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.” Gene Cunningham - February 13, 2000

The five mountain peaks of the life of faith. Mt. Mariah - Abraham sacrifice; Mt. Sianai (Exo 19:17-21) law and judgment; Mt. Zion (2Ki 18:1) David's throne -- rulership; Mt. Carmel truth vs. error -- victory; Mt. Olivet (Luk 22:29, 40, Joh 8:1) suffering; Mt. transfiguration (Luk 9:28-31) resurrection and glory. 5 Hebrew words for faith: (1) Amen - to lean on for support; (2) Batach - wrestling term - body slam to the mat; (3) Casah - rabbit chased by fox into a cleft in the rock; (4) Yachal - dressing for wound; (5) Qawah - weave an unbreakable rope from small vines or threads.
