Gilbert House Fellowship #486: Micah 1–2

The ruling elites of ancient Israel were compared to cannibals eating the flesh of those they were supposed to protect.

We continue with the prophet Micah’s polemic against ancient Israel’s ruling class, who apparently took advantage of the poor and downtrodden. For that reason, God told Micah to prophesy a day of judgment that would bring destruction on the rich and powerful.

Because Micah used the phrase, “in that day,” we view this as an “already but not yet” prophecy—one that was fulfilled when Assyria conquered the northern Kingdom in 722 BC, and will be fulfilled again in the last days.
