#263 Micah 1-4

Day 263 of the podcast, reading Micah 1-4 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Micah+1-4/ This is day 263 of our journey. Micah's prophecy concerns Jerusalem and Samaria. The one true Judge is coming and will make his case against all nations. The people of Israel falsely believe that they are exempt from this judgement because they are God's chosen people. Their sins have not gone unnoticed and they must pay the price for their disobedience. They pay false teachers to speak soothing words of comfort and to pronounce blessings, but the lies will not last. Jerusalem will be destroyed because of the wickedness of their leaders. In the midst of this condemnation, however, is the promise that there will come a day when Jerusalem will be restored again. The nations will flock to her for the guidance of the Lord. The land will be at peace and weapons of war will no longer be necessary. God will set up Jerusalem to be a haven for all men. Join me in Micah 1-4 to see God's judgement prepare for deliverance! Key verses: Micah 1:2 Listen, all you nations! Pay attention, all inhabitants of earth! The Sovereign Lord will act as a witness against you; the Lord will accuse you from his majestic palace. Micah 2:10 But you are the ones who will be forced to leave! For this land is not secure! Sin will thoroughly destroy it! Micah 3:12 Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed up like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the Temple Mount will become a hill overgrown with brush! Micah 4:2 Many nations will come, saying,“Come on! Let’s go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the temple of Jacob’s God, so he can teach us his ways and we can live by his laws.” For instruction will proceed from Zion, the Lord’s message from Jerusalem.
