An Overview of The Bible
The Book of Micah
• Micah was a contemporary of ISAIAH
• In the Bible, we always have HOPE on the other side of judgment.
SECTION 1 Chapters 1-2: Micah’s accusations and warnings against ISRAEL
• Israel’s leaders are becoming wealthy though THEFT.
• Israel’s prophets are taking BRIBES
SECTION 2 Chapters 3-4: Israel runs the land through BRIBERY and corruption
• Both sections of judgment conclude with HOPE
SECTION 3 Chapters 4-5 Expounds on JUDGMENT and Hope
• Even though there will be EXILE, God would bring his people back to their land
SECTION 4 Chapters 6-7: WARNING followed by hope
—> ACT justly
—> LOVE faithfulness
—> WALK humbly with your God
• Why would God listen to an utterly faithless people?
1. Because of God’s CHARACTER
2. Because of God’s PROMISES
• God’s purpose in judgment is not to destroy, but to save and redeem those who will trust in Him.
