| The first word in the Hebrew<Ref name="Hebcomp">Hebrew compare<Br>
[[Micah 4]]:1<Br> וְהָיָ֣ה בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית הַיָּמִ֗ים יִ֠הְיֶה הַ֣ר בֵּית־יְהוָ֤ה נָכֹון֙ בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הֶהָרִ֔ים וְנִשָּׂ֥א  ה֖וּא מִגְּבָעֹ֑ות וְנָהֲר֥וּ עָלָ֖יו עַמִּֽים ׃ <Br>
וְהָיָ֣ה בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית הַיָּמִ֗ים נָכֹ֨ון יִֽהְיֶ֜ה הַ֤ר בֵּית־יְהוָה֙ בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הֶהָרִ֔ים וְנִשָּׂ֖א מִגְּבָעֹ֑ות וְנָהֲר֥וּ אֵלָ֖יו כָּל־הַגֹּויִֽם ׃ <Br>from [[Isaiah 2]]:2 both from the Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex<Br>
These variations are almost identical except for the last words "and all nations shall flow unto it" in Isaiah and in Micah "and people shall flow unto it."</Ref> is VavHeyYodHey pronounced like wə-hā-yāh more literally translated "And it shall come to pass". The next word we see is AlefChetReish which means ''after'' but contains additional letters added to it in this text, a [[Yod]], the ''divine spark'', and a [[Tav]], the letter for ''[[faith]]''. Then we see the word "last"<Ref name="last">{{0319}}</Ref> which in the Hebrew appears as AlefChetReishYodTav'''[[Beit]]''' which also appears in [[Isaiah 2]]:2<Ref name="isaiah2">[[Isaiah 2]]:2 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."</Ref> . The root word is AlefChetReish meaning ''delay'' or ''after'' but by adding letters like [[Yod]], [[Tav]], and [[Beit]] the author adds to the richness of the meaning.
The term for ''last'' in [[Micah 4]] is translated "But in the last" but we see the same  unique variations<Ref name="Hebcomp"></Ref> in [[Isaiah 2]]:2<Ref name="isaiah2"></Ref> "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it." 
|- 
| ''Last'' is followed by ''yowm'' YodVavMem Meaning "day, time, year" <Ref>{{03117}}</Ref>
|- 
| The term  mountain is ''har'' HeyReish<Ref name="mountain">{{02022}}</Ref> which is "of the house of the LORD shall "be established"<Ref name="establish">{{03559}}</Ref> or " to be set up" in the top of the mountains but this term has additional letters appearing as HeyHeyReishYodMem הֶהָרִ֔ים he-hā-rîm. This mountain HeyHeyReishYodMem "shall be exalted above the hills". The word hill is from GimelBeitAyinHey<Ref>{{01389}}</Ref> but appears as '''Mem'''GimelBeitAyin'''VavTav''' ''mig-gə-ḇā-‘ō-wṯ'' from the word ''cup or bowl'' GimelBeitYodAyin גְּבִיעַ‎ gëbiya‘.<Ref name="hill">{{01375}}</Ref> 
|-
| The word ''exalted'' Is from ''nasa’'' NunShinAlef<Ref>{{05375}}</Ref> can mean "carry off". And here we see  wə·niś·śā- from the letters VavNunShinAlef which also appears in the same form in [[2 Kings 20]]:17 as "''shall be carried'' into [[Babylon]]"  and [[Isaiah 39]]:6 "''shall be carried'' to [[Babylon]]" and [[Daniel 11]]:12 "''[And] when he hath taken away'' the multitude", and [[Amos 4]]:2 "shall come upon you, that he ''will take you away'' with hooks".<Br>
We also see the untranslated HeyVavAlef next to the VavNunShinAlef (wə·niś·śā-).<Ref name="Hebcomp"></Ref>

'''The Mountain of the Lord'''

1 But in the last<Ref name="last">{{0319}}</Ref> days<Ref>[[Isaiah 2]]:2  And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
: [[Acts 2]]:17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
: 2 Timothy 3:1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
: Hebrews 1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
: James 5:3  Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
: [[2 Peter 3]]:3  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,...10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the [[elements]] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. (see [[Micah 1]]:4)</Ref> it shall come to pass, that the mountain<Ref name="mountain">{{02022}}</Ref> of the house of the LORD shall be established<Ref name="establish">{{03559}}</Ref> be restored in the top of the mountains<Ref name="mountain">{{02022}}</Ref>, and it shall be exalted above the hills;<Ref name="hill">{{01389}}</Ref> and people shall flow unto it.
2 
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God<Ref name="house">Matthew 21:13  And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves[''[[3027|plunderer]]''].
: Mark 11:17  And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves[''[[3027|plunderer]]''].
: Luke 19:46  Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves[''[[3027|plunderer]]''].</Ref> of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 
And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4 
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
5 
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 for ever and ever.

'''The Lord Shall Rescue Zion'''

6 
In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth,<Ref name="halt">{{06760}}</Ref> and I will gather her that is driven out,<Ref name="out">{{05080}}</Ref> and her that I have afflicted;
7 
And I will make her that halted<Ref name="halt">{{06760}}</Ref> a remnant, and her that was cast far off<Ref name="out">{{05080}}</Ref> a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.


8 
And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 
Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
10 
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to [[Babylon]]<Ref name="Babylon">[[Revelation 14]]:8  And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
: Revelation 16:19  And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
: [[Revelation 17]]:5  And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
: Revelation 18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
: Revelation 18:10  Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
: Revelation 18:21  And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.</Ref>; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 
Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 
But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
13 
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
