<p class="tab-1">Comparing this chapter with the close of the foregoing chapter, the comfortable promises here with the terrible threatenings there, we may, with the apostle, “behold the goodness and severity of God,” (<a class="bibleref" title="Rom.11.22" href="/passage/?search=Rom.11.22">Rom. 11:22</a>), towards the Jewish church which fell, severity when Zion was ploughed as a field, but towards the Christian church, which was built upon the ruins of it, goodness, great goodness; for it is here promised, I. That it shall be advanced and enlarged by the accession of the nations to it, <a class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.1,Mic.4.2" href="/passage/?search=Mic.4.1,Mic.4.2"><span class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.1">Mic. 4:1</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.2">2</span></a>.

III. That it shall be kept close, and constant, and faithful to God, <a class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.5" href="/passage/?search=Mic.4.5">Mic. 4:5</a>. IV. That under Christ’s government, all its grievances shall be redressed, <a class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.6,Mic.4.7" href="/passage/?search=Mic.4.6,Mic.4.7"><span class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.6">Mic. 4:6</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.7">7</span></a>. V. That it shall have an ample and flourishing dominion, <a class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.8" href="/passage/?search=Mic.4.8">Mic. 4:8</a>. VI. That its troubles shall be brought to a happy issue at length, <a class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.9,Mic.4.10" href="/passage/?search=Mic.4.9,Mic.4.10"><span class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.9">Mic. 4:9</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.10">10</span></a>. VII. That its enemies shall be disquieted, nay, that they shall be destroyed in and by their attempts against it, <a class="bibleref" title="Mic.4.11-Mic.4.13" href="/passage/?search=Mic.4.11-Mic.4.13">Mic. 4:11-13</a>.</p>
