Michah 4:5 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 forever and ever.
That can't mean God is allowing worship of other gods. It goes against everything He teaches. To me it had to be mistranslated or these "gods" are those that made the first resurrection and are the priests (teachers) of those that were not part of the first resurrection. (Ps.82:6 and John10:34-35).
Please let me know your thoughts on this (as well as anyone else that has an opinion).
Thank you........Ping
This is the same problem we noticed earlier in this thread where we were discussing Naomi and Ruth. The word "god" does not mean "Our Lord God" as we know Him or even a pagan god.....it means: 430. 'elohiym (el-o-heem')gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative; angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty. We learned in the Book of Ruth that the "gods" in [Ruth 1:15] were really "judges" as indicated in [Ruth 1:1].
The word "Lord" used later in the verse is: 3068. Yhovah (yeh-ho-vaw')(the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Hebrew name of God and this is the same word used in [Ruth 1:17] where Ruth acknowledges The Lord God instead of the judges who were ruling in Israel at that time [Ruth 1:1].
Micah is speaking of the Millennium (last days...verse 1) and is indicating that many disputes will be settled (verse 3) and during the Millennium The Lord will have resurrected Saints (now immortal beings) helping Him to do just this.... and judge the affairs (verse 3) of mankind. During this 1000 year period, where there is no Satanic influence, it will be a great learning experience for mortals yet inhabiting the Earth.....learning to do things God's way.
