In the first part of this chapter we see peace among all nations, and all people seeking the instruction of the God of Jacob, our God, the one and only true God. People have turned tools of war into tools of peace, and no one is stealing from one another, because the Lord of host spoke it.
In v 10 & 11 Micah writes about the Daughter of Zion being in travail, and many nations are gathered against her, to let her be defiled, and to look upon Zion.
Mic 4:12-13
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
KJV
What a powerful statement in v 12 about the thoughts of the Lord. No one can know the thoughts and ways of God almighty, for his ways are above the ways of man, and who can know his thoughts.
Take heart all men for the Lord of heaven knows where each and every one of us REAL Men are, he knows all of our thoughts, the needs of our families, the desires of heart, and what we are capable of. Luke 12:32 says it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
