GOD'S PROPHETS WARNED

mICAH 5:1-5 ; 6:6-8 ; 7:8-9, 18-20

 

Key Concept:

Though there is a future judgment, there is also a future hope.

During the reigns of Judah's kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, God sent the prophet Micah with a message for both Israel and Judah. Micah spoke the word of the Lord and foretold the judgment, destruction, and exile that was coming for both Israel and Judah. Both kingdoms had failed to keep the Lord's covenant and would continue to do so, with a few exceptions from Judah's kings, such as Hezekiah and Josiah. But Micah also had a message for the future, a message of hope and restoration. Micah prophesied that the Messiah-King would come to shepherd God's people in righteousness forever.

As you examine Micah 5:1-5 ; 6:6-8 ; 7:8-9, 18-20:

 

✞   Emphasize God's desire for His people to act justly, to love 

    faithfulness, and to walk humbly with Him.

     

✞   Recognize that disobedience results in judgment, but God's

    grace and mercy abound as well.
