Today’s episode delves into the Old Testament prophet Micah, exploring his urgent calls for justice, righteousness, and the need for repentance in a time of societal corruption. It connects these themes to Jesus' ministry, emphasizing how both figures confronted injustice and hypocrisy.
The episode highlights Micah's prophecies of a coming Messiah, a ruler whose kingdom would transcend earthly power and establish peace.
