Prophet Information:
Micah, according to the Book of the Bee he was of the tribe of Ephraim and was slain by Joram the son of Ahab
Mission/Message:
Micah switches between messages of doom and messages of hope. His message also declares that there will be a Messiah from the line of David.
Documentation:
The author is unknown but believed to be Micah himself. The writings bear some resemblance to that of Isaiah with the difference being that Micah had less knowledge of Jerusalem
Best known for:
-Prediction of the capture of Samaria
Attributes of his personality:
Micah was an opinionated observer of the society around him, and he spent time pointing out how God hates idolatry, injustice, rebellion and ritualism. His prophecies show both tenderness, but they also show threatening language.
Supernatural Aspects:
It is mention how the “word of God” came to him. His prophecies follow the format of pointing out social injustices followed by what the Lord had to say about it, so he must have been able to speak with God.
Examples of prophecies:
-The destruction of Samaria
-The prediction of the Messiah and the birthplace where he would be born
End Times Prophecies:
-In Chapter two, it mentions that when the church will not prophesy, that there will be someone called “the breaker” who will be broken away from the church yet devoted to God and that he will become a leader that will lead people out of spiritual confusion to avoid destruction. Interestingly enough, if you link this with predictions of Daniel who mentions a Michael (of which has several meanings: ‘Who is like God?’ The name also means ‘leadership’). Could the Michael and ‘the breaker’ be one in the same?
