Micah paints a gloomy picture of the society in his day: the rulers demanded gifts, the judges accepted bribes, and the powerful dictated what they desired. On top of that he observed a blatant disrespect for God, the family unity, and for the dignity of life and living. He warned the people of their terrible fate and yet, right in the middle of gloom and doom he spoke a word of...
Through the prophet Micah, God proclaimed the judgment that would come upon the people because they had departed from Him and His ways. They were corrupt, engaging in acts of greed and false worship. God was giving them a warning so that they might turn back to Him. Read more
In Micah 6, God brings His grievance against the people almost as if He is making a legal case. He reminds them of His past deliverances and His goodness to them, but they responded with the wrong attitude. In the face of coming judgment, God still has his hand on His chosen ones, and He is in con...
Micah paints a prophetic portrait of Christ as eternal, everlasting, God incarnate, and ruler, both when He came in the flesh, and when He returns to rule over the whole earth in last days, at the end of time. Although the picture that Micah paints is one of doom and calamity, we should take comfort in the knowledge that God has a plan fo...
Micah juxtaposes the leaders during his time with the Lord of Hosts during the time God establishes His kingdom on earth. While there will be people that will resist the rule of Jesus Christ in His 1000-year reign, there will be people from many nations who will learn from Him and walk in His paths, regardless of their religious background. During Christ's reign, there will be u...
In Micah 3, the prophet focuses on the sins of the nation's leadership. The leaders oppressed the people and allowed lawlessness to run rampant. Though they had the power to turn back to righteousness and law, the leaders loved evil and abhorred judgment....
The prophecies of Micah were addressed to a nation consumed with idolatry and false worship. This is not just a problem of the past, it's been a problem since the beginning of time, and it's reflective of the moral, social, and spiritual decline we're seeing in America today. However, it's not all gloom and doom. We're at a turning point, and the prophecies of Micah give us trem...
The book of Micah contains past warnings for an idolatrous nation and warnings for the future. As believers, we should look at these prophecies in light of today's society and where we're at as a people.

Do not take your salvation for granted and get complacent lest you engage in spiritual pride. It takes vigilance to stay by the stuff. In the Old Testament the children of Israel drifted away repeatedly and much of the church in America today has departed from the ways of God, but there is still t...
A lesson from the Apostle Paul, as someone who once rejected Christ, shows us that we should not get puffed up in our calling as gentiles. God's not done with the Jewish people, and we should not make the mistake of thinking we know who He's going to save. The picture of election by grace shows us...
The prophet Isaiah foretold of Christ, but he also prophesied that there would be people who would not be able to hear and receive the message. The rejection of Christ by the Jews was part of that prophecy, as well as the grace extended to the gentiles who can hear His word. God chooses who He will...
A lot of churches today present the message of "special sinners" or a "special way of salvation" and neither one of those is biblical. None of us are born to desire God, and none of us have "special sins." We're all born with a dark heart. We're all sinners ...
In the book of Romans, Paul looks to the prophet Isaiah's declaration about the children of Israel and proclaims that a remnant shall be saved, but not all. He addresses Jews that thought their salvation was automatic. They could not accept that Christ was the end of the law and that the gentiles could be saved without it. Read more
Why do some Jews still reject Christ? God has the right to choose whom He will save, whom He will show mercy, and whom He will reward. He also has the right to choose whom He will not.
Many of Abraham's seed believed they didn't need salvation because they had the covenants, the promises, and the law. Although they were anticipating a Messiah, they rejected Christ and everything He had to say. Paul makes it clear as to "why" in the book of Romans: not all Israel is of Israel. So...
Not all the Jews rejected Christ, but many of the spiritual leaders were against Him because they had no spiritual discernment and they perceived Him as a threat to their position. There were also many people who only followed Jesus for self-serving reasons. The rejection of Christ was foretold b...
God has a plan for the future of the land of Israel, when He will reunite the people of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. But we must also understand the history that shaped Judaism from the time of the exile to the fall of Jerusalem. Read more
The ugly picture that God paints through the prophecies of Ezekiel helps us to understand just how low the children of Israel, specifically the southern kingdom of Judah, had fallen before they were carried into Babylonian captivity. They also show us God's perfect plan for the future restoration of Israel, both northern and southern king...
The practices and identity of the Jewish people began to crystallize after their return from exile in Babylon. They began to strictly enforce the law and to separate themselves from the ways of the foreigners who ruled over them. This period also saw the addition of new laws and holidays, which th...
The Jewish identity and practices of Judaism did not begin to emerge until after the return from Babylonian captivity. Although the priesthood had maintained certain practices and preserved the Hebrew tongue, most of the population had forgotten these things. During this time there were waves of ...
