For those who have an ear to hear:
To the leaders plotting and scheming:
God says, “I will reward your evil w/evil; NOTHING CAN STOP ME!"
And to His people He says:
"the former DOMINION will be restored to you"
Let us pray Micah 2-4⬇️⬇️⬇️
Micah 2:1-4 - Man's Plan vs God's Plan
Woe 2 U who lie awake @ night, plotting wickedness; U rise @ dawn to carry out your schemes; because YOU CAN, YOU DO. You want a certain piece of land or someone else’s house (though it is all he has); U take it by fraud & threats & violence...
But the Lord says, “I will reward your evil w/evil; NOTHING CAN STOP ME; never again will you be proud and haughty after I AM through with you.
Then your enemies will taunt you and mock your dirge of despair: ‘We're finished, ruined. God has confiscated our land and sent us far away; he has given what is ours to others.’”
Micah 3:1-4-Rulers Denounced
Listen you, leaders & rulers: IS IT NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW JUSTICE? “You who hate good & love evil, Who tear the skin from my people And their flesh from their bones, Who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones...
And chop them up as for the pot &as meat in a kettle (like cannibals).” Then they will cry out to the Lord, But He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.,,
Micah 4:1-13-The Lord's Plan
“On that great day,” God says, “I will round up all the hurt and homeless, everyone I have bruised or banished. I will TRANSFORM THE BATTERED INTO A COMPANY OF ELITE. I WILL MAKE A STRONG NATION OUT OF THE LONG LOST.
A showcase exhibit of God’s rule in action, as I rule from Mount Zion, from here to eternity. “As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, the former DOMINION will be restored to you; kingship will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”
So why the doomsday hysterics? You still have a king, don’t you? But maybe he’s not doing his job and you’re panicked like a woman in labor. Well, go ahead—twist and scream, Daughter Jerusalem. You are like a woman in childbirth.
You’ll soon be out of the city, on your way & camping in the open country. And then you’ll arrive in Babylon. What you lost in Jerusalem will be found in Babylon. God WILL GIVE YOU NEW LIFE AGAIN. He’ll REDEEM YOU FROM YOUR ENEMIES.
But for right now, they’re ganged up against you, many godless peoples, saying,
“Kick her when she’s down! Violate her! We want to see Zion grovel in the dirt.”
These blasphemers have no idea what God is thinking and doing in this. They don’t know that this is the making of God’s people, that they are wheat being threshed, gold being refined.
On your feet, Daughter of Zion! Be threshed of chaff, be refined of dross.
I'M REMAKING YOU INTO A PEOPLE INVINCIBLE, into GOD'S JUGGERNAUT TO CRUSH THE GODLESS PEOPLES.
You’ll bring their plunder as holy offerings to God,
their wealth to the Master of the earth."
SELAH
