Zion’s Future Triumph
a“I will assemble the lame,
bI will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted;
And the outcast a strong nation;
So the Lord bwill reign over them in Mount Zion
From now on, even forever.
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.”
aIs there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For bpangs have seized you like a woman in1 labor.
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to aBabylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the bLord will credeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye blook upon Zion.”

Micah 4:8
O tower of the flock - I think the temple is meant, or Jerusalem; the place where the flock, the whole congregation of the people assembled to worship God. Newcome retains the Hebrew word eder , a tower in or near Beth-lehem, Genesis 35:21 or, as some think, a tower near the sheep-gate in Jerusalem, I believe Jerusalem, or the temple, or both, are meant; for these were considered the stronghold of the daughter-of Zion, the fortress of the Jewish people.
Even the first dominion - What was this? The Divine theocracy under Jesus Christ; this former, this first dominion, was to be restored. Hence the angel called him Immanuel, God with us, ruling among us.
