It is a common prophetic expression indicating a specific period when God will act decisively. In the context of Micah, it points to a time when God will purify and restore His people, often associated with the Messianic age or the Day of the Lord.<p><b>declares the LORD,</b><br>This emphasizes the authority and certainty of the message. The use of "declares the LORD" underscores that the prophecy is not from the prophet's own imagination but is a direct revelation from God. It assures the audience of the truth and reliability of the forthcoming actions.<p><b>I will remove your horses from among you</b><br>Horses were symbols of military power and strength in ancient times. By stating that He will remove the horses, God is indicating a dismantling of military reliance and self-sufficiency. This reflects a call to trust in God rather than in military might, echoing sentiments found in Psalms 20:7, which contrasts trust in chariots and horses with trust in the name of the Lord.<p><b>and wreck your chariots.</b><br>Chariots, like horses, were key components of ancient warfare, representing human power and security. The destruction of chariots signifies the removal of reliance on human strength and military technology. This act is symbolic of God's desire for His people to depend solely on Him for protection and deliverance. It also connects to the broader biblical theme of God opposing the proud and self-reliant, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/31.htm">Isaiah 31:1</a>, where reliance on Egypt's chariots is condemned.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/micah.htm">Micah</a></b><br>A prophet in the 8th century BC, Micah delivered messages of judgment and hope to the people of Judah and Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah_and_israel.htm">Judah and Israel</a></b><br>The divided kingdoms of God's chosen people, often straying from God's commands and facing consequences.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks through His prophets to guide, correct, and promise restoration.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/horses_and_chariots.htm">Horses and Chariots</a></b><br>Symbols of military power and human reliance on strength rather than on God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/in_that_day.htm">In that day</a></b><br>A prophetic phrase indicating a future time of divine intervention and transformation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/reliance_on_god_over_human_strength.htm">Reliance on God Over Human Strength</a></b><br>The removal of horses and chariots signifies a call to trust in God's power rather than human military strength.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_intervention_and_transformation.htm">Divine Intervention and Transformation</a></b><br>"In that day" points to a future time when God will act decisively to change the status quo, encouraging believers to anticipate God's transformative work.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/j/judgment_and_restoration.htm">Judgment and Restoration</a></b><br>God's actions in removing military might are both a judgment against misplaced trust and a step towards spiritual restoration.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_warfare.htm">Spiritual Warfare</a></b><br>Believers are reminded that true victory comes through spiritual means, not physical force, aligning with <a href="/ephesians/6-10.htm">Ephesians 6:10-18</a>.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/peace_through_god's_sovereignty.htm">Peace Through God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>The ultimate peace and security come from God's sovereignty, not from human efforts or alliances.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_micah_5.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Micah 5</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_faith's_foundation.htm">Should Christians avoid Worldcoin's World ID initiative?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_debate_timing_in_micah_4_10.htm">If Micah 4:10 implies Babylonian captivity, why is there debate among scholars about the historical timing and references to Assyria in nearby verses?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_zechariah's_and_revelation's_horses_align.htm">How can the vision of four horses (Zechariah 6:1-8) be harmonized with the four horsemen described in Revelation 6:1-8?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/2_kings_6_16-17__literal_or_symbolic.htm">2 Kings 6:16-17: Where is the evidence for invisible chariots of fire, and should we take this as literal or symbolic?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/micah/5.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">It shall come to pass in that day.</span>--The prophet now passes on to the purification of the Church from the defilements mentioned by Isaiah (<a href="/context/isaiah/2-3.htm" title="And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.">Isaiah 2:3-10</a>), with reference to the ultimate holiness which shall be established "in that day."<p><span class= "bld">I will cut off thy horses.</span>--The possession of horses was imperatively forbidden to the Jewish king (<a href="/deuteronomy/17-16.htm" title="But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: for as much as the LORD has said to you, You shall from now on return no more that way.">Deuteronomy 17:16</a>), and Isaiah describes the land as at this time "full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots."
