#28 The Covenants of Micah
The Book of Micah is a ridicule of sin, a call to repentance, and a guarantee that the Lord will hold fast to His word and deliver on His covenantal promises. While characteristics of the Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants are expressed throughout the book, the most evident characteristics, as demonstrated by the chart below, are those of the Mosaic Covenant. The Mosaic emphasis is due to Micah’s firm critique of Israel’s sin and its consequences of it. Without the many allusions to the Mosaic covenant, the Israelites of Micah's time may have never learned of their trespasses against the Lord. It is important to note that this Mosaic focus does not make the characteristics of the other Covenants insignificant. Indeed, all allusions to the Covenants are profound and meaningful. Micah itself is crucial to the faith of Israel and Christianity as it is the Word of God.
