Berean Study Bible

In that day
This phrase often signifies a future time of divine intervention or fulfillment of prophecy. In the Hebrew context, "that day" is a marker of hope and restoration, pointing to a time when God will act decisively. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty and the assurance that His plans will come to fruition.

they will come to you
The phrase suggests a gathering or return, indicating a movement towards a central point, which in this context is likely Jerusalem or the people of Israel. This can be seen as a prophetic vision of the nations recognizing the God of Israel, symbolizing unity and reconciliation.

from Assyria
Assyria was a dominant empire during Micah's time, known for its military might and conquests. The mention of Assyria highlights the extent of God's reach and influence, suggesting that even powerful nations will acknowledge Him. Historically, Assyria was an enemy of Israel, so this indicates a reversal of fortunes and a time of peace.

and the cities of Egypt
Egypt, like Assyria, was a significant power in the ancient world. The reference to Egypt's cities emphasizes the breadth of the gathering, as Egypt was often seen as a place of refuge and also of bondage for Israel. This signifies liberation and the breaking of old enmities.

even from Egypt to the Euphrates
The Euphrates River was a boundary of the known world for the Israelites. This phrase indicates a vast geographical area, symbolizing the far-reaching impact of God's plan. It suggests a gathering from the ends of the earth, highlighting the inclusivity of God's kingdom.

and from sea to sea
This expression is a poetic way of describing the entirety of the earth. In the biblical context, it often refers to the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea or the Red Sea. It underscores the universality of God's reign and the comprehensive nature of His salvation.

and mountain to mountain
Mountains in biblical literature often represent stability, permanence, and divine presence. This phrase suggests a journey or pilgrimage, indicating that people will traverse great distances and obstacles to come to the Lord. It reflects the idea of seeking God with determination and faith.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(12) In that day also he shall come.--Rather translate, In that day shall they (impersonal) come even to thee from Assyria and (from) the cities of Matzor (i.e., Egypt), and from Matzor even to the river (Euphrates), and from sea to sea, and (from) mountain to mountain. The prophet beholds people coming from all parts of the earth to Jerusalem. Isaiah foresaw the like future, and spoke of Assyria, Egypt, and Israel being assembled together, "whom the Lord of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt, my people, and Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel, mine inheritance" (Isaiah 19:25). The Christian reader can hardly refrain from discerning on the horizon of Micah's vision that marvellous assembly of the representatives of the nations in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 12. - He shall come; they shall come. Men shall flock to Zion as the metropolis of the new kingdom (Micah 4:2). The countries named are those in which the Jews were dispersed (see Isaiah 11:11). Micah embraces in one view the restoration of Israel and the conversion of the heathen (comp. Isaiah 19:24; Isaiah 27:12, 13). Assyria. The type of the greatest enemy of God. The fortified cities; rather, the cities of Mazor, the strong land, i.e. Egypt. The usual term for Egypt is Mizraim; but Mazor is found in 2 Kings 19:24; Isaiah 19:6; Isaiah 37:25. Cheyne compares the Assyrian name for this country, Mucar. From the fortress; from Mazor; Septuagint, ἀπὸ Τύρου, "from Tyre" or Tsor. Even to the river. From Egypt to the Euphrates, which was the river par excellence. (Genesis 15:18). From sea to sea. Not necessarily from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea or to the Persian Gulf (as Joel 2:20), but generally, from one sea to another, from the earth as bounded by the seas; so, from mountain to mountain; i.e. not from Lebanon to Sinai, or from Hor (Numbers 20:22) to Hor (Numbers 34:7), which is too limited, but from all lands situated between mountain barriers, which are the bounds of the world (comp. Isaiah 60:3, etc.).
