The Second Coming In Micah

Micah

This book tells us of Messiah's first and second comings and how the times will be when He returns. 

Let's focus on The Second Coming.

(5:10-15) He will destroy and break down all the cities of the World, and Israel will be counted among all the Nations of the World. 

(2:2-13) He will call all His people into one fold of sheep and rebuild the cities of the Earth in righteousness and peace (4:3-5). 

(4:2) Then all the Nations will stream into Jerusalem to learn of the Lord and His ways--this is what God planned from the beginning; to give Israel His Law and everyone else seeing how good it is to follow and come to learn for themselves.

This book contains one of Christendom's favorite verses: (6:8) "You mortals, the Lord has told you what is good. This is what the Lord requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to live humbly with your God." 

When we live our lives in alignment with His Law and His ways, then we reap the natural consequences of all the bounty of the Earth. This is what He's always wanted us to have--what is for our good is what brings glory to Him, for that is His design. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
