Micah describes the destruction of Samaria and then Jerusalem. Micah prophesies that when the gate of Jerusalem is destroyed, the people will step over it and go out into the nations. They will go out as sheep without a shepherd, only to find their shepherd in exile and return to an exalted mountain. When they return, it will be a time of plenty when each person is able to reach out and take their sustenance from the land. The nations will come back and feed with Israel, rallying around this one shepherd who has been listening to God’s voice all along. 

He will stand and shepherd his flock
    in the strength of the LORD,
    in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness
    will reach to the ends of the earth. 
Micah 5:4 NIV

What we’ll discover in Micah (and other prophets) is that the need for a Divine Shepherd is the result of being misled by unjust shepherd-leaders.
