Albert Barnes Commentary Micah 7:15

"As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto them marvellous things." — Micah 7:15 (ASV)

According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt - God answers the prayer, beginning with its closing words. Micah had prayed, “Turn Your people like the days of old”; God answers, “like the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt.” Micah had said, in the name of his people, “I shall behold His Righteousness”; God answers, “I will make him behold marvelous things.”

The phrase “marvelous things” was used for God’s great marvels in the physical world (Job 5:9; Job 37:5, 14), or the marvelous mercies of His Providence toward individuals or nations (Psalms 9:2; Psalms 26:7; Psalms 71:17; Psalms 72:18, etc.). It was especially used for those great miracles accumulated at the deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 3:20; Judges 6:13; Nehemiah 9:17; Psalms 78:4, 11, 32; Psalms 105:2, 5; Psalms 106:7, 22) and the entrance into the promised land, which was its completion.

The reference to the Exodus must have led them to think of actual miracles, since, concerning the Exodus, it is used of nothing else. But there were no miracles at the return from the captivity. A Psalmist of the returned people said, When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. The Lord hath done great things for us; we are glad (Psalms 126:1, 3). Great things, yes, but not miraculous.

The promise, then, kept the people looking onward until He came, a prophet mighty in word and deed (Luke 24:19), concerning whom Peter appealed to the people that He was approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know (Acts 2:22).

He also gave to those who believed in Him power to do greater works than He did (John 14:12), through His own power, because He went to His Father.

And when they believed, He showed to him—namely, to the whole people gathered into the one Church, Jew and Gentile—yet more marvelous things, things in every way more marvelous and beyond nature than those of old, the unsearchable riches of Christ, the mystery which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God (Ephesians 3:8–9).
