Matthew Poole and continuators on Micah 7:15

15 According to the dayes of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things .

You Jewes do often reflect on the wonders your fathers saw in Egypt some hundreds of years since, and some of you think that such wonders would both establish your hope and engage your obedience for ever to God, you pray that you may be fed as in dayes of old; It shall be so according to what I have done, I will again do.

There I slew the First-born er'e they would let thee go free; that stroke of the Angel I will parallel with the destruction of S[illegible: 2 letters] nache[illegible: 1 letter]ib's host in one night, and so I will preserve my people and city. Pharaoh and his host were drown'd in the Red Sea. And the Babylonish Kingdom shall be swallowed up by Medes and Persians to make way for my Ransom'd ones.

The person changed, as is usual in Scripture.

As indeed the rescuing Ierusalem from the Assyrian power was marvellous, and the bringing Israel out of Babylon was a marvellous work of God stirring up the spirit of Cyrus and Darius and others to release, and set free, nay to furnish this captive people with necessaries for their Journey, and for the work they were to do. So Psal. 126.2. 'twas a work all wondred at, by those passages, Jer. 16.14, 1[illegible: 1 letter]. and 23.7, 8. it seems more wonderful, but the great Redemption by the M[illegible: 1 letter]ssiah here typified is a most wonderful fulfilling of this.

These words are by all look'd on as the answer made to the Prayer made in the 14th. verse.
