MICAH BIBLE STUDY CHAPTER TWO

WOE TO THOSE WHO PLAN INIQUITY. 
​
Micah pronounces doom and misery on the people who were using their power and influence to take advantage of others in order to reach their own selfish aims. 

  1. These were wealthy landowners who either bought or stole farms and houses; they did not hesitate to cheat and deceive others in order to gain more property. They were so consumed with greed that they did not care about the suffering they caused others. 
  2. God had a plan for them: they would be treated just at they had treated others. God would send Assyria to take their land away and carry them into captivity. 
  3. We must be careful not to become greedy and mistreat others - especially in an effort to get more money or possessions. 
​DO NOT PROPHESY. 
Judah's false prophets were criticizing Micah for bringing a message of judgement (Isaiah 30:10). 
  1. They rejected his prophecy of gloom and doom (sadness and destruction). They insisted that God's people would never suffer shame and disgrace because God was God of love and forgiveness, and not anger. 
  2. Their optimistic message gave the people a false sense of security and allowed them to continue neglecting God's laws and standard. 
  3. Sometimes the church today gets so caught up with the positive message of God's love, mercy and forgiveness that it ignores His righteous standards and expectation for holiness (moral purity, spiritual integrity and separation from evil, Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16). A church that overlooks or tolerates deliberate or willful sin among its people should listen again to the clear message of both the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament church leaders (1 Corinthians 5-6).
WINE AND BEER 
​
Micah was mocking the people by saying anyone could gain a following if they promised prosperity and plenty of intoxicating drink for everyone who wanted it. His words were meant to cut through their foolish thinking. They were eagerly accepting false prophets who only predicted "positive" things. Today there are still pastors who refuse to warn God's people about the consequences of adopting the ungodly social customs of the society in which they live. ​
​THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL.
​
Micah adds a word of hope be announcing that God would spare a remnant - a small portion of faithful people - from Israel and Judah, who would return to the promised land following their time in Elie (Isaiah 6:13; 10:20; 17:7). The land would again be filled with the quick and hurried activity of people going about their daily business. (2 Kings 15:29; 17:5; 24:1).
​Reflection Question:
  • What do those who abuse their power do? 
  • How should we respond to them?
  • What promises does the Lord make?

    ​All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
