The prophet Micah was a younger contemporary of Isaiah and spoke at a time when conditions in Judah paralleled those in the northern kingdom of Israel
during the days of Amos. Micah’s prophecies are strikingly similar to those of Amos: many of the same sins are denounced and the same courageous, direct, and convincing language is used. While announcing
God’s certain judgment upon sin, Micah also spoke of a sure deliverance to come through the Messiah whose place of birth he predicts (Micah 5:2).
