Reading for January 12th

 Read Micah 4.1-5. In 4.1-5: God rules from Jerusalem. This begins a new collection of speeches (chs. 4-5) that announce salvation rather than judgment. They stress the return of the Israelite exiles and the restoration of Jerusalem  to its former power and prestige. This same speech, celebrating God's rule over the nations in an era of universal disarmament, is preserved also among the speeches of Micah's contemporary Isaiah (2.1-5). In verse 1: The mountain on which the temple in Jerusalem is located is an reality overshadowed by the highest peaks in the vicinity. Comments or Questions..
