THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 1, Introduction and Chapter 1 The Prophet Micah lived, prophesied, and wrote in the 8th century B.C. That century was one of much prophetic activity. It was the century of Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Jonah, with Micah living in final third of the 8th, and…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 2, Chapter 1 Continued To continue our study of Micah chapter 1, I want to first quote something from the Gospel accounts to use as an illustration. CJB Mark 2:5-11 5 Seeing their trust, Yeshua said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 3, Chapters 1 and 2 We have just a couple more verses to go before we conclude Micah chapter 1, and transition to chapter 2. Perhaps this is good time, then, to put what we have read and examined to this point in a context…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 4, Chapter 2 Continued We paused at Micah chapter 2, verse 6. Let’s reflect on what we have learned so far. The previous 5 verses were a unit that together formed an oracle of woe. The woe is that divine justice is being delivered, with…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 5, Chapter 3 The words of Micah chapter 3 are some of the most distressing that can be read in not just the book, but the entire Old Testament. They bring sadness, righteous anger, but also a message that we, today, absolutely must hear… yet…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 6, Chapters 3 and 4 When last we met, we ended with Micah 3 verse 8, and I used Isaiah 11:1 – 5 to help us to get the gist of what Micah was claiming about himself, in that he is a true prophet who…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 7, Chapter 4 In our previous lesson, we closed at Micah chapter 4 verse 2. This has to be one of the most important, inspiring, hopeful, and yet provocative passages in the entire Old Testament. It is: CJB Micah 4:2 Many Gentiles will go and…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 8, Chapters 4 and 5 Last time we paused at verse 10 of Micah chapter 4. So far, chapter 4 has revealed that two empires are going to invade Israel and conquer them. Remembering that in Micah’s day Israel was no longer a unified nation…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 9, Chapter 5 We were studying verse 2 of Micah chapter 5 last time but didn’t complete all it has to tell us. So, to begin we’ll re-read the entire chapter so that we have all the needed context to be unpack it. RE-READ MICAH…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 10, Chapters 5 and 6 At the end of our previous Micah lesson, we had just begun to look at chapter 5 verse 9. That’s where we’ll start now. Before we read more in Micah, however, I’ll set the context that chapter 5 verses 9…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 11, Chapter 6 I’ll begin today with discussing some things to help make our Bible study and our application of what we learn more effective. One of the greater challenges we face as God worshippers seeking to study His Word, is putting aside the way…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 12, Chapter 6 Continued Micah chapter 6 verses 1-8 make us witness to a biblically historical oddity: a confrontation between God and Israel concerning their covenant failures, and who between the two parties is to blame. This narrative is mixed with poetry. Without doubt verse…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 13, Chapter 7 My wife and I were in Germany a couple of years ago, touring. I engaged in an interesting conversation with our quite knowledgeable tour guide, and the topic turned to WWII and how the German people managed to face the atrocities their…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 14, Chapter 7 Continued Yehoveh has shown Himself through His Word and through His Creation to be a God of order. Therefore, cycles and patterns quickly appear in everything we can see from the visible Universe to the way our Earth operates predictably in every…

THE BOOK OF MICAH Lesson 15, Chapter 7 Conclusion END We left off at Micah 7:11 & 12 last time. It read: CJB Micah 7:11-12 11 That will be the day for rebuilding your walls, a day for expanding your territory, 12 a day when [your] people will come [back]…
