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.”

Ephesians #24
In Eph 4:11-16, Paul emphasizes spiritual growth and that we benefit from others' gifts in that way. 70 A.D. Jerusalem was destroyed including the Temple. 96 A.D the scripture was complete. Prior to that Prophets and Apostles had direct revelation from God; Pastor-Teacher and Evangelist have replaced them with the purpose of equipping the saints for the work of serving (1Pe 4:10-11).
Scripture References: Ephesians 4:11-16
