2:10
Micah is not sparing in his condemnation of the people. He tells them to “arise and go for this is no place to rest”. Israel was meant to be the home of God’s people, of God’s people living according to God’s ways. But this people were clearly not living in God’s ways, whether it be with justice, with economic fairness and honesty, sexual morality or worshipping only God. They did none of these things, so they might as well leave. Indeed they would be forcibly evicted. The “uncleanness destroys”. When we abandon God’s ways it brings destruction. In our own country the abandonment of the sanctity of marriage over many decades has brought many social ills and great economic cost, not to mention the lives that have been scarred. The current obsession with LGBT issues will only lead us to continue down the same road.
2:11
So this people rejected the words of God, they rejected prophets who preached the word of God (Luke 13:34). But if a “prophet” comes who preaches lies and nonsense then he would be welcomed. A prophet who preached strong drink and wine would be welcomed as a man of God! Today there are many so-called Christians who preach that LGBT is good, and they are welcomed by some. We should expect judgement to come.
