Micah gives the time of writing as “in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah,” (Mic 1:1). This places his ministry from about 740 to 710 B.C. This book of his prophecies was likely compiled around 700 B.C. He was a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah. His name is a shortened form of “Micaiah” (cf. 1Ki 22:8–28, another prophet), meaning “Who is like Jehovah.”

Fight the Good Fight #4
The spiritual life is a battle. The priesthood came from warriors. Phinehas, a levite, was the model priest-warrior in early Jewish history. The spiritual priority is the learn to be effective in prayer. Paul is an example. Priesthood begins with the attitude, heart and soul and prayer (1Ti 2:1, Joh 16:7-11). The priethood is offering ourself "a living sacrifice (Rom 12:1-2). Goldliness is conformity to Jesus Christ (1Ti 2:2). "God our saviour" is a Hebrew viewpoint -- a phrase that brings God closer to us (Tit 1:3-4, Tit 2:9, Tit 3:6).
