What are the main points of the book of Micah?
965966
The purpose of the book of Michah is to warn God's people that judgment is coming and to offer pardon to all who repent.\nIt was written to the people of Israel (the northern kingdom) and of Judah (the southern kingdom.)\nThe author Micah, was a native of Moresheth, near Gath, about 20 miles southwest of Jerusalem.\nThe date written was during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekia (742-687 B.C.)\nKey Verse: "No, 0 people, the Lord has already told you what is good, and this is what he requires; to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God" (6-8)

Well, I would like to quote the bible on this one:\n\nDaniel Defeats the Priests of Bel \n1 When King Astyages was buried in the tomb with his ancestors, Cyrus the Persian took his place as king.  a 1 King Astyages ... king: Astyages was the last king of Media. He was defeated in battle in 550 B.C.c* by his grandson Cyrus the Great, the king of Persia, who then became king of the Medes and the Persians and ruled until 530 B.C.\nc*&#92;f* 2 Daniel was a friend and advisor of King Cyrus, and the king honored him more than anyone else. \n 3 3Is 46.1; Jr 51.44.Every day, the Babylonians took food to the idol of their god Bel.  b 3 Bel: Another name for Marduk, the chief god of Babylonia. Bel means “lord.”They brought six hundred pounds of the best wheat flour, fifty gallons of wine, and the meat from forty sheep. \n4 King Cyrus believed that Bel was a powerful god, and he worshiped the idol every day, but Daniel worshiped only his own God. One day, Cyrus asked Daniel, “Why don't you worship Bel?” \n5 Daniel answered, “I refuse to worship idols—they are made by humans. Instead, I worship the living God, because he created heaven and earth, and he rules everyone who lives.” \n6 “But, Daniel,” the king replied, “isn't Bel a living god? Haven't you seen how much he eats and drinks each day?” \n7 Daniel laughed and said, “Don't be fooled, Your Majesty. That idol is merely clay on the inside and bronze on the outside! It never ate or drank anything.” \n8 This made the king angry. So he called in his priests and told them, “Prove to me that Bel  c 8 Prove to me that Bel: Greek “Tell me who.”is eating all this food! If you can't, then you will die. 9 But if you can prove that Bel really is eating the food, then Daniel will die, because he has insulted the god Bel.” \nDaniel said, “Your Majesty, that sounds fair enough to me.” \n10 Now there were seventy priests of Bel, and they and their wives had lots of children. \nThe king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel, 11 and the priests said, “Your Majesty, we will go outside now. Please set out the food and the wine yourself, then shut the door. Drip some hot wax along the edge of the door and press your ring into the wax to leave your special mark. This will show that only you are allowed to open the door.  d 11 Drip some hot wax ... open the door: The king's ring had a special design on it, and he pressed the ring into the soft, hot wax. Then, after the wax cooled, the door could not be opened without breaking the wax.12 When you come back in the morning, if you find that Bel hasn't eaten everything, then you can put us to death. But if the food is gone, this will prove Daniel has been lying, and you can put him to death.” \n13 The priests were not worried at all. They had a secret trap door under the table, and that was how they sneaked into the temple every night to eat the food. \n14 The priests left, and the king arranged Bel's food on the table. Then Daniel told his servants to scatter ashes over the temple floor. The king was the only other person who saw them do this. They shut the door as they went outside, and the king placed his special mark on some hot wax along the edge of the door so that they could tell if the door had been opened. Then they all left. \n15 Later that night, the priests and their wives and children went to the temple as they always did, and they ate and drank everything. \n16 Early the next morning, the king brought Daniel to the temple 17 and asked him, “Daniel, has the wax been broken? Has the door been opened?” \n“No, Your Majesty,” Daniel answered. \n18 As soon as the door was opened,  e 18 door was opened: Greek “doors were opened.”the king looked at the empty table and shouted, “Bel, you are a great god, and you always tell the truth!” \n19 Daniel just laughed. He kept the king from entering the temple and said, “Look at the floor—I wonder who left all those f

Jesus did a lot just to fulfill the prophecy's of the old testament. It's good to question things. If the book can't stand up to our questions it's not worth the paper its printed on.

There's a lot of it in Revelation (1:4, 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22).\n\nThis sort of thing is easy to find on any of the good Bible search sites like biblegateway and others.

The book of Job in general..\n"Scholars argue that the book is a vindication of the justice and goodness of God. Although these divine characteristics are seen in the story, its purpose may more directly demonstrate integrity. Job is blameless and upright at the beginning and, although discouraged, nothing is able to move him. He proclaimed, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." (13:15). Satan was allowed to test Job and was unsuccessful. We know this but Job didn't. So the issue of the integrity of Job demonstrates the greater truth of the integrity of God Himself. As trials came to God's children through the ages, Satan's claims would be broken, case by case, as they prayed for the the power to overcome through the merits of the slain lamb."\n\nAlso, for the book of Job in general see\nhttp://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=7487\n\nI think you mean chapter 8:1-7..\nhttp://www.bibleexplained.com/other-early/Job/job08.html\n\nIf you mean chapter 1:7...\nhttp://www.bibleexplained.com/other-early/Job/job01.htm\n\nThere is more on this then I can put in here.

According to Jacob’s deathbed prophecy, the tribe of Judah was to produce the permanent royal heir, Shiloh (meaning “He Whose It Is; He To Whom It Belongs”). (Genesis 49:10) Appropriately, therefore, before the overthrow of the kingdom of Judah, Jehovah, through Ezekiel, directed these words to Zedekiah: “Remove the turban, and lift off the crown. This will not be the same. Put on high even what is low, and bring low even the high one. A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I shall make it. As for this also, it will certainly become no one’s until he comes who has the legal right, and I must give it to him.” (Ezekiel 21:26, 27) The one having the legal right, as indicated by the angel Gabriel’s announcement to the virgin Jewess Mary some 600 years later, is none other than Jesus, the Son of God. (Luke 1:31-33) It is, therefore, fitting that Jesus Christ bears the title “the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah.”—Revelation 5:5.\n\nAlso, if you refer to Matther chapter 1, you will find the geneology of Jesus. Verse 2 speaks of the line of Judah and the following verses go on with the line wherein you will be able to see where Jesus comes into it.

66 books from Gen. to Reve.\n39 books are the Hebrew Scriptures (OT)\n\nGod is the author/ and it shows about 40 different human secretaries or scribes. God's finger began the writing by craving out the ten commandments on stone tablets.\n All types of men were used -shepherd, farmer,tent maker,fisherman,tax collector,physician,priest,prophet,king and so on.\n it has one basic theme from beginning to end and very connected even though written \nages apart.\n Copyists have preserved it for centuries. On finding the Dead Sea Scrolls other than some wording little has been changed the meaning was still correct.\n\nThe so called lost books (book of Judah and such) are not part of cannon as all the other books harmonized with each other from beginning to end-these did not. Remember even in Jesus day others wrote to dispute his teachings.

This is a very confusing thing and when I checked now there are two outcomes given. One is that in the 45 days it would be the setting up of God's kingdom and another one is that in the 45 days it will be the pouring out of God's wrath. I am not sure what it is going to be. and so you can check out the links and decide for yourself\n\nhttp://philologos.org/bpr/files/Misc_Studies/ms062.htm\n\nhttp://www3.calvarychapel.com/cheyenne/Library/27-Daniel/Daniel1205.html\n\n\nhttp://www.prophecyupdate.com/daniel_chapter_12.htm\n\nAnd if you read and come to a conclusion I hope you will share your conclusion!

I recommend starting at the beginning. So much of the life and purpose of Christ is tied up in man's fall and inability to atone for his own sin that you really must understand that to fully appreciate the New Testament.

GIve praise & worship w/o ceasing. Remember to keep the Sabbath holy.\n\nJesus is the Word of God made flesh; the Messiah was/is Torah-observant; He taught that His Way is the way of Truth & Life ("Follow Me.")\n\nPagans & Emperor Constantine & Popes & mainstream reformed denominations desecrate the Sabbath & replace it with Sunday, the "venerable day of the sun god," as Constantine's decree reads.\n\nI follow the Living God. Many call themselves followers of Christ (i.e. ~Christian~), but they follow the abominations of men.

Rev. 17:12   And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.  \nRev 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.\nRev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: \n\nAs we approach the last crisis, it is of vital moment that harmony and unity exist among the Lord's instrumentalities. The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head--the papal power--the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses.  \n     What is it that gives its kingdom to this power? Protestantism, a power which, while professing to have the temper and spirit of a lamb and to be allied to Heaven, speaks with the voice of a dragon. It is moved by a power from beneath.   \n     "These have one mind." There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan's forces. "And shall give their power and strength unto the beast." Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism.   \n     In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God's people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized from allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth commandment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Lawgiver identifies Himself as the Creator of the heavens and the earth. \n     Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.

Read the book of Revelations with a concordance. There's mentions of "the dragon of the East". And there's referrences of Assyrian armies attacking Israel. All in all, it's not a pretty picture for the future of our world.
