MICAH
MICAH : Micah said that God is coming to earth, speaking of the "last
days" -- the future around his time (or even
possibly yet to come now):
- "...The law will go out from Zion, the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem (i.e, Jerusalem will rule in the
end)..." (Micah 4:2)
- "...They will beat their swords into plowshares and
their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not take up
sword against nation, nor will they train for war
anymore." (Micah 4:3; note similarity to Isaiah 2:4)
- "In that day...I will gather the lame...the
exiles...those I have brought to grief...The Lord will
rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and
forever." (Micah 4:6-7).
Micah refers to the Messiah:
- "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small
among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for Me One
who will be Ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of
old, from ancient times (or -- from days of
eternity)." (Micah 5:2).
- "...His greatness will reach to the ends of the
earth. And He will be their peace." (Micah 5:4-5).
Micah says that all God wants of man is: "To act justly
and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
(Micah 6:8)
