Micah 2

Micah 2:12

"Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people:] I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from among men through the breach made before them:"
Is Micah 2:12 a false prophecy about the return from exile?

> Micah 2:12 I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people.

This prophecy is sometimes declared false because those taken into exile from Israel by Assyria allegedly never returned. However, the prediction is not to the people then alive, but to "Israel" the corporate entity. It is fulfilled if any members of the nation return, and that indeed happened.
