Primarily I look at the footnotes of a passage and see a huge selection. But my mind being set on the same spokes books and chapters (there might be verses, alphabetical verses and numbers within the text which go unnoticed in the footnotes - these I ignore for now since the subject is already vast) comparing Micah and 1Kings, both on Spoke 11 of the Biblewheel, Cycle 1 and 2, youll see how they are as hand and glove. Micah mentions the statutes of Ahab and Omri are kept.Where do you find Ahab and Omri? In 1Kings of course! Even though Micah lived much later in the times of kings Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah a contemporary with Isaiah and right before King Manasseh. I think Manasseh was responsible of their deaths as the streets of Jerusalem flowed with blood in his days. And thats when his prophesies came to pass as the Assyrians carried Manasseh captive. But Micahs account is identical to the story of Ahab in 1Kings. After highlighting she I noticed how Jezebel and the prophecy of Micah 7 is identical. Micah 7 2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. Who is the good man that perished in 1Kings? 1Kings 21 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. Also within the 11th chapter of 2Samuel, since were comparing the 11th book 1Kings and the 11th prophetic book Micah, just as Jezebel sent letters to execute Naboth, David sent letters to kill Uriah: 2Samuel 11 21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the kings servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. The next verses: Micah 7 3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. Both David and Ahab were kings/princes and wanted something that Uriah and Naboth average men had, a beautiful wife and a vineyard. Micah 7 5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 1Kings 21 5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. 7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. Micah 7 7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. It seems like Micah is putting his trust in the LORD as did Naboth (1Kings 21) and Micaiah (1Kings 22) and Uriah the Hittite (2Samuel 11). In both cases, the deaths of Uriah and Naboth came the word of the LORD by the mouth of Nahthan and Elijah the prophets the kings sentence. Micah 7 8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. Resurrection: the first person to be raised from the dead in the bible is a little boy found in the 11th book 1Kings: 1Kings 17 17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. 18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? 19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? 21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this childs soul come into him again. 22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. 24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth. And in the 11th chapter of John is the resurrection of Lazarus. Micah 7 9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. We all have faults in our lives. But this verse gives the other side of God, that because of our faith in him he will plead for us, because we believe in Jesus Christ who died for our sins and risen from the dead and our justification. Micah 7 10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where (אַיֹּו) is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. Where (אַיֹּו) has the root word pronounced ee (אַיֹּ) also found in the name Jezebel meaning where is his dwelling: Jezebel from אִי (H336) meaning not and זְבֻל (H2083) meaning exalted, residence, elevation, lofty abode, height, habitation, dwelling = Baal exalts or Baal is husband to or unchaste queen of Israel, wife of Ahab, daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians. Gods sentence of unrepentant Jezebel the queen and wife of king Ahab is this: 1Kings 21 23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. And this happened: 2Kings 9 30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. 31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? 32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. 33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. 34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a kings daughter. 35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. 36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: 37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel. Where did Jezebel die? Where Naboth was executed, Jezreel, and prophesied by Elijah. gilgalsbiblewheel.blogspot.ca/2014/07/spoke-11-micah-and-1kings.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ Please Like!
