doth the lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy god micah 08 the lesson as a whole by h a ironside littd approach to the lesson mieahs prophecy while simple in structure and clear in the main yet contains a number of seeming ly involved and obscure passages in taking up its study one more than ever the need of divine illumination to understand aright the dark sayings so frequently oc curring the theme of the hook is plain however it is the wretched estate of all israel because of their sin and the wonderful deliverance to be brought in by him whose goings forth have been from of old from everlasting but micah insist ed strongly upon present righteous ness in view of future blessing herefore he called upon israel and judah to face their sins in the pre sence of god to judge their evil ways and to put away all uprighte- ousness only as they sought to walk in obedience to the word of god had they the right to count upon his protecting care thus the book is throughout an earnest call to repentance and a plea for righteous living mieahs prophecy may have been all delivered at one time as there are no clear breaks in its continuity but it seems more likely that it consists of three dis courses and a prayer each of the former commencing with a sum mons to hear in that case the first division would embrace chapters 1 and 2 the second chapter 3 to 5 the third chapter i while chapter 7 would be the fourth and last it will be noticed that in chapter 3 from which the major portion of our lesson is taken micah address es himself particularly to the prin ces or judges and the prophets the priests also being included as heads of the house of jacob it is a solemn thing when the leaders of gods people cause them to err when those who should be a bul wark for the truth turn away therefrom speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them acts 2030 the historical setting coming to the front a little later than isaiah micah was his con temporary for the greater part of his ministry micah is called the morasthile that is a man of moresheth or as he himself calls it in chapter 1 verae 14 moresheth- gath or again mareshah in the fol lowing verse a town lying to the southwest of jerusalem and there fore in the land of judah micah is cited by the elders of jerusalem in the days of jeremiah a hundred years later as an example of one who had prophesied even against judah but who was not apprehen ded therefore by the godly king hezekiah jer 201619 verse by verse micah 11 the word of the lord concerning samaria and jerusalem mieahs messages were not for judah only where the seer himself dwelt but embraced all israel chap 21 woe to them that de vise iniquity and work evil upon their beds so completely were they devoted to their own selfish ends that even in the hours of the night they were scheming how they might defraud those who ap pealed to them for help in order that they might enrich themselves verse 2 so they oppress a man and his house by lending money on houses and fields at exorbitant interest which they felt sure the borrower would never be able to pay they cunningly laid their plans to foreclose in due time and thus rob the poor of their heritage chap 35 the prophets that make my people err these false prophets perverted the very words of the lord and gave false burdens in order to hinder the people from understanding the will of god motivated by covetousness they flattered those who submitted to their extortion while condemning and seeking to destroy those who would not submit to them or con tribute to their support verses fi 7 therefore night shall be unto you as thev have hidden the light from others they shall go into the night at last un speakably awful will be the awak

power by the spirit of the lord how dif ferent from these false prophets was the case of jehovahs true ser vant undismayed by the fear of man that bringeth a snare he could faithfully proclaim the mind of god as revealed to him by the holy spirit he was the servant not of men but of jehovah of hosts and his ministry was in the energy of faith hence in the mightv power of god verse ye that abhor judg ment those who were supposed ages to observe and enforce the law of feels god used their power and influence in the opposite direction verse 10 they build up zion with blood using their power to their own advantage they ruth lessly condemned the innocent and condoned the acts of the guilty even to the shedding of blood in order to enhance their own secur ity and increase their wealth verse 11 the heads thereof judge for reward instead of be ing concerned about maintaining righteousness these unworthy leaders princes prophets and priests together were all given to covetousness and yet with the most barefaced effrontery they declared the lord was in their midst and ratified their doings thus they made him the minister of unrighte ousness and made his holy name their answer to any who sought to reach their consciences saints of god are called to follow righteous ness if this be overlooked it is the veriest presumption to talk of having the lords presence and declaring themselves in the line of his testimony this eleventh verse may profitably be weighed in con nection with jeremiah g13 where the condition a few years later is found not to have improved but de teriorated as is ever the case where evil is left unjudged verse 12 shall zion be plow ed as a field because of all this corruption and iniquity judgment was soon to fall on mount zion and jerusalem and its glorious temple where god had been pleased to dwell but which he now abhorred so that the mountain of jehovahs house would be given over to the heathen and treated as the idolatr ous high places of the groves if righteousness be not maintained by his people god will annul their pretensions and refuse to be identi fied with them he who is the holy and the true will not go on with iniquity chap g 0 7 wherewith shall i come before the lord 7 all his chastening was with a view to their blessing the humbled soul might well ask wherewith shall i come before the lord and bow myself before the high god did he demand sacrifices and offerings was it these that were lacking would he be pleased with thou sands of rams and myriads of rivers of oil even though one gave up on the altar his clearest and best his firstborn would that avail for the sin of the soul was it by means of such as these that the in terrupted conpnunion was to be restored it was righteousness that was lacking righteousness then must be maintained verse 8 what doth the lord require of thee only when they bowed before him to own the sin of the past and sought strength to walk as here outlined could there be that happy sense of the lords favor which lifts the soul above all circumstances and en ables it to joy in god himself it is important to note that we do not here have the ground of salva tion no man can merit eternal life by good behavior but the lord is here emphasizing that which should characterize those who have al ready come to know him as savi our and redeemer the heart of the lesson nothing is more obnoxious to god than the use of the forms and the profession of religion as a cover for unrighteous living and a cloak for covetousness in unmistakable terms he has expressed his disap proval of till such hypocritical be havior and wherever men have ignored his commands and refused to repent of their wickedness judgment has fallen upon them in one way or another while his patience is great and his longsuf fering is marvelous as he waits in grace for any evidence of repen tance the holiness of his nature demands that persistent willful sinning shall bring severe and terri ble retribution this is
