Micah 5:9
Compare all
7 Then athe remnant of Jacob
Shall be in the midst of many peoples,
bLike dew from the Lord,
Like showers on the grass,
That1 tarry for no man
Nor1 wait for the sons of men. 
8 And the remnant of Jacob
Shall be among the Gentiles,
In the midst of many peoples,
Like a alion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Who, if he passes through,
Both treads down and tears in pieces,
And none can deliver. 
9 Your hand shall be lifted against your adversaries,
And all your enemies shall be1 cut off. 
10 “And it shall be in that day,” says the Lord,
“That I will acut off your bhorses from your midst
And destroy your cchariots. 
11 I will cut off the cities of your land
And throw down all your strongholds.
12 I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you shall have no asoothsayers.

Micah 5:9

Their hand shall be lifted up upon their adversaries - The might of the Church is the Might of Christ in her, and the glory of the Church is His from whom it comes and to whom it returns. It is all one, whether this be said to Christ or to the "remnant of Jacob, that is, His Church. Her "enemies" are His, and her' s only because they are His, and hate her as belonging to Him. They "shall be cut off," either ceasing to be His enemies, or ceasing to be, as Julian or Arius or antichrist, "whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His Mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His Coming" II Thessalonians 2:8. And in the end, Satan also, over whom Christ gave the Apostles "power to tread on all the power of the Enemy" Luke 10:19, shall be "bruised under our feet" Romans 16:20.
