“The Lord Shall Reign”
Choice 1:
Read Micah 1:1–9; 2:1–11. Write a brief statement describing what Micah
prophesied would happen to Israel and Samaria.
The Lord would come down.
The mountains will be molten and the valleys will melt like wax. Graven images, hires, and idols will be
destroyed. He also preached to the wealthy
and greedy people and spoke of their evils and transgressions and then told
them to leave the land.
Read Micah 3:4–12 and
list the reasons why these things happened to them.
The people had been listening to the false prophets and had
hardened their hearts to the truthfulness of Micah’s prophecies. Because of their evils, God did not hear or
answer their cries.
Read Micah 4:1–3 and
the institute student manual commentary for Micah 4:1–2, “What Special Meaning
Do These Verses Have for Latter-day Saints?” (pg. 121). Then make a second list
of Israel’s future reasons for hope.
If we follow the commandments we will be blessed. If we bring forth and establish Zion, and
labor with all our might, mind, and strength, we will have a place in the
Celestial world.
What additional
insights does Doctrine and Covenants 45:66–71 reveal about Micah 4:6–8?
The righteous will be assembled with the Lord and will live
together in peace and joy.
(c) In your own words
summarize the teachings in Micah 4:12; Isaiah 55:8–9.
Basically it’s saying that the Lord’s way is the only way we
should follow and obey because it is the correct way.
(d) Read Micah 5:1–5
and the institute student manual commentary for Micah 5:1-4, “But Thou,
Bethlehem, ... out of Thee Shall He Come ... That Is to Be Ruler in Israel,”
(pg. 122). Then list what Micah said about the first and second coming of the
Lord.
The prophecy that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem and that he
would be a ruler of Israel was fulfilled.
He would give it all up and stand in the glory of God and bring us
peace.
(e) Read the messages of Micah 7:7–9, 18–19; Nahum 1:1–7 and
the institute student manual commentary for Nahum 1:2–10, “The Second Coming”
(pgs. 219–20). Then write an outline for a three-minute talk on the topic of
“The Last Days and the Second Coming.”
