Prophecy Divided Into Two If Not Three Sections Here Below
The prophecy of Micah, like all the rest, has its own distinctive properties, though falling into the general current of testimony to Israel, and so far with the others different from the prophecy of Jonah, which was last before us. On the surface, we can see a strong resemblance between Micah’s line of things and that of the prophet Isaiah. On the other hand, there is the obvious difference that, while Isaiah is large and comprehensive, Micah presents his testimony in a brief and therefore compressed, if not more distinct, form. The various points of truth which he was commissioned to declare are here together in a short compass.
The prophecy is divided into two, if not three, clearly marked sections. Micah 1-2 Comprise the introduction: Micah 3-5 give us the climax of the prophet’s testimony; and then Micah 6-7 are the appropriate conclusion.
