Micah 2:10

“Arise ye, and depart, etc.] That is, out the land; do not think of a continuance in it, but expect a removal from it; prepare for captivity and exile; look for it every moment, to hear it said to you, arise, and be gone from hence; for, since you have drove others out of their inheritances and possessions, this shall be your case: for this [is] not [your] rest; the land in which the ten tribes then dwelt, and which was given to their fathers for an inheritance, and for a resting place, and had been so for ages past, now would be no more so, because of their sins and transgressions; they must not expect to abide here long, and enjoy rest and ease; but to be turned out, and deprived of all the…”

“Arise ye, and depart--not an exhortation to the children of God to depart out of an ungodly world, as it is often applied; though that sentiment is a scriptural one. This world is doubtless not our "rest," being "polluted" with sin: it is our passage, not our portion; our aim, not our home (Co2 6:17; Heb 13:14). The imperatives express the certainty of the future event predicted. "Since such are your doings (compare Mic 2:7-8, &c.), My sentence on you is irrevocable (Mic 2:4-5), however distasteful to you (Mic 2:6); ye who have cast out others from their homes and possessions (Mic 2:2, Mic 2:8-9) must arise, depart, and be cast out of your own (Mic 2:4-5): for this is not your rest" (Num…”

“Arise ye and depart - Go your way, as being cast out of God’s care and land. It matters not where they went. “For this is not your rest.” As ye have done, so shall it be done unto you. As ye cast out the widow and the fatherless, so shall ye be cast out; as ye gave no rest to those “averse from war,” so shall ye have none Revelation 13:10. “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.” The land was given to them as a temporary rest, a symbol and earnest of the everlasting rest to the obedient. So Moses spake, “ye are not as yet come to the rest and the inheritance which the Lord your God giveth you. But when ye go over…”

“Arise ye - Ye inhabitants of Israel, prepare for your departure out of this land. Your rest - Though it was given this people for a rest under God's wing; yet it was on condition of continued obedience. Polluted - With many, and great, and old sins. Destroy - It shall spue you out. Micah 2:11”

“and: Deu 4:26, Deu 30:18; Jos 23:15, Jos 23:16; Kg1 9:7; Kg2 15:29, Kg2 17:6; Ch2 7:20; Ch2 36:20, Ch2 36:21 for: Deu 12:9; Psa 95:11; Heb 4:1-9 because: Lev 18:24-28, Lev 20:22-26; Psa 106:38; Jer 3:2 it shall: Jer 9:19, Jer 10:18; Eze 36:12-14 Micah 2:11”

“Such conduct as this must be followed by banishment from the land. Mic 2:10. "Rise up, and go; for this is not the place of rest: because of the defilement which brings destruction, and mighty destruction. Mic 2:11. If there were a man, walking after wind, who would lie deceit, 'I will prophesy to thee of wine and strong drink,' he would be a prophet of this people." The prophet having overthrown in Mic 2:7-9 the objection to his threatening prophecies, by pointing to the sins of the people, now repeats the announcement of punishment, and that in the form of a summons to go out of the land into captivity, because the land cannot bear the defilement consequent upon such abominations. The…”
