Book of Micah Summary: Judgment and Hope from Bethlehem to the Ends of the Earth. Micah was a prophet from a small country town, but his message thundered against kings and cities alike. He warned of coming judgment on both Israel and Judah for their injustice and idolatry. Yet woven through his words of doom are some of the most beautiful promises of the Messiah, including the prophecy that He would be born in Bethlehem.
