God's World, God's Way

Stop Living Like We’re Losing (Micah 4:1–4)


Listen Later

Are you tempted to think the Church is losing, that the nations are defying God without consequence, and that the best we can do is manage decline? Micah 4:1-4 gives us a stunning corrective. In this episode, we work through one of the most hope-filled passages in the Old Testament — a prophetic vision of God's kingdom growing from a mustard seed into a mountain that fills the entire earth, not just in eternity, but in history.

We explore what the "latter days" actually means, why the nations come to Zion as nations rather than as isolated individuals, and what it is that draws them there — not vague spiritual feeling, but the law of God going forth faithfully, generation after generation. We look at why the Great Commission is inseparable from the teaching of God's law, why peace between nations is impossible without it, and what the picture of every man sitting under his own vine and fig tree really promises — and doesn't promise.

This episode is a call to faith. Not the thin faith that says "I'll go to heaven when I die," but the robust, world-changing faith that takes God at His word when He says wars will end, security will come, and the nations will bow — because the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken it.
