Micah 2:13

The *Assyrians will rule God’s people. God’s people will be in a foreign country. They will need a strong leader to rescue them. Only the *LORD can do that. Their escape happens in three parts:

1) The people try to escape from the city where they are. But they cannot get through its gate. It is as if there is a wall in front of the gate. God is like *Israel’s *Shepherd. And he is their King. He goes forward. He breaks through the gate.

2) The crowds break out. They pass through the opening in the gate.

3) Their King takes the position that is his right. It is at their head.

*Israel’s kings from the Earth failed. Their King from heaven will succeed.
