Miquéias 2
Phillips - The Remnant (2:12-13) - There was a godly remnant in Judah and the most prominent spokesman of this believing minority was King Hezekiah. Contemplation of this remnant encouraged Micah to switch suddenly to a promise for the future. His vision leaped over the ages and he saw the endtime blessing of a regathered remnant of both Israel and Judah. Micah, who was fond of pastoral imagery, saw this remnant as "the sheep of Bozrah" (2:12), a district noted for its rich pasturelands (2 Kings 3:4). He heard the noise of a large crowd of people and saw, going before them, "the breaker" (2:13). The Messiah is the One who clears the way. Just as He marched ahead of His people when they came out of Egypt into the promised land, so He will march ahead of them in a coming day. He will clear out of their way the beast, the false prophet, and the massed armies of the world. (Exploring the Minor Prophets) Charles Ryrie - A prediction of the regathering and deliverance of Israel in connection with the second coming of Messiah, who is called the breaker (i.e., the one who goes ahead to remove obstacles in the path).

Phillips - The Messiah is the One who clears the way. Just as He marched ahead of His people when they came out of Egypt into the promised land, so He will march ahead of them in a coming day. He will clear out of their way the beast, the false prophet, and the massed armies of the world. Just as the Lord went before His people in the pillar of fire and the cloud through the wilderness, so three times in Mic 2:13 we are told He will go before His people to guide them (cf. Ex 13:21; Dt 1:30, 33; Isa 52:12). This Breaker can be none other than the Messiah Himself. It is He who will clear the way for the people to break out of their enemies’ cities, passing through as if there were no gates. This messianic interpretation can be confirmed by the fact that “the Breaker” is also referred to in Mic 2:13 as “their King” and “the LORD.” All of Israel’s blessings will be realized in the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ."
