Micah was a watchman sent by God to warn Israel and Judah of God’s impending judgement for all their iniquity, but in the last chapter is a wonderful view to the Millennial Kingdom when Christ rules the world having taken over from the usurper Satan<\/a>, and there are these wonderful verses giving treasured insight into our God and Savior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micah 7:18\u201320<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s Steadfast Love and Compassion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[18] Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity\n    and passing over transgression\n    for the remnant of his inheritance?\nHe does not retain his anger forever,\n    because he delights in steadfast love.\n[19] He will again have compassion on us;\n    he will tread our iniquities underfoot.\nYou will cast all our sins\n    into the depths of the sea.\n[20] You will show faithfulness to Jacob\n    and steadfast love to Abraham,\nas you have sworn to our fathers\n    from the days of old.

Micah 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wait for the God of Salvation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
[1] Woe is me! For I have become\n    as when the summer fruit has been gathered,\n    as when the grapes have been gleaned:\nthere is no cluster to eat,\n    no first-ripe fig that my soul desires.\n[2] The godly has perished from the earth,\n    and there is no one upright among mankind;\nthey all lie in wait for blood,\n    and each hunts the other with a net.\n[3] Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;\n    the prince and the judge ask for a bribe,\nand the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;\n    thus they weave it together.\n[4] The best of them is like a brier,\n    the most upright of them a thorn hedge.\nThe day of your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;\n    now their confusion is at hand.\n[5] Put no trust in a neighbor;\n    have no confidence in a friend;\nguard the doors of your mouth\n    from her who lies in your arms;\n[6] for the son treats the father with contempt,\n    the daughter rises up against her mother,\nthe daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;\n    a man\u2019s enemies are the men of his own house.\n[7] But as for me, I will look to the LORD;\n    I will wait for the God of my salvation;\n    my God will hear me.\n\n\n[8] Rejoice not over me, O my enemy;\n    when I fall, I shall rise;\nwhen I sit in darkness,\n    the LORD will be a light to me.\n[9] I will bear the indignation of the LORD\n    because I have sinned against him,\nuntil he pleads my cause\n    and executes judgment for me.\nHe will bring me out to the light;\n    I shall look upon his vindication.\n[10] Then my enemy will see,\n    and shame will cover her who said to me,\n    \u201cWhere is the LORD your God?\u201d\nMy eyes will look upon her;\n    now she will be trampled down\n    like the mire of the streets.\n\n\n[11] A day for the building of your walls!\n    In that day the boundary shall be far extended.\n[12] In that day they will come to you,\n    from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,\nand from Egypt to the River,\n    from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.\n[13] But the earth will be desolate\n    because of its inhabitants,\n    for the fruit of their deeds.\n\n\n[14] Shepherd your people with your staff,\n    the flock of your inheritance,\nwho dwell alone in a forest\n    in the midst of a garden land;\nlet them graze in Bashan and Gilead\n    as in the days of old.\n[15] As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,\n    I will show them marvelous things.\n[16] The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;\nthey shall lay their hands on their mouths;\n    their ears shall be deaf;\n[17] they shall lick the dust like a serpent,\n    like the crawling things of the earth;\nthey shall come trembling out of their strongholds;\n    they shall turn in dread to the LORD our God,\n    and they shall be in fear of you.\n\n\nGod\u2019s Steadfast Love and Compassion\n\n[18] Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity\n    and passing over transgression\n    for the remnant of his inheritance?\nHe does not retain his anger forever,\n    because he delights in steadfast love.\n[19] He will again have compassion on us;\n    he will tread our iniquities underfoot.\nYou will cast all our sins\n    into the depths of the sea.\n[20] You will show faithfulness to Jacob\n    and steadfast love to Abraham,\nas you have sworn to our fathers\n    from the days of old.
