Micah was a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah. Both of them ministered to the people of Judah, Southern kingdom at a time of prosperity. Micah spent time caring for the poor, victims of injustice & gave warnings of the coming destruction. Isaiah dealt mostly with the King's courts, rebuking immorality & idolatry. So there was religion but there's no righteous living. There was ritualistic religion, but no righteous living.

But there's always a promise of restoration, hope, & peace. Micah wrote of Nations shall not lift up swords against nations, neither shall there be war anymore (4:3). And the prophecy in (5:2) about the ruler in Israel that will come forth, the everlasting Kingdom is Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem.

May we learn to remember and help the poor, do it quietly. God requires us to do justice, to love mercy, & to walk humbly with Him. That's Christianity. May you know your God. Be like Him, reflect Him.
