The Lord will be king

Micah 4
Within the first sentance of this capter the phrase 'in the last days' is used. This describes the days when God will reign over this world and there will be peace and love, no more hate or wars. Obviously Micah doesnt tell us the exact time or date of this (if we all new that people would become christians the day before. There would be a mass revival [which sounds cool!] but it wouldnt be for the right reasons!).
Even though we dont know when it will happen, God has promised it will happen.
For more evidence of this see.... Isiah 2:2; Jeremiah 16:14&15; Daniel 8:19; Joel 3:1; Zechariah 14:9-11; Malachi 3:17&18; Revelation 19-22.
I know there seems like a lot of verses there, but I encourage you to check them out.
Verses 9-13 speak of Micah's prophecy of the nations captivity by Babylonia in 586 BC (this prophecy was given before Babylon was a powerful empire!)
Just as God promises a time of love and peace and good times, He also promises judgement and punishment and smiting for those who choose not to follow Him.
As christians these are two things we know for certain.
Love you x
