Excerpt from The Minor Prophets, Vol. 2: With a Commentary Explanatory and Practical, and Introductions to the Several Books; Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi
Micah, according to the title which he prefixed to his prophecy, was called to the prophetic ofiice somewhat later than Isaiah. His ministry began later, and ended earlier. For Uzziah, in whose reign Isaiah began to prophesy, was dead before Micah was called to his office and Micah probably was called away early in the reign of Hezekiah, where as some of the chief public acts of Isaiah's ministry fell in the 17th and 18th years of the reign of Hezekiah. Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, had doubtless been withdrawn to their rest. Hosea alone, in grey-haired might, was still protesting in vain against the deepening corruptions of Israel.
The contents of Micah's prophecy and his relation to Isaiah agree with the inscription. His prophecy has indications of the times of J otham, perhaps also of those of Ahaz; one signal prophecy, we know historically, was uttered in the reign of Hezekiah.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the profound prophecies delivered by Micah, a prophet who emerged during a pivotal period in Judah's history. Micah's prophecies, spanning the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, provide profound insights into the spiritual, social, and political landscape of ancient Judah. The author delves into the historical context of Micah's ministry, examining the religious, moral, and political challenges that confronted the people of Judah. Micah's prophecies emerge as a powerful indictment of the rampant idolatry, oppression, and injustice that had permeated society, offering a clarion call for repentance and a return to God's laws. Through an analysis of Micah's poetic and evocative language, the book explores the prophet's vivid descriptions of God's wrath against those who have forsaken His covenant. However, the book also highlights Micah's messages of hope and restoration, predicting a future time when Jerusalem would become a beacon of God's presence and a source of blessing for all nations. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Micah's prophecies and their enduring relevance for contemporary religious thought and practice. It offers a nuanced exploration of Micah's profound insights into the nature of sin, judgment, and redemption, making it an indispensable read for biblical scholars, theologians, and all those interested in the rich tapestry of prophetic literature.
