"So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy" - Romans 9:16
Micah 6:1-8, 13-16; 7:7-9, 18-20
Micah uses the imagery of a courtroom in chapter 6 to present the dispute that the LORD has with Israel because of their sins. The LORD asks how He has wronged Israel and they respond with offers of insincere religious activity. In chapter 7, however, Micah expresses his trust that the LORD will show mercy, forgiveness, and restoration to His people after the time of judgment has passed.
Micah 4:1-7; 5:2-4, 7-9
In our focal verses in chapters 4 and 5, Micah writes of the LORD’s promises to Israel that will be fulfilled in Christ’s millennial kingdom. The nations of the world will finally be at peace with one another as they come to worship the LORD in Jerusalem. The LORD will permanently regather Israel to dwell safely in their land, in contrast to the worldwide rise in anti-Semitism that we see today.
Micah 1:1-9; 2:1-3, 6-8, 12, 13
Micah’s prophesies came at a time when the LORD’s judgment on Israel using Assyrian conquerors was nearing and Judah’s judgment was also on the horizon. In the first two chapters, Micah describes the LORD as coming forward as a witness of the people’s sins, describing both them and the judgment that He will be bringing against them. However, the LORD also promises blessings for the remnant that He will save.
