Notes

Micah 2:13

The Lord led Israel out of exile, hinting at the greater freedom from slavery that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would later provide.

Micah 2:12–13

God demonstrated his love and care for his rebellious people by promising them hope, even while mentioning exile and despair. Although Israel would be scattered, they would return (compare Deuteronomy 4:26–29; 30:1–6).

Micah 1:2–2:13

This message of judgment focuses on key themes in Micah's prophecies. It shows God's decision to judge his people and send them into exile (Micah 1:16; 2:4–5). However, it ends with the Lord's promise to save a small group from exile (Micah 2:12–13).
