AUTHORSHIP: "Who is like the Lord?" is the meaning of the name, Micah. With Amos, Hosea, and Isaiah, Micah was an 8th century prophet. Micah's home was Moresheth-gath, (Ch. 1:14), in the lowlands of Judea some twenty miles southwest of Jerusalem.
DATE: 740 - 729 BC.

He attacked the religious indifference of his time and rang out the judgment of God, immorality, and corruption of the cities.

PROPHECY: Micah sees beyond the fault of Israel in the exile of Judah to the incarnation of the Messiah and to the blessings of the millennial kingdom. As the prophecy ends, he marvels at the grace of God who forgives the sins of His people and restores the glory to Israel.
