Micah
Throughout scripture the prophets were ignored and insulted and if that didn't quiet them down, they were murdered. The people would shout “Don’t prophesy like that. Such disasters will never come our way!” Micah has the Israelites figured out. He suggests that the only kind of prophet they would like would be a prophet full of lies that would say to them, “I’ll preach to you the joys of wine and alcohol!”
Before we get onto the Israelites too quick, we need to review our track record for listening to prophetic words. If any should be so bold as to say he heard a word from the Lord today that doesn't pass the political correctness test, even many Christian ministers are quick to dispute the revelation. What kind of prophet would we listen to today? How much do they have to agree with us before we will take them seriously?
