Micah 4:5
Back to The Bible's Difficult Scriptures Explained!
“For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever.”
What is the meaning of “the name of his God” and “the name of the Lord our God”?
As the context shows, this verse will be fulfilled after Christ has returned to earth and ended all wars. All nations, both large and small, will be subject to Christ’s rulership and rebuking. They will convert their instruments of war into tools for agricultural (Mic 4:3). War will no longer be fought anywhere on earth. And happiness, peace and prosperity will be known throughout all nations (Mic 4:4).
Through Christ’s headquarters at Jerusalem, people will receive true and proper education. They will worship the true God in their own language—“the name of his God.” The Israelis will worship in their own language—“we will walk in…our God.” While they may also be able to use their native languages, all will be worshipping the same God.
Also, the phrase “walk every one in the name of his god” is almost certainly a reference to the many God Beings at that time—true Christians who have been born into the God Family at the First Resurrection upon Christ’s Return—who will then rule the earth under Him.
Also, all people and nations will be taught a new language. This pure language will allow everyone to communicate with one another (Zeph. 3:9). Their native language will possibly exist side-by-side with one universal language—as is the case with English throughout the world today. Suggested reading:
