Sunday School Lesson HOPE FOR A BETTER DAY ?* Micah was called of God to denounce the terrible evils blighting his people ? oppression of the poor, unscrupulous um of power, lack of integrity, scorn of religion, and H corruption in both the religious and political circles, stressed that one's religion should manifest itself in Ivlng. Micah also denounced the sins of the princes, the priests and the prophets. They had failed to honor God because they were seeking their own advancement. God was not pleased with conformity with the outward forms of worship when the eternal principles of right and wrong were disregarded. For all their offenses against God and their fellowmen they were to be punished. Micah 4:1-5 Micah did not limit his description of conditions as they were In his day, but he portrayed them as they will be at the end of this age. After warning the people that their rejec tion of God would bring sorrow and judgment, he pro phesied of the glory that is to come during the future reign of the Prince of Peace. The phrase, "in the last days, refers to the time when the people shall go up to Jerusalem to hear God's Word, to seek His will, and to learn to walk in His ways. Micah visualised multitudes from different na tions, who had previously walked in their sinful ways, journeying to Jerusalem, which will be a city of excep tional beauty and brilliant splendor, in search of instruc tion from the Lord. Corruption kept Jerusalem from being the kind of place ..that God wanted it to be in Micah's time, and the prophet was a glorious day in the future when sin and idolatry shall be abolished. The Messiah shall reign, nations shall be blessed, and war shall no longer menace the world. Micah's age, like our own, was characterized by materialism, but this coming age is to be characterized by spirituality It will be a time of peace, safety, and satisfac tion. War will be abolished, and the weapons of destruction In The News Mr. and Mrs. Don Chesson and family of Raleigh were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Chesson. Mrs. H.C.

"They shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree" refers to the fruitfulness of the ground. When peace becomes permanent, fear will disappear. Micah made it clear that God's kingdom will be supreme, univer sal, Christ-centered, peaceful, and prosperous. Micah 5:2-4 This beautiful passage is one of the most remarkable predictions in the Old Testament. Micah referred to Jesus Christ who would be born in Bethlehem, a little village in one of the divisions of Palestine. This prophecy, which was made seven centuries before the birth of ChrUMdentified the exact place making the prophecy and its fulfilment a testimony to the inspiration of the Bible. There is none other who can fulfull Micah's prediction than Jesus Christ who was born at Bethlehem, was crucified on Calvary, was raised from among the dead, and was received back into heaven, from whence He will come again to reign in rightousness, governing with equity, justice and truth. Christ Jesus will rule without fear or favor and win ad minister justice to to all. His rule will be characterized by stability, strength, compassion, and justice.
