MICAH 2

WARNING AGAINST WICKEDNESS

Micah warns against those who devise evil schemes and oppress the poor. Greed and wickedness have taken over Israel and God will no longer tolerate the sin of His people. Many opposed Micah with false confidence in God, stating that God would never run out of patience or grace for the Israelites. Although the Israelites take pride in being God’s people, they do not follow His law or worship Him alone.

God’s grace and patience is shown towards the faithful remnant of Israelites who worship God alone and follow His commands. God provides for those who draw near to Him, but Israel is unaware of their own inequity. God’s response to both the faithful and the rebellious show how He can be both just and merciful in unison.
