The Rev. Doug Griebenaw, pastor and Mission Advocate at KFUO Radio, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Micah 2.

The prophet continues his condemnation of injustice and social oppression prevalent in Israel. Through Micah, God denounces those who devise evil schemes and exploit the vulnerable, warning of the judgment that awaits them for their greed and cruelty. The chapter highlights how the powerful were confiscating land, displacing families, and disregarding God's principles of justice and compassion. Micah underscores that their actions will lead to their downfall and the loss of their ill-gotten gains.

Micah, one of the few prophets of his time still faithful to God in Israel, rebukes the societal injustices of the Israelites and pronounces judgment on the wickedness of the religious and political leaders of the time. Notably, Micah is the prophet who foretells that the future messianic ruler will be born in Bethlehem. Jesus not only fulfilled that prophecy, but he embodies Micah's call for justice, mercy, and humility, bringing restoration and reconciliation through his life, death, and resurrection.
