Micah reminds us that Miriam, sister of Moses, was a leader of the people. He also reminds us of Balak, king of Moab who wanted Balaam to curse the Israelites. Balaam said he could only do what the Lord said to do.
Micah warns about traditions. All the references to tradition or traditions in Scripture have negative implications. (Matthew 15, Mark 7, Galatians 1)
Col 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
WHAT GOD REALLY WANTS (Micah 6) deserves another read! As does the ending of Micah. Even though God speaks through His prophets words of warning, rebuke and admonition, He always offers us the way of repentance.
