Introducing The Minor prophets – Bible Study Guidebook: Micah
The Prophet Micah is the sixth book in this Bible study series 'Spotlight On
The Minor Prophets'. Why are these giants of the scriptures called ‘Minor’? Simply because their books are typically short, and nothing at all to do with the importance of their individual messages, or indeed the impact they had on the listeners.
Main lesson – The Lord God hates injustice, corruption, false dealing as much as he hates the worship of false idols and the manipulation of his statutes and laws to suit our own ends !
The leaders of Micah’s time were doing just that, they twisted the laws of the land to suit themselves, and no doubt called it piety !
Jesus condemned the same attitude in the pharasees – the religious leaders of his time.
These are not intended to be in-depth bible studies as such; but instead an introduction or summary of the Prophets, their times and influences both then and today. These short bible studies of the Old Testament Prophets are intended for individual or group use, and I have found them useful for encouraging debate and conversation, on all the topics that affected the peoples at that time; and now affect ourselves in today’s world.
Job states that “As sure as sparks fly upwards, Man is born to trouble”. The social and economic troubles that the ancients faced are the same ones as we face now. It has been said that “if we do not learn from our mistakes, then we are doomed to repeat them”. Perhaps it’s time to listen to their problems and see what The Lord had to say through his spokesmen – whom we know as the ‘Minor Prophets’.
