Micah 4-5

4 - God will restore Zion's mountain as a place of pure worship, teaching and judgment for all nations.  Don't fret when they gather against you, for I've done it to bring them to Me.

5 - Bethlehem will bring forth a shepherd to feed the flock of Israel, though Assyria will invade and strike Him.  God will cut off Israel's horses, cities, idols, and sorceries, but deliver a remnant.

How this is about Jesus

He is the King on the mountain to which the nations flow (Psalm 2; Isaiah 60).

He is the ruler born in Bethlehem, "whose origin is from of old, from ancient days" (5:2).

Application

The promise of restoration and removal of sin, violence and threat creates such longing in the heart for it now.  This is a hope that purifies (1 John 3:3).

"They shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid, for the mouth of Yahweh of hosts has spoken" (Micah 4:4).
