Micah

Facts:

Micah was a prophet of Judah around 700 years before Christ, when the prophet Isaiah was also ministering to Judah. Another man named Micah lived during the time of the judges.

  • The book of Micah is near the end of the Old Testament.
  • Micah prophesied about the destruction of Samaria by the Assyrians.
  • Micah rebuked the people of Judah for disobeying God and warned them that their enemies would attack them.
  • His prophecy ends with a message of hope in God, who is faithful and saves his people.
  • In the book of Judges, the story is told of a man named Micah living in Ephraim who made an idol out of silver. A young Levite priest who came to live with him stole the idol and other things, and took off with a group of Danites. Eventually the Danites and the priest settled in the city of Laish and they set up that same silver idol to worship.
