About Micah

Micah, a prophet from Judah during the eighth–seventh century BCE, warned about the destruction of both Jerusalem and the Northern Kingdom for their idolatry, social crimes, and corrupt royal and religious leadership. Like his contemporary Isaiah, Micah provided a picture of a utopian future when Israel would live securely under a king descended from David and all peoples would recognize the God of Israel and live in peace. The book concludes with the message that God forgives sins and will maintain his covenant with Israel.
