| There are two different words translated into troops. "Gather in troops" is from ''gadad'' גָּדַד‎ (GimelDaletDalet) commonly translated cut<Ref name="tav2">{{01413}} </Ref> Like we saw in the study of [[Micah 1]] Jeremiah mentions this ''cutting'' and ''baldness'' numerous times but only in this verse do we see it with the additional letters as tiṯ-gō-ḏə-ḏî or the letters TavTavGimelDelatDelatWe see a similar word in [[Deuteronomy 14]]:1  "your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness..." ''Baldness'' was mentioned in [[Micah 1]].
|-
| The second  appearance of the English word ''troops'' is from gëduwd<Ref name="troop">{{01416}} </Ref> containing the letters GimelDaletVavDalet and suggest a ''marauding band'' and ''raiders'' which is a common use of the word.
|-
| Jeremiah also talks of 80 men who come after what seems to be [[repent]]ance and [[sacrifice]]. <Ref>[[Jeremiah 41]]:5  That there came certain from Shechem ["shoulder"], from Shiloh["place of rest"], and from Samaria["watch mountain"], [even] fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut <01413> themselves, with [[freewill offerings|offerings]] and [[incense]] in their hand, to bring [them] to the house of the LORD.</Ref> He also asks how long people will cut themselves off from the ''remnant'' of [[righteousness]]?<Ref> [[Jeremiah 47]]:5  Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off [with] the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut <01413> thyself?</Ref>
|-
| Verse  2 seems to the beginning of the prophecy of the "ruler in [[Israel]]" who will come from Bethlehem when the [[Assyria]]ns come into the land.
|-
| This ruler from Bethlehem will condemn the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and make a distinction between those who [[pray]] and ''[[3027|plunderers]]''.<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>

| '''Questions'''
|-
| Has the [[modern Church]] followed [[the way]] of [[Christ]] or the way of [[Assyria]]ns?
|-
| Are they saying Lord,Lord but actually [[workers of iniquity]] because their ''watchmen on the mountain'' preach in darkness?
|-
| Are their institutions become their [[graven images]]? 
|-
| Do they [[pray]] to men who [[exercise authority]] and [[force]] or [[love]] and [[charity]]?

'''The Ruler to Be Born in Bethlehem'''

2  But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;<Ref>Matthew 2:6  And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

: Genesis 48:7  And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet [there was] but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same [is] Bethlehem.
: Ruth 4:11  And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the elders, said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:</Ref> whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity }
3  Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of [[Israel]].
4  And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. {feed: or, rule }

'''A Remnant Shall Be Delivered'''

7 ¶  And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8  And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles<Ref name="graftgentile">{{graftgentile}}</Ref> in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. 
9  Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
10  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:<Ref>[[Deuteronomy 17]]:16  But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to [[Egypt]], to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.</Ref>
11  And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
12  And I will cut off witchcrafts<Ref>{{03785}}</Ref> out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:

14  And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 
15  And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
