Read Micah 1.2-9. In 1.2-9: Judgment on Samaria and Jerusalem. Micah's opening speech focuses on his primary audience: the ruling elite in the capitals of Israel and Judah. In verses 3-4: Divine appearances so powerful that they throw nature into disarray are common at the beginning of prophetic books (Am 1.2; Nah 1.3-5). In verse 5: Samaria and Jerusalem are viewed as the centers of corruption in their respective kingdoms. In verses 6-7: the end of Samaria, forecast here, occurred during Micah's career in 721 BCE when Assyrians conquered Israel. In verse 9: A Threat to Jerusalem, but not its end, is described.
