In this video, we continue our study of the prophets with an Overview of the Prophet Micah. We explore how the Book of Micah is presented like a legal case—a lawsuit that God is bringing against Israel and Judah for breaching their covenant.
Micah prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, around the same time as Hosea and Isaiah. We dive into:
- God’s Lawsuit: How the Lord calls on the mountains and hills as witnesses against His people.
- Accusations of Corruption: From leaders who "eat God's people" to false prophets who preach only for pay.
- The Prophecy of Christ: The famous prediction that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.
- What God Requires: A look at the heart of Micah’s message: "to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God".
- Hope and Forgiveness: The beautiful promise that God will cast our sins into the depths of the sea.
Join us as we see a powerful picture of God's justice and His even greater delight in mercy.
