micah 2:13 "The breaker goes up before them; They break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it. So their king goes on before them, And the LORD at their head."

< Micah 2:12
Micah 3:1 >

      13. The breaker--Jehovah-Messiah, who breaks through every obstacle in the way of their restoration: not as formerly breaking forth to destroy them for transgression (Ex 19:22; Jud 21:15), but breaking a way for them through their enemies.
      they--the returning Israelites and Jews.
      passed through the gate--that is, through the gate of the foe's city in which they had been captives. So the image of the resurrection (Ho 13:14) represents Israel's restoration.
      their king--"the Breaker," peculiarly "their king" (Ho 3:5; Mt 27:37).
      pass before them--as He did when they went up out of Egypt (Ex 13:21; De 1:30, 33).
      the Lord on the head of them--Jehovah at their head (Isa 52:12). Messiah, the second person, is meant (compare Ex 23:20; 33:14; Isa 63:9).
