Hi Levites: Since we read that Israel is to be saved and have a world-wide service a) an actual return is to come, he says (and it did come), through for a remnant only, it remains to be the seed of the Kingdom and will come great and world-wide. Such seed is to be produced not by natural birth only (natural Israel was only the vehicle for the realization of the spiritual Kingdom), but by spiritual conversion, as at Pentecost, and such. To Micah the spiritual kingdom is the universal worship of Jesus, and the ideal Davidic King is the Messiah. b) during the Maccabean period Israel actually existed as a nation, with an Aaronic king as ruler. Contrary to Gods missionary purpose (Gn. 12:3), the nation at this time was highly isolationist in attitude. Micah foretold that the kingdom to be established is to be universal, eternal, and essentially spiritual. https://bible/bible/1/gen.12.3.kjv
