MICAH 3

MICAH ADDRESSES ISRAEL’S LEADERS + FALSE PROPHETS 

Micah shifts from addressing the entire nation to addressing the leaders and false prophets of Israel. Micah confronts the leaders for accepting bribes and failing to enact justice. Because of their greed and evildoing, God will no longer answer the cries of Israel.

Micah proclaims that he is filled with God’s spirit, which gives him justice, might, and power to proclaim the news of Israel's demise. God will cause disaster upon Jerusalem and the temple leaving it dilapidated like a pile of rubble.

Micah 3:8 - But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.
