Missing HERMENEUTIC ANALYSIS OF THE BOOK OF MIQUEIAS

With the present work, it presents a hermeneutic analysis made in the book of Micahs, comprising the hermeneutical triad,
namely: history, literature and theology of the book of Micahs.

1. Historical analysis of the book of Micah

23/25
History is important because it allows you to locate events in time and space and with regard to the word of God, this
helps to sustain its credibility to those who need facts to believe, although it must be by faith .

Historical interpretation of the Bible is important because “knowledge of the historical and cultural context is imperative to the
1

application of the message of Scripture.” good

point
Therefore, the following historical analysis of the book of Micah was made:

In Micah 1:1 where we see that Micah acted during the reign of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah in Judah, whose capital city
is Jerusalem, we can have a temporary and spatial notion of his acting and how the people lived at the time, which may have
justified the prophecy through Micah.

Let us take as a reference the book of 2 Kings 15:32-38 where we read that Jotham, who was king of Judah at the time,
did what pleases God, however he did not destroy the pagan places of worship which led the people to continue to offer sacrifices
and burning incense in those heathen places (2 Kings 15:34) even in 2 Kings 16:1-19 we have the account of the reign of King
Ahaz who succeeded his father Jotham on the throne of Judah, King Ahaz did not reign in a pleasant way to God, this is because
his reign was characterized by disobedience to God's law, having even offered his own son by burning him as an offering to idols
(V.3) which leads us to realize that his reign admitted the idolatry and if the king is an idolater, the people also tend to follow the
same as they have “freedom” to do so. ✓
ezekiah -2
In 2 Kings, chapters 18 to 20, some facts are reported in the reign of King Hezekiah, the son of King Ahaz, the one who
reigned in a way pleasing to God as his ancestor David did. King Ahaz fought idolatry during his reign, destroying pagan places
of worship, breaking the pillars of Baal, and pulling down the posts of the goddess Asherah, among many other feats of his.

Micah 1:1 makes it clear that Micah had visions regarding Samaria and Jerusalem which are capital cities of Israel and
Judah respectively. And after seeing the action of its kings who mostly did not reign according to the will of God, the book of 2
Kings 17:13 makes it clear how the people behaved when it informs that God sent messengers and prophets to warn Israel and
Judah to turn from their sins and follow the way of God however, they did not follow the warning of the prophets and making a
connection of this verse with the scripture in Micah 1:1 it is clear one of these messengers or prophets, is Micah, this fact is
confirmed in Jeremiah 26:18 which states that the prophet Micah of Moresheth gave all the people a message from the Lord
Almighty.

1. Literary Analysis (Genre) of the Book of Micah you have done lot of work on
discerning genres . . .

good job !
you have missed canonical analysis ( where Micah fits within
)
canon
but I won't deduct points this time
The book of Micah is a prophetic book, but it begins with a narrative in chapter 1:1 as there is an impression of an implied
author who introduces Micah's mission. In chapter 1:1 there is an account of vocation when we read that Malachi was a prophet
of God by divine inspiration and in 1:2 there is an announcement of judgment, in which, first, the people of Samaria (capital of
Israel) are summoned. hearing the word of God, chapter 1:5 makes reference to God's accusations against the people of Israel
(generally idolatry) and consequently the reasons for their punishment by God in Micah 1:6-7.

Following the accusations and their consequences, we can identify the oracle of "woe" in Micah 2:1-5, in verses 1-2
Micah accuses social injustices, for the evil they commit, abusing their power and in verses 3-5 we can see the threats of
judgment. In chapter 6 of Micah, more specifically in verses 1-16, there is a speech of judgment called the covenant process,
where God accuses and announces the penalty to his people for breaking the covenant with the Lord. In this chapter, God through
his prophet makes it clear that he has always been good to his people, since when he freed them from slavery in Egypt, the people
broke the covenant, worshiping idols. In verse 8 God speaks through Micah that He expects His people to do what is right and
live in obedience to Him.

In Micah chapters 3, 6 and 7 we see a prophetic announcement of judgment characterized by the summons in Micah 3:1
and 6:1-2 where God through Micah addresses himself directly to the leaders and authorities of Israel and in chapter 6 it
addresses the people; accusation in verses 2-5 of chapter 3 where the Lord lists various accusations he has against leaders,
authorities and false prophets, doing the same in chapter 6:3-12 and finally the consequences or destruction or punishment
resulting from sins in chapters 3:6 and 12 3 chapter 6 6:13-16. In chapter 7 there is also an oracle of judgment.

We also verified the presence of the oracle of salvation in Micah 5:1-15, where God promises a king to his people, who
would be born in Bethlehem (v.1) and would be the shepherd of the people of God and would rule in the name of God and that
would bring peace (v.4 and 5) which leads us to conclude that the king referred to in this passage is Jesus Christ.

In Micah 1:1-6 and Micah 7:1-2 this patent is the lament of Micah

In chapter 7 of Micah, in verses 16-20 we find a prophetic prayer of Micah

2. Theology of the book of Micah 25/30

From the reading of the book of Micah , we can see that God is holy and does not commune with sin. We see God's
omnipresence from the fact that He sees everything His people do, according to Hebrews 4:13. Even when apparently it is a good
deed, God sees the intention, therefore, God saw the evil that the people of Samaria and Israel in general committed, saw the
idolatry and money obtained by the practice of fornication (Micah 1:7), the injustices of theft and abuse of power (Malachi 2:2),
the people's preference for false prophets (Malachi 2:11) saw the injustices and evils of leaders and authorities (Malachi 3:1)
corruption (Malachi 3:11) among others sins committed by his people, which led the Lord to condemn them for it.

We can also see that sin was and always will be the main reason for the disgrace of the people, because God does not
commune with sin, just as obedience to God has its blessings (Micah 4:2-4) disobedience to God has its consequences that are of
misfortune (Micah2).

Sin since genesis was and continues to be the reason for the separation between God and his people, God is holy and to
commune with Him, we must also seek holiness, living in obedience to his word according to Malachi 6:8.
