Eze 34:13; 37:21).

     7. I will make her that halted a remnant—I will cause a remnant to remain which shall not perish.

      Lord shall reign . . . in . . . Zion—David's kingdom shall be restored in the person of Messiah, who is the seed of David and at the same time Jehovah (Isa 24:23).

      for ever— (Isa 9:6, 7; Da 7:14, 27; Lu 1:33; Re 11:15).
