“Peace Under God’s Reign” Micah 4v1-5 [21st June 2026]

Bible teaching by Thomas Abbott on the 21st June 2026. TEACHING NOTES Micah 4:1–5 gives us one of the Bible’s great visions of peace: nations streaming to the mountain of the Lord, weapons transformed into farming tools, and every person sitting safely under their own vine and fig tree… But this peace does not come through human will, political idealism or clever diplomacy. It comes because God reigns. After the judgment of Micah 3, where Zion is reduced to rubble, chapter 4 opens in stark contrast with astonishing hope: the judged mountain will one day be exalted above all other mountains. God will teach the nations, judge rightly, settle disputes and remove fear forever. As born-again followers with His in-dwelling spirit, we see this vision centred on Jesus Christ, the Judge who was judged in our place. By his death and resurrection, peace with God has begun, and when he returns, Micah’s prophecy will be fully realised!
