Micah 7:13

"In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain."

Key Reflection

This verse envisions a time when people from various nations, including Assyria and Egypt, will seek out God's presence. The expansive description—from "the River" (likely the Euphrates) to "sea to sea, and mountain to mountain"—underscores the global reach of God’s grace and the universal desire for spiritual fulfillment.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Notwithstanding -(And) the land (that is that spoken of, the land of Judah) shall be desolate not through any arbitrary law or the might of her enemies, but through the sins of the people, because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings Truly “the fruit of their doings,” what they did to please themselves, of their own minds against God. As they sow, so shall they reap. This sounds almost as a riddle and contradiction beforehand; “the walls built up,” “the people gathered in,” and “the land desolate.” Yet it was all fulfilled in the letter as well as in spirit.
