Time Span: About 25 years.
Title: From the book’s author, Micah. This name means “who is like Yahweh.”
Background: Micah is a prophet of the common people (rugged, direct, and convincing) from the prominent Judean city of Moresheth, about 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem. Micah’s ministry spans the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. These are turbulent times of great oppression, corruption, and exploitation. Israel and Judah are deep in sin, despite their wealth, and Micah’s message of imminent judgment on them is neither pleasant nor popular.
Where Written: Judah.
To Whom: To both Israel and Judah.
Content: Micah’s message is directed against the sins of the people in Jerusalem and Samaria, the capitals of Judah and Israel. The corrupt rulers, false prophets, ungodly priests, and cheating merchants are the main reasons for God’s judgment coming against the nations. But in the midst of prophesying their destruction, Micah prophesies the birth of the Messiah in Beth-lehem (5:2)—700 years before Jesus Christ is born. This once insignificant village now gains eternal prominence. God also reveals through Micah these promises: a remnant will remain; He will gather His own from all the ends of the earth, and Zion will be restored.
Key Words: “Justice”; “Mercy”; “Humility.”
Micah’s repeated and emphatic cry is for the people of God to show “justice” in all their dealings, to love “mercy” by showing the same to others, and to walk in “humility” with their God (6:8).
Themes: • God gives warnings so we will not have to suffer His wrath. • Judgment is certain if God’s warnings are not heeded. • God disciplines us because He loves us. • God knows that sin destroys, and He wants us to be whole. • God’s promise of restoration awaits those who remain true to Him.
