It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it—after the judgment prophecies of chapters 1-3, Micah now shifts to eschatological hope, describing the restoration and elevation of God's house. The 'latter days' language introduces the final age of God's redemptive plan, when judgment has given way to restoration. The elevation of the temple mountain above all others symbolizes the supremacy of God's rule and the centrality of God's dwelling in the renewed world. The flowing of peoples toward the temple expresses universalized worship and the gathering of all humanity to acknowledge God's authority. This verse establishes that judgment is not final; restoration awaits the faithful remnant.
