Micah 3
This passage lists something unthinkable – cannibalism, which normal people do not do. We can equate another thing that is unthinkable – spiritual leaders who are doing abominable things.  This would be spiritual cannibalism - quenching the Spirit's fire.  God’s Word is very clear about what He considers abominable.

The prophets of Micah’s day were leading the people astray. God says He will take away their prophetic abilities. 

Micah 3 describes the “falling away” of the apostate church. Rulers and leaders, prostituting themselves as they accept money and bribes, are telling the people things the people want to hear. I think we've been warned about that, haven't we???

Some great words are written concerning the COMING OF MESSIAH in Micah 4 in the last days, a reference to the millennium with the temple in Jerusalem and the restoration of Israel.

In Micah 4 are these words.
All the nations may walk in the name of their gods; we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
As Believers in Jesus we must stand firm in our faith and walk in His name, no matter that other people all around us are bowing to other "gods".

And another passage refers to the birth of Messiah in Bethlehem. His “origins are from of old from ancient times.” gives us the message that God the Son was with God the Father from the beginning. Pretty clear!

"And he will be their peace." 
Jesus IS the peace!
