Description
Excerpt from The Minor Prophets, Vol. 2: With a Commentary Explanatory and Practical, and Introductions to the Several Books; Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi Micah, according to the title which he prefixed to his prophecy, was called to the prophetic ofiice somewhat later than Isaiah. His ministry began later, and ended earlier. For Uzziah, in whose reign Isaiah began to prophesy, was dead before Micah was called to his office and Micah probably was called away early in the reign of Hezekiah, where as some of the chief public acts of Isaiah's ministry fell in the 17th and 18th years of the reign of Hezekiah. Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, had doubtless been withdrawn to their rest. Hosea alone, in grey-haired might, was still protesting in vain against the deepening corruptions of Israel. The contents of Micah's prophecy and his relation to Isaiah agree with the inscription. His prophecy has indications of the times of J otham, perhaps also of those of Ahaz; one signal prophecy, we know historically, was uttered in the reign of Hezekiah.
