SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:15
Yo les mostraré maravillas como el día que saliste de Egipto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 7:15
Verse 15. According to the days] This is the answer to the prophet's prayer; and God says he will protect, save, defend, and work miracles for them in their restoration, such as he wrought for their fathers in their return from Egypt to the promised land.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt , etc.] This is an answer of the Lord to the prayer of the prophet, assuring him, and the church he represents, and on whose account he applies, that there would be as great a deliverance wrought for them, and as wonderful things done, as when Israel was brought out of the land of Egypt, which was effected with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm, and was attended with amazing events; as the plagues in Egypt; the passage of the Israelites through the Red see, and the destruction of the Egyptians in it: will I show unto him marvellous [things] ; that is, unto the people of the Lord, the flock of his heritage, the solitary and peculiar people, fed and preserved by him: as the deliverance out of Egypt; was the Lord’s work, so the deliverance from Babylon; as the one was the work of his power upon the heart of Pharaoh to let the people go, so the other as great an act of his power working upon the mind of Cyrus, stirring him up to let the captives go free, without price or reward; yea, to furnish them with necessaries by the way, and to rebuild their city and temple: and as Pharaoh and his host were drowned in the Red sea, so the kingdom of Babylon was swallowed up by the Medes and Persians; yea, in some respects the latter deliverance exceeded the former, and erased the remembrance of it; (see Jeremiah 16:14,15); and that redemption by Christ, which both these were typical of, was greater and more marvellous than either, being a deliverance from, and an abolition and destruction of sin, Satan, the law, hell, and death, and attended with things the most wonderful and surprising; as the birth of Christ of a virgin; the miracles done by him in life, and at death; the doctrines of the Gospel preached by him and his apostles, and the amazing success of them, especially in the Gentile world, being testified and confirmed by signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost. This passage, both by ancient and modern Jews f227 , is applied to the times of the Messiah. So in an ancient book of theirs, speaking of the times of the Messiah, they say, “from that day all the signs and wonders, and mighty works, which the Lord did in Egypt, he will do for Israel, as it is said, “according to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt”, etc.” It is also said, by a modern writer of theirs, “because of the miracles and wonders which shall be in the days of the Messiah, such as the gathering of the captives, the resurrection of the dead, and the destruction of Gog and Magog, besides other miracles and wonders, the end of the redemption is called the end of wonders in ( Daniel 12:6); and this is that which God has promised by his prophets, particularly Micah, ( Micah 7:15); “according to the days”, etc. and from what follows, with the rest of the verses to the end of the book, it is manifest that these promises are not yet fulfilled, but will be fulfilled in the days of the Messiah.”
From whence it appears, that it was the sense of the ancient Jews, as well as some modern ones, that miracles would be wrought in the days of the Messiah; though some of them reject them, and look not for them; particularly Maimonides says, “let it not enter into thine heart that the King Messiah hath need to do signs and wonders; as that he shall renew things in the world, or raise the dead, and the like; these are things which fools speak of; the thing is not so.”
But however, certain it is, the ancient Jews expected miracles to be done by the Messiah; hence some, in the times of Jesus, said, “when Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?” ( John 7:31); and accordingly the miracles Jesus did were full proofs of his being the Messiah, and were wrought for that purpose, and owned as such; wherefore the above Jew, though he is right in the application of this passage to the times of the Messiah, yet is wrong in saying these promises are not yet fulfilled, since they have had a full accomplishment in the Messiah Jesus; nor is another to be looked for, or such miracles to be hereafter wrought.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-20 - When God is about to deliver his people, he stirs up their friends to pray for them. Apply spiritually the prophet's prayer to Christ, to take care of his church, as the great Shepherd of the sheep, and to go before them, while they are here in this world as in a wood, in thi world but not of it. God promises in answer to this prayer, he will do that for them which shall be repeating the miracles of former ages. A their sin brought them into bondage, so God's pardoning their sin brought them out. All who find pardoning mercy, cannot but wonder a that mercy; we have reason to stand amazed, if we know what it is. When the Lord takes away the guilt of sin, that it may not condemn us, he will break the power of sin, that it may not have dominion over us. I left to ourselves, our sins will be too hard for us; but God's grac shall be sufficient to subdue them, so that they shall not rule us, an then they shall not ruin us. When God forgives sin, he takes care tha it never shall be remembered any more against the sinner. He cast their sins into the sea; not near the shore-side, where they may appea again, but into the depth of the sea, never to rise again. All their sins shall be cast there, for when God forgives sin, he forgives all He will perfect that which concerns us, and with this good work will do all for us which our case requires, and which he has promised. Thes engagements relate to Christ, and the success of the gospel to the en of time, the future restoration of Israel, and the final prevailing of true religion in all lands. The Lord will perform his truth and mercy not one jot or tittle of it shall fall to the ground: faithful is He that has promised, who also will do it. Let us remember that the Lor has given the security of his covenant, for strong consolation to all who flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before them in Chris Jesus __________________________________________________________________
