Micah7:11
Verſe 11. In the day that thy walls are to be built] In the type, by Nehemiah, chap. 3. who did the work with all his might: and having a ready heart, made riddance, and good diſpatch of it.Mar. 16.15. In the truth, and ſpiritually, when the Goſpel was to be preached to every creature, and a Church collected of Jews and Gentiles. The Church is in the Canticles ſaid to be a garden encloſed: ſuch as hath a wall about it, and a well within it, Cant. 4.12. See the Note there. God will be favourable in his good pleaſure unto Zion,Pſal 51.18. and build the walls of Jeruſalem. His ſpirit alſo will ſet up a ſtandard, in his Saints, againſt ſtrong corruptions and temptations: and make them more then conquerours, even Triumphers, Eſay 59.19. Rom. 8.37. 2 Cor. 2.14.
In that day ſhall the decree be farre removed] That decree of the Babylonians, forbidding the building of the Temple and City, ſhall be reverſed: and thoſe ſtatutes that were not good, (given them by Gods permiſſion, becauſe they had deſpiſed his ſtatutes, Ezek. 20.24, 25.) ſhall be annulled, and removed farre away. Some read it, In that day ſhall the decree go farre abroad, and interpret it, by Pſal. 2.7, 8. of the doctrine of the Goſpel.
