Read Micah 4.1-5 God rules from Jerusalem.
This begins a new collection of speeches (chs. 4-5) that announce salvation rather then judgment.
They stress the return of the Israelite exiles and the restoration of Jerusalem to its former
power and prestige.
This same speech, celebrating God's rule over the nations in an era of universal disarmament,
is preserved also among the speeches of Micah's contemporary Isaiah (2.1-5).
In verse 1 the mountain on which the Temple in Jerusalem is located is in reality overshadowed
by higher peaks in the vicinity.
