Psalms: 70, 76

Meditation

Micah: Micah is one of very few prophets addressing himself to both Israel (the “Northern Kingdom” or the 10 tribes) and Judah (& Benjamin) in the south during the late 8^th century B.C. (That may date the writing to somewhere around 725 B.C.) He has nothing good to say to either party. While Judah yet had a few good kings to follow Hezekiah, it has become a matter of “too little, too late”. Both kingdoms have passed the “point of no return”. As foretold in Deuteronomy, God will abandon them (Deut. 28:15-29:1)
