    Sep 16 2024

    We are starting the second cycle of doom and hope which means chapter 3 ends ends on a downer.

    In this chapter Micah is calling out the religious leaders for their sins and explains what God is going to do to them. God will make sure the punishment will fit the crime.

  • #209 - Unpacking the Courtroom Drama in Micah 2
    Sep 9 2024

    Send us a text

    In chapter one we learned that Lady Samaria and Lady Jerusalem are on trial for a breach in the covenant.

    In chapter two Micah is bringing specific examples of the breach. However, this chapter will also end the first cycle of doom and hope.

    Once again we referenced episode 92 (1 Kings 21 - Ahab and Jezebel), episode 148 (an overview of all the prophets), and episode 168 (the Davidic covenant).
