It is thought that Micah was written 3000 years ago in the year 710 BC.
Bro. Rene sums up the Prophecy of Micah p.251 in the Berean 2011 as, Why do we read these things?
1. We read these things because they are the eternal Word of God to man--the one tangible thing we can hold in our hands that connects us to eternity.
2. We read them because these things are written for our admonition, our instruction, our training, and development in godliness.
3. We read these thing to fill our minds and hearts and thoughts with the wholesome and pure and exalted things of the Spirit, and thus to become spiritually-minded, which is life and peace--and to clear out of our minds all the natural little pots and pans rubbish of the passing present.
4. We read these things that, through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope--hope and joy in a hopeless and joyless world.
5. We read these things because this is our one precious lifeline of Light to keep us from sinking in the dark, dead ocean of the world.
