God will burn the city of man! But before destruction reaches its fullness in this city, an Abjiah, one whose Father is Jehovah, will come, pleasing to the LORD, but stricken and smitten with the sickness of sin, and He will die, and all will morn for Him in the city of God. This Son’s death will be salvation – but in the house of Jeroboam no remedy will be found.

The long and short of Micah’s first glorious vision of the church in the latter days is that She will always triumphantly rise above all others, following the pattern of her Bridegroom. And she will always have the resources of the Word of the Lord which thoroughly equips us for all of life and the PEACE that passes understanding. The vision is not something you have to ‘make’ a reality – it IS the reality of God’s remnant church! Therefore… Live in this truth!

Sing the dear Savior’s glorious fame, Who bears the Breaker’s wondrous name; Sweet name, and it be-comes him well, Who breaks down sin, guilt, death, and hell.
