Micah 1:8-9
Samaria had well and truely blown it in the eyes of God.Their sins were beyond healing OR forgivness. They'd had their three strikes and now they were out!
God's judgement upon Samaria had already begun.
The sins comitted didnt just scratch the surface of 'naughtiness', they had inflicted a stab wound into several vital organs!
They were beyond naughty.
Sin had caused an injury that would soon prove fatal (Samaria was, in fact, destroyed early in Micah's mission). Sadly, Samaria's sin had already spread to Jerusalem, and judgement would soon be upon them also. This probably referes to Sennacherib's siege in 701 BC (2 kings 18, 19)
Oppression;
Micah predicted judgement upon the nations and all leaders who oppressed others. The upper classes and people of influence exploited the poor. No one spoke up for these poor people or did anything to stop this. God will not put up with this injustice.
We shouldnt expect God to help us out in situations while we ignore those who are oppressed or needy.
Love you x
