Micah 3 & 4 - Hear Now!

 

Micah 3 – Hear Now!

 

Because of their sins, the nation disobeyed God and eventually had to be judged (Lam. 2:14;4:13).

 

Instead of caring for the people, the leaders treated them like animals and devoured them. But the day would come when those leaders would cry out to God and He would not answer them.

 

Instead of guiding the flock in God’s paths, they led them astray with their message of false peace. Their deception would be followed by darkness, and they would have no hope.

 

Instead of building the city on the law of the Lord, they broke the law and built with bloodshed. They wanted to get more money (I Tim 6:9-10). But everything they built would be torn down, and their money would be useless to them.

 

A true leader protects the people, guides them in God’s will, and serves without thought of personal gain.

 

Micah 4 – Four Pictures

 

Even though Jerusalem would be destroyed by Babylon, one day the city would become the capital of the kingdom. It will be a time of peace when all men will want to learn about the Lord and walk in His ways.

 

The Lord will gather His flock (the remnant) and care for the lame and afflicted. Their Shepherd will be their king, and He will reign in righteousness.

 

As the pregnant woman must deliver the child, so Judah must be taken captive to Babylon. It would be a time of pain, but it would eventually bring blessing. God promised to deliver them and restore them. Birth.

 

The day will come when God’s people defeat their enemies who seek to destroy them. It will be like the threshing of grain, and the harvest will be given to the Lord.
