The same Prophecy is given out by Micah, in the same words, Chap. 4. v. 1, 2, 3. And by the common consent of the Jews, the Messiah is here intended, although he be not mentioned in the Targum. The Talmudical Fable also of the lifting up of Jerusalem three Leagues high, and the setting of Mount Moriah on the top of Sinai, Carmel, and Tabor which shall be brought together unto that purpose, mentioned in Midrash Tehellim, and in Baba Bathra; distinc. Hammocher, is wrested from these words. But those also of them who pretend to more sobriety, do generally apply them to the promised Messiah. Kimchi gives it for a Rule, that that expression, [Greek or Hebrew] in the latter days, doth still denote the times of the Messiah, which I suppose is not liable unto any exception. And as he giveth a tolerable Exposition of the establishing of the Mountain of the Lord, on the top of the Mountains, assigning it to the Glory of the Worship of God, above all the False and Idolatrous Worship of the Gentiles, which they observed on Mountains and High Places, so concerning those words, v. 4. [Greek or Hebrew], he shall judge ⟨p. 105⟩among the Nations, he saith [Greek or Hebrew], This Judge; or He that judgeth is the King Messiah. The like also saith Aben Ezra on the same place, and Jarchi on the same words in the Prophecy of Micah. And as this is true, so whereas Jehovah alone is mentioned in the foregoing Verses, unto whom and no other this expression can relate, how it is possible for them to deny that the Messiah is the Lord, the God of Jacob also; for undeniably it is he, concerning whom it is said, that he shall judge among the Nations; And by their confession that it is the Messiah who is the Shophet the Judge here intended, they are plainly convinced out of their own mouths, and their infidelity condemned by themselves.
