Bible Study Notes on Micah 3 – 20171117
Micah 3:1 "...heads of Jacob...rulers...Is it not for you to know justice" Aren't you supposed to be the ones to know justice? Aren't you supposed to be the ones who stand for the people? 2-3 Rather graphic description of how the leaders treated the people. No concern for their wellbeing at all. 4 "...But He …

Micah 2:1 "Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their beds..." They think they're getting away with it, that God cannot see what they devise in their minds when they're alone. He can't see and doesn't care. But they are very mistaken. He sees and knows all, and He cares greatly. …

Bible Study Notes on Amos 7 – 20171103
Amos 7:1-3 "...He formed locust swarms...So the LORD relented..." Vision of locust swarms destroying crops and grazing grass. No crops for the people nor grass for the animals.
