Like the first redemption of Israel out of Egypt, where the LORD was exalted above all so-called gods, in the future deliverance (of ethnic Israel) God reveals His grace and compassion, which is the grace of the gospel of Yeshua the Messiah when the remnant of Israel shall be saved at the End of the Age. Note that the words here resemble the thirteen attributes of mercy given in Exod. 34:6-7 , which reveal the meaning of the Name YHVH after the dreadful sin of the golden calf... In the same way, ethnic Israel will come to understand the love and forgiveness of God given in the gospel after the long period of spiritual exile. The passage from Micah continues: "He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old" ( Micah 7:19-20 ).

In reference to the Name El ( אֵל ), the prophet Micah does not refer to the One "who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in it" ( Exod. 20:11 ) nor to the One "who counts the number of the stars and calls them all by name" ( Psalm 147:4 ), etc., but rather to the One who forgives and who delights to restore what is broken by means of His mercy and love. The work of redemption is greater even than the work of creation.
