Who God Is
Micah
Shepherd’s staff… refers to a rod or scepter… in this context refers to God’s protection and pastoral care over us… in other places, the rod or staff is an instrument of punishment or discipline...
shepherd’s staff.
The word (shebet [7626, 8657]) may refer to a “rod, staff, scepter, tribe” (cf.
NIDOTTE 4.27–29).
The shepherd’s staff in this context is a symbol of God’s protection and pastoral care for his people Israel (cf.
Ps 23:4).
The prophet mentions the rod or staff as an instrument of punishment or discipline in 5:1
in this case, Micah is asking for PROTECTION and PROVISION… reminding God that Israel was HIS peopel…
FOCUS is on God Himself...
God will make Himself known
God will do EVEN MORE than what Micah asked for… looking back to the Exodus…
GENTILES will recognize the mighty works of God
RESTORATION will come…
CONTEXT: Where is another God like you?
The rhetorical question may be a pun on the prophet’s name: “Micah"
Where is another God like you?
This rhetorical question (mi-ʾel kamoka [4310/3644, 4769/4017]) may be a pun on the prophet’s name: “Micah”
God delights in mercy
God delights in mercy
PARDONS - remove guilt
UNFAILING LOVE - God delights in providing this love… and God is EAGER to display it
COMPASSION - an attribute of God
TRAMPLE SINS… THROW THEM DEPTHS OF OCEAN - he blots them out
The three most frequently used words for sin are employed here… including the thought of guilt and crime…
And God decides to give mercy to EACH and EVERY single one… doesn’t remain angry, but give sgrace
We must delight in mercy
We should give a tunic to one who has none at all.
Who is the person who does not have a tunic?
It is one who utterly lacks God.
Therefore we should divest ourselves and give to one who is naked.
One has God; another does not have God at all.
We give to the one who does not have God.
