SPECIAL . PEOPLE. (. MICAH). Lesson 7 for May 18, 2013. HISTORICAL . CONTEXT. Micah, as did Isaiah, carried on his prophetic ministry in the critical period of the latter half of the 8th century b.c., when Assyria was the dominant world power. In his own country Jotham, the king of Judah, when he began his prophetic ministry, “did that which was right in the sight of the Lord,” although the people of his kingdom “sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places” (2 Kings 15:34, 35). Ahaz, Jotham’s son and successor, went the full length of idolatry, even burning “his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen” (2 Chron. 28:3). He did not hesitate to rearrange and change the brazen altar of burnt offering, and the laver, and to place within the sacred Temple precincts an idolatrous altar which he saw at Damascus (2 Kings 16:10–12, 14–17).

The contents of his book set forth the moral and religious conditions among the people during the . Micah 6:8. 6. With what shall I come before the . Lord. . and bow down before the exalted God?
