And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
Micah 5:15 belongs to Micah's message of judgment and warning against sin. Its chapter stands in a section that moves from rebuke and threatened judgment to a promise of blessing. That larger prophecy speaks definitely of Christ's coming and offers wonderful promises to the repentant sinner. It names the Messiah's birthplace and shows His preexistence.
Micah 5 shows Babylon as the very beginning of the beast power with seven heads. Those seven heads are seven great dynasties of church-and-state government against God. They begin when the kingdom was taken away from Israel and Judah went into captivity to Babylon. They continue until Christ comes.
