MICAH III, IV, V, VI, VII.

THE last verse of the third of Micah is owned by the men of Jeremiahs time, to have been uttered in the time of Hezekiah, Jer. 26. 18. and here may both that whole Chapter, and all the Chapters that follow it be very well placed, as Pro∣phesied in some time of Hezekiahs first thirteen years, before Sennacherib besieged Jerusa∣lem; for in Chap. 5. 1. he seemeth to speak of that siege, and of Sennacheribs blasphemy both against God and Hezekiah, smiting the Judge of Israel as with a rod upon the cheek; and he fore-telleth that Christ should be the peoples peace in the Assyrians invasion; and that though the proud enemy thought to triumph and tread down the chief City of all the Nation, Jerusalem, yet should that be so far from being insulted over by him, that Beth∣lehem a poor Town should yield and produce one that should tread both the Assyrian and all other the Churches enemies under foot. And so as the birth of Christ of a Virgin was a sign to Ahaz, so is his birth in Bethlehem a sign in the days of Hezekiah.
