We tend to pay closer attention when multiple voices are saying the same thing, especially if it’s a serious warning, isn’t that true? In the past few days we’ve been looking at Isaiah’s remarkable vision encounter with God in the year that King Uzziah died, 740bc. Isaiah was given a very clear commissioning by God to become God’s prophet warning the leaders, of both the northern kingdom Israel and the southern kingdom Judah, of the soon coming judgment of God if they did not repent of their wickedness and lead their nations back to God.  
 
At the very same time God was raising up another voice of warning to be heard by those kings, his name was Micah and today let’s hear how similar the prophet Micah’s words were to that of Isaiah. When God speaks a clear message through multiple voices we need to pay attention, do you agree?
 
Look around your city, your country and ask yourself: who are the voices calling the people to honor God’s way of thinking & living? Are there any voices warning us of God’s judgment if we continue down the path of rebellion against God?
 
Micah writes this in his first major message of warning: “Hear, you peoples, all of you, LISTEN earth and all who live in it, that the Sovereign LORD may bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.” (Micah 1:2) Did you notice this message from Micah is NOT singularly focused on Israel, but is a global warning, to all people of every nation in every generation? That includes us, 2700 years later, do you agree?
