Historically, walls were crucial for the protection and identity of a city. In the context of Micah, this prophecy likely refers to the period after the Babylonian exile when Jerusalem's walls were physically rebuilt under Nehemiah's leadership (<a href="/nehemiah/2-17.htm">Nehemiah 2:17-18</a>). Spiritually, it symbolizes God's promise to restore and protect His people. Theologically, it points to the ultimate restoration through Christ, who is the cornerstone of the spiritual temple (<a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20-22</a>).<p><b>the day for extending your boundary.</b><br>This phrase suggests an expansion of territory and influence. In the historical context, it could refer to the post-exilic period when the Jewish people returned to their land and sought to reestablish their national identity. Geographically, it implies a return to the land promised to Abraham (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). Prophetically, it can be seen as a type of the Kingdom of God expanding through the spread of the Gospel (<a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>). Culturally, it reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of marking and defending territorial boundaries, which was a sign of divine blessing and favor.<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.

Some interpret this prophecy to mean the removal of the law of separation between Jews and Gentiles; others explain it as predicting that the decree of God concerned not the Jews only, but distant nations who should press into the kingdom of God. And this explanation coincides with the effect of the decree, which was to bring to Jerusalem people from "the ends of the world."<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/micah/7.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - The prophet here addresses Zion, and announces her restoration. <span class="cmt_word">In the day that thy walls are to be built;</span> rather, <span class="accented">a day for building thy walls</span> (<span class="accented">gader</span>) <span class="accented">cometh</span>. Zion is represented as a vineyard whose fence has been destroyed (<a href="/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5, 7</a>). The announcement is given abruptly and concisely in three short sentences. In that day shall the decree be far removed. The decree (<a href="/zephaniah/2-2.htm">Zephaniah 2:2</a>) is explained by Hengstenberg and many commentators, ancient and modern, to he that of the enemy by which they held Israel captive. Keil and others suppose the law to be meant which separated Israel from all other nations, the ancient ordinance which confined God's people and the blessings of the theocracy to narrow limits. This is now to be set aside (comp. <a href="/ephesians/2-11.htm">Ephesians 2:11-16</a>), when heathen nations flock to the city of God. Oaspari, Hitzig, Cheyne, and others translate, "shall the bound be afar off," <span class="accented">i.e.</span> the boundaries of the land of Israel shall be widely extended (comp. <a href="/isaiah/33-17.htm">Isaiah 33:17</a>, which Cheyne explains, "Thine eyes shall behold a widely extended territory"). Wordsworth obtains much the same meaning by taking the verb in the sense of "promulgated," and referring the "decree," as in <a href="/psalms/2-7.htm">Psalm 2:7, 8</a>, to God's purpose of giving to Messiah the utmost parts of the earth for a possession. The building, of the walls does not indicate the narowing of the limits of the theocratic kingdom. Whether <span class="accented">chok</span> be taken to signify "decree" (<span class="accented">lex</span>, Vulgate) or "boundary," the effect of its removal afar is seen by the next verse to be the entrance of foreign nations into the kingdom of God.
