SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:8
Y será el remanente de Jacob entre los gentiles, en medio de muchos pueblos, como el león entre las bestias de la montaña, como el cachorro del león entre las manadas de las ovejas, el cual si pasare, y hollare, y arrebatare, no hay quien escape.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 5:8
Verse 8. As a lion] In this and the following verse the victories of the Maccabees are supposed to be foretold.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people , etc.] The same persons are meant here as before; who are compared to dew and showers of rain, because numerous; and full of blessings in themselves, and useful and beneficial to others: and here are said to be as a lion among the beasts of the forest ; strong, mighty, powerful, and courageous, and superior to their enemies, as the lion is strongest among beasts, and keeps all others in awe of him. Some refer this to the times of the Maccabees; when Judas and his brethren behaved with great fortitude and courage, and were victorious, and prevailed over the armies of Antiochus, and others; but it seems rather to belong to the latter day, when the Jews shall be superior to their enemies the Turks, who would disturb them in the possession of their land: and shall be a terror to them, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep ; signifying that their enemies shall be no more to them, and no more able to oppose them, than a flock of sheep are to a young lion, or they to resist him The design of the metaphor is; not to signify the harmlessness and innocence of their enemies, but their weakness, and the strength and courage of them; who, if he go through ; the flock: on whatsoever he seizes, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver ; brings it to the ground at once, tramples upon it, and tears it in pieces as its prey; and none in the flock, or to whom it belongs, can deliver out of his hand. This will be the case when the Jews shall turn to the Lord, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah shall be at the head of them; though some interpret this of the first times of the Gospel, and take it to be fulfilled in the apostles and first ministers of the word, who were Jews; and who were valiant defenders of truth, and conquerors over the devil and the world, and were the instruments of bringing many into subjection to Christ; but it seems best to apply it to the last times, and not to the converted Jews only, though in the first place; but to all the, spiritual Israel of God, the whole Christian church, which will then be in such happy circumstances.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-15 - The remnant of Israel, converted to Christ in the primitive times, wer among many nations as the drops of dew, and were made instruments in calling a large increase of spiritual worshippers. But to those wh neglected or opposed this salvation, they would, as lions, caus terror, their doctrine condemning them. The Lord also declares that he would cause not only the reformation of the Jews, but the purificatio of the Christian church. In like manner shall we be assured of victor in our personal conflicts, as we simply depend upon the Lord ou salvation, worship him, and serve him with diligence __________________________________________________________________
