Day 312..."Micah is too short...Jeremiah judges the "big dog"...Children of Promise"
Micah is finished too quickly. Chapter seven is a bit choppy to read but does end with hope of pardon and mercy from sins...and a bit of nostalgia or days of old with Jacob and Abraham.
Jeremiah is not quite through judging regions. Chapter fifty includes the "big dog"...Babylon. The exile bears their name. There is even a reference to Sodom and Gomorrah. Paul teaches of "children of promise." This image is theological. In Christ, we all can be children of promise and great potential. Perhaps Paul is nostalgic too in his comparison of Hagar and Sarah regarding bearing children for Abraham.

What wonderful promises are found in Micah... the mountain of the Lord will be above all others! This again speaks to the future reign of JESUS here on earth from Jerusalem in fulfillment of the promises to David. For a 1000 years, Jesus and his family will rule the world, a world without sin, death, diseases or rebellion. The curse of sin will be removed and the world will be restored to the way it was in the beginning, in the Garden of Eden. Praise God, we pray for this each service, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." God will fulfill his WORD at our request.
