Micah was a prophet during a period of total spiritual depravity when Judah and Israel were headed for destruction. Micah means, “Who is like God?” Born into a poor family in Moresheth, south of Judah the prophet was aware of the social injustices that were happening.

Corruption, immorality, and hypocrisy were the pillars of the religious and political system of the time, just as the are today.

The cause for the destruction of the people is the cause of society’s ruin today . The prophet’s messages were intended not only for Israel and judah, but for all of us.

Divine judgment is the main theme addressed in the book, but it also speaks of the coming restoration of God’s people after their repentance. There is no way to remain indifferent after hearing this magnificent revelation
