From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

It shall yet be that -The promises are those which God had already made by Isaiah (Isaiah 2:2ff) and Micah (Micah 4:1ff). Yet where was the show of their fulfillment? The Jews themselves, a handful: the temple unfinished; its completion depending, in human sight, upon the will of their pagan masters, the rival worship at Samaria standing and inviting to coalition. Appearances and experience were against it. God says virtually, that it was, in human sight, contrary to all expectations.
