Micah 5:6-9: “And he [Jehovah] will certainly bring about deliverance from the Assyrian [the world power of Assyria], when he comes into our land and when he treads upon our territory. And the remaining ones of Jacob must become in the midst of many peoples like dew from Jehovah, like copious showers upon vegetation, that does not hope for man or wait for the sons of earthling man.

9. However, has the remnant had to wait until after Jehovah gains the victory at Har–Magedon before becoming like a “dew” and like a “maned young lion” with respect to peoples of the nations?

⁹ However, the remnant of spiritual Israelites have not had to wait until after the “war of the great day of God the Almighty” at Har–Magedon in order to be as a “dew” of refreshment to people seeking to worship “the God of Jacob” at his spiritual temple. (Rev. 16:14, 16)

On the other side of the matter, those anointed announcers of God’s kingdom have been like a refreshing “dew” to the sheeplike people who have felt like parched, dried-up “vegetation.”
