Commentary
(Mic 1:3; Jde 1:14). disclose . . . blood-- (Gen 4:10-11; Job 16:18; Eze 24:7-8). All the innocent blood shed, and all other wrongs done, so long seemingly with impunity, shall then be avenged (Rev 16:6). At the time when Israel shall be delivered, and the ungodly nations punished, God shall punish also the great enemy of the Church. Next: Isaiah Chapter 27
