Micah – Seven Signposts of the End Times – 2012 – Canberra, AUS
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.”

Eph 4:11-12 Speaking gifts prepare the saints to fulfill the building up of the body. Doctrinal unity comes from believing the same thing - a unity in the faith (Phil 1:27, 1Co 1:10, Psa 133:1 Eph 4:13-16). Practical unity is more important (Neh 2:18, Neh 4:17-18, Eph 4:17-29). In Eph 4:13, "knowledge" is experiential and implemented not just mental or spiritual. Peter uses the same word and concept in 2Pe 1:1-4; without Grace (the Spirit's working), truth becomes destructive, but with Grace comes peace. The "fullness" in Eph 4:13 amplifies Eph 3:19. Luk 6:35-40 illustrates the "measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" -- graciousness, compassion, mercy.
More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
