Micah 1



Micah  1

Micah is a prophet God used to warn Israel and Judah, the northern and southern kingdom of Israel about their treacherous behavior.  Israel was a nation called by God.  They knew what God wanted and refused to take heed.  God sent Micah along with other prophets to tell them to Stop!
Israel looks a lot like our religious world today.  If I did not know when this message was written, I could say that it is the news of our religious structure currently.
The government and the priest of Israel were corrupt.  Brides were a way of life.  They took advantage of the weak and prostituted themselves and still said they represented God.  God gave them detail and strong warnings to stop.  But they refused.  Now God is telling them what they did to others will be turned upon them.  
The governments in both Israel and Judah were responsible for the decision of the people.
God warned them that they would be given the same deadly outcome in their own lives if they did not stop.  But anyone who survive the Day of the Lord,  ( The Day of the Lord is a terrible day of wrath) would be safe and return back to their homeland after a 70 year exile.

Brendaonline.com 149  Praise ye the  Lord . Sing unto the  Lord  a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. In God's house, He wants His lyrics known. What is a new song?  A new song is a song of me finding out more about Him.  There is always a new song when you live as God said then sing about Him. 2  Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let the people of God that know who He is, be happy!  A good attitude in us, expresses that we are praisers. 3  Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. People who know God will:  praise Him in the dance.  They will sing!  They will praise Him with instruments. 4  For the  Lord  taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. The Lord is pleased with His people.  He will make His own people look like they belong to Him. 5  Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Our h
