Micah

Portrait of Micah

Serving as a voice from the rural regions of Judah during a time of moral decay, Micah boldly confronted the injustices perpetrated by the nation's leaders and religious figures alike. His prophecies not only warned of impending judgment but also illuminated the path to redemption by foretelling the birth of the Messiah in the humble town of Bethlehem, a promise that would echo through the ages as a beacon of hope. In this way, Micah's words underscore the enduring call for justice, mercy, and humble walking with God, weaving his message into the larger tapestry of God's redemptive plan for humanity.

Key Passages

Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly

Micah 6:6-8

W6herewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Bethlehem Prophecy

Micah 5:2-4

B2ut thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. 4 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
