Feast of Micah Nibi

A contemporary of the prophets Isaiah and Hosea, Micah prophesied during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. During Micah’s lifetime, God’s people were divided into the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah, where Micah lived in Moresheth. With a succession of often unrighteous leaders at the helm in each of their realms, the two kingdoms had repeatedly violated their covenant with God. Micah came to God’s people as a messenger of judgment for their recurring sins.
