Micah
Purpose: To warn God's people
that judgment is coming and to offer pardon to all who repent.
Blueprint: Micah emphasized
the need for justice and peace. Like a lawyer, he set forth God's case against
Israel and Judah, their leaders, and their people. Throughout the book are
prophecies about Jesus, the Messiah, who will gather the people into one
nation. He will be their king and ruler, acting mercifully toward them. Micah
makes it clear that God hates unkindness, idolatry, injustice, and empty ritual
-- and he still hates these today. But God is very willing to pardon the sins
of any who repent.
