The vision of the Lord came to me, "read the times of Micah, from which you will understand my will and my calling for Singapore." The Lord said when the economy seemed to be flourishing, and the churches seemed to grow in strength and profile.... "I will do a new thing!" The Lord said I will renew and reinvent Singapore and raise him up." Singapore will be the chief mountain of mountains. Micah's prophecy was directed towards the nation Israel. However, Singapore share the same blessings with Israel through Christ. If we would heed the prophetic message of Micah today, we would share its blessings. If we do not, we would suffer the same fate as Israel during those days.
And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be established as the chief of the mountains.
It will be raised above the hills,
And the peoples will stream to it. Micah 4:1.
The Lord said, "Look, I have already made Singapore an economic and financial centre of Asia." Indeed, people from surrounding nations, even people from the west are streaming into Singapore. The Lord said, I will do a greater thing! Singapore will have a culture of its own not like the culture of Korea or Japan. The Lord said that Singapore will take on the culture of the righteousness of God. The righteousness of God will be Singapore's source of wealth and prosperity. Although it does not possess the natural resources like that of the surrounding nations. Although it does not possess the cultural legacy of Korea or Japan. Although it does not possess the shrewdness of the Jewish people or the creativity of the west. But Singapore will possess the righteousness of God, and God Himself will be Singapore's inheritance.
Many nations will come and say,
“ Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord
And to the house of the God of Jacob,
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For from Zion will go forth the law,
Even the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Micah 4:2
Then the Lord said, "I will use you Singapore to be my mouthpiece, to bring the culture of righteousness to the nations. The nations will recognize that its not by the resources in the ground, or the resources of talents or violence, but the resources that comes from righteousness that you will be prospered." Singapore is now an educational centre not only at a academic tertiary level, but at governmental level. Nations are sending their leaders to observe the ways, its social welfare systems and the culture of Singapore. The Singapore educational system has much to learn from the west, but it is growing at a rapid rate.
And He will judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, distant nations.
Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation,
And never again will they train for war. Micah 4:3
The Lord said, "I will use Singapore as a peacemaker and mediator for the nations. Singapore will be an instrument of peace, a catalyst of peace and prosperity in the region. Her views are seen to be wise and objective. Her wisdom are respected and sought after even by western nations." Nations will turn from their radical views because they have seen Singapore's prosperity and have given them much hope. They will lay down their racial and religious differences to focus on renewing their minds and hearts according to the righteous ways of God.
