According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous things.
Psalm 68:22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
Psalm 78:12-72 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan…
Isaiah 11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
I will show My wonders
The promise of showing wonders suggests future acts of divine intervention similar to those experienced during the Exodus. In the biblical context, "wonders" often refer to miraculous signs that demonstrate God's power and authority. This phrase can be seen as a prophetic assurance of God's continued involvement in the lives of His people. It also points to the eschatological hope of ultimate redemption and restoration. The wonders of God are not limited to the past; they are a promise for the future, indicating that God will act again in mighty ways. This can also be seen as a type of Christ, who performed many signs and wonders during His earthly ministry, fulfilling the role of the ultimate deliverer and redeemer.
- The Lord deliberately points back to a specific period that really happened, reminding His people of His unchanging nature (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8).
- He frames the coming intervention by saying, in effect, “Look at My track record.” This anchors hope in historical fact, not vague optimism (Psalm 77:11-12).
- By mentioning “the days,” God underlines that His past acts were not isolated miracles but a pattern of covenant faithfulness stretching from Abraham through the Exodus and into every generation (Deuteronomy 7:9).
- Israel’s escape from Pharaoh was a literal, nationally defining deliverance (Exodus 12:51), often rehearsed in Scripture as the prime example of God’s saving power (Hosea 11:1; Isaiah 43:16-17).
- Key highlights of that exodus—
• The blood of the lamb shielding households (Exodus 12:13)
• The Red Sea opening and closing (Exodus 14:21-28)
• Daily provision of manna and water in the wilderness (Exodus 16:15; 17:6)
• The Lord’s visible presence in the pillar of cloud and fire (Exodus 13:21-22)
- Micah’s generation, and ours, are urged to remember those concrete acts so faith can rise for present and future needs (Psalm 105:5-8).
- The same God who unleashed ten plagues (Exodus 3:20) promises fresh, unmistakable wonders. He does not recycle yesterday’s miracles; He matches them with new ones equally real and unmistakable (Jeremiah 16:14-15).
- In Micah’s immediate setting, that meant dramatic reversal for a beleaguered remnant: enemies judged, the nation regathered, and the land renewed (Micah 7:16-17; Zephaniah 3:19-20).
- Looking further ahead, the promise blossoms in the Messiah’s first coming—healing the blind, raising the dead (Matthew 11:4-5)—and will climax when He returns in power, defeating every foe and establishing His kingdom (Revelation 15:3-4).
- Practical take-away:
• God’s past wonders guarantee future ones.
• No bondage—personal or national—is beyond His reach (John 8:36).
• Expectation rooted in Scripture fuels endurance until the promise is visibly fulfilled (Romans 15:4).
Micah 7:15 is God’s pledge to act again with the same unmistakable power He displayed in the Exodus. By recalling literal history, He assures His people that He remains the wonder-working Redeemer, ready to bring fresh deliverance, both in near-term national restoration and in the ultimate triumph of Christ’s kingdom.
(15) According to the days of thy coming out.--The promise of Jehovah, in reply to the prophet's supplication, graciously recalls His interposition in the land of Egypt. This interposition shall be repeated.Verse 15. - According to (as in) the days. The Lord answers the prophet's prayer, taking up his last word, and promising even more than he asks, engaging to equal the wonders which marked the exodus from Egypt. That great deliverance was a type and foreshadowing of Messianic salvation (comp. Isaiah 43:15, etc.; Isaiah 51:10; 1 Corinthians 10:1, etc.). Unto him; unto the people of Israel (ver. 14). Marvellous things; Septuagint, Οψεσθε θαυμαστά, "Ye shall see marvellous things." Supernatural occurrences are meant, as Exodus 3:20; Exodus 15:11; Psalm 77:14. We do not read of any special miracles at the return from captivity, so the people were led to look onward to the advent of Messiah for these wonders.
