    "To distinguish the one true God and his righteousness from idolatry and its evils is the theme of true prophecy."
    Richard Bauckham, The Theology of the Book of Revelation

    Who is like you among the gods, O Yah?
        Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
        Awesome in praises, working wonders?
    You stretched out your right hand,
        The earth swallowed [your enemies].
    In your lovingkindness you have
        led the people whom you have redeemed
    In your strength you have guided them
        to your holy habitation.
                                     The Song of Moses
                                        Exodus 15:11-13

    A Commentary on Micah
    By Bruce K. Waltke

    Who Is Like Yah?

    "Mi-ca-iah" is a sentence name, meaning "Who [Heb. mi] is like [k] Yah [iah]?"
    -Bruce K. Waltke, A Commentary on Micah

    Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
        and passing over transgression
        for the remnant of His inheritance?
    He does not retain his anger forever,
        because he delights in steadfast love.
    -Micah 7:12


    I've been thinking about the origins of my name and the ministry of my namesake. Bought a commentary by Bruce Waltke on the book. Supposed to be one of the best. Micah of Moresheth was a prophet of God. Get out of your head: "predicted the future". The ministry of the prophets was so much bigger, so much deeper, than we realize. Think: "spoke for God". We have no idea what they're really saying, what the Spirit is saying to the church through them. I'm irresistibly drawn to studying the prophets right now. So I thought, why not start with Micah? I was named for him. I've been thinking lately about that. Nothing is chance.
    Oh, God, may my life confirm the witness and testimony of the name I bear! The incomparability of my sovereign King and beloved Father. The question "Who is like Yah?" is meant to emphasize the uniqueness of I AM. Because the answer is no one. He is completely other. Holy. Sovereign. The one true God.

    "There is no one like our God;
    There is no one like You, God..."


  • Hey people. It's me, Micah. I've got a new xanga. A fresh start. I want to write more again. We'll see how this goes. Oh, and the new user name, it has an implied question mark at the end. More on that later...
