The story in children’s words
Micah was sad because God's people had turned to idols and rich men stole fields and houses from the poor. Leaders took bribes, and false prophets told lies for money. God said their city would become a heap of stones. But Micah also saw a wonderful day coming. Nations would stream to the LORD's mountain to learn His ways. They would beat their swords into farm tools, and no one would learn war anymore. Everyone would sit safely under their own vine and fig tree. Then the Lamb in heaven began to open the scroll's seals, and hard and scary things came on the earth: war, hunger, and a great shaking. Even kings hid in caves from the wrath of the Lamb. Jesus is that Lamb, and the day of peace Micah saw belongs to Him.
