The Hebrew root "עָשָׂה" (asah) implies an active creation or making. It reflects God's sovereign power to change circumstances and destinies. In the biblical narrative, God often takes what is broken or weak and transforms it for His purposes, emphasizing His ability to bring about change and renewal.<p><b>the lame</b><br />The term "lame" refers to those who are physically or metaphorically impaired. In the Hebrew context, "צֹלֵעַ" (tsola) can denote those who are marginalized or disadvantaged. This imagery is powerful, as it highlights God's compassion and His intention to uplift those who are often overlooked by society. It echoes the broader biblical theme of God’s preference for the humble and the weak.<p><b>a remnant</b><br />The concept of a "remnant" is significant in biblical theology. The Hebrew word "שְׁאֵרִית" (she'erit) refers to a small, surviving group that God preserves for His purposes. This remnant is often seen as a faithful core that remains true to God amidst widespread unfaithfulness. It underscores the idea of hope and continuity, even in times of judgment or calamity.<p><b>and the outcast</b><br />"Outcast" refers to those who have been rejected or exiled. The Hebrew "נִדָּח" (nidach) suggests a state of being driven away or scattered. This phrase highlights God's inclusive love and His desire to gather and restore those who have been alienated. It reflects the biblical narrative of redemption and reconciliation.<p><b>a strong nation</b><br />The transformation into "a strong nation" signifies empowerment and establishment. The Hebrew "גּוֹי עָצוּם" (goy atzum) conveys the idea of a powerful and influential people. This transformation is not just physical but spiritual, indicating a community that is fortified by God's presence and purpose.<p><b>The LORD will reign</b><br />This phrase asserts God's ultimate authority and kingship. The Hebrew "יְהוָה יִמְלֹךְ" (YHWH yimlokh) emphasizes the divine rule that is both present and eternal. It is a declaration of God's sovereignty and His rightful place as the ruler over His people, providing assurance and stability.<p><b>over them in Mount Zion</b><br />Mount Zion is a significant biblical location, symbolizing God's dwelling place and the center of His kingdom. The mention of "בְּהַר צִיּוֹן" (behar Tziyon) evokes images of divine presence and worship. It is a place of gathering, where God’s people come together under His reign, representing unity and divine fellowship.<p><b>from that day and forever</b><br />This phrase speaks to the eternal nature of God's reign. The Hebrew "מֵעַתָּה וְעַד עוֹלָם" (me'atah ve'ad olam) indicates a perpetual and unending rule. It reassures believers of the constancy and faithfulness of God’s promises, offering hope and security in His everlasting kingdom.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/micah/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will make her that halted a remnant.</span> The" remnant" is "the election," that portion of Israel which accepts the offered redemption (<a href="/romans/9-27.htm">Romans 9:27</a>; <a href="/romans/11-5.htm">Romans 11:5</a>); and God declares that he will treat this section, now miserable and depressed, as sharers in the Messianic promises (see note on Zephaniah 3:19).
