You asked for 'a prophecy' and that is what I gave you.You are back to quote mining. That is picking the hits and ignoring the misses. Please stop. That is not a valid way to use a book. And please note that since we are discussing your beliefs you are not limited to the Bible. But it does appear that you are misusing it. The verse that you use could be used for anyone that went from Assyria to Israel. It is far to vague to be of any use as a "prophecy" when you quote mine in this fashioin.
I cannot post the entire chapter and explain what all of it means and it is unnecessary, because people can go and read the Bible for themselves if they want to understand how the prophecy fits in the context of the chapter.Bring up your prophesies one at a time and we will see if there is any substance to them after putting them through that filter.
I explained in my last post why the verse could not apply to 'anyone' who also claimed to be the Messiah. If you look only at that one verse Micah 7:12, out of the context of the whole chapter, "he" could apply to anyone who traveled that route, but that is irrelevant because "he" refers to the Messiah since that chapter is about the Messiah.
In Micah 7 verses 7-10, he says he will look to the Lord, because man has failed (which he described in verses 1-6).
7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Verse 7 is a lead-in to verses 11-20, which are about the Lord, the Lord of Hosts who will come in the Person of the Messiah. Micah describes what will happen in that day. All these things happened in the days of Baha’u’llah.
11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
The decree was removed in 1844:
Edict of Toleration 1844
An edict of toleration is a declaration, made by a government or ruler and states, that members of a given religionwill not be persecuted for engaging in their religious practices and traditions. The edict implies tacit acceptance of the religion rather than its endorsement by the ruling power.

Verse 12 describes where the Messiah will come from and go to:
12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Verses 13-20 describe what the lands looked like and what the Messiah would do.
13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
