6) “‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins so that you will not receive any of her plagues.” This is a warning for believers to run away from Babylon and sin.

7) God will exercise judgments and consequences for the sins of Babylon against His people, Israel.

8 ) Babylon will face double restitution for its evil ways. She will suffer torment and grief. Plagues will overtake her. Death, mourning, and famine will overtake her too. She will be consumed by fire.

9) God remembers His people. He does not let sin or evil doings go unpunished. God is good, caring, and compassionate to His people. He will exercise judgment in His timing.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 23, Day 3: Revelation 18:4-8

God does keep His word, and it’s comforting to know this in my heart.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 23, Day 3: Revelation 18:4-8

John is warning God’s people to flee from sin and temptations around them. Elsewhere in Scripture, we see God and prophets telling the people to flee from sin (Isaiah 52:11), (Jeremiah 51:45), (Jeremiah 50:8), (2 Corinthians 6:14), (Ephesians 5:11).

Their sins are many, including pride, selfishness, and material things over God.

God will give back to Babylon double restitution for its evil ways. In Biblical times, if you stole something, double restitution was the penalty (Exodus 22:4-9).

God remembering means he is about to act on a promise.

The punishment will be sudden.

BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 23, Day 3: Micah 3

by atozmom, posted in BSF People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided 2022/2023

SUMMARY OF MICAH 3

Micah rebukes the leaders and false prophets of Israel and Judah for hating good and loving evil. The people will cry out to God who will hide His face from them.

The prophets judge others and are hypocrites. They will not be able to see the future anymore. They will be ashamed and disgraced. They will cover their faces because God has abandoned them.

The prophets despise justice and distort what is right. They build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with wickedness. Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Because of these sins, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.

8a) He was filled with power and the Spirit of the Lord with justice and might to declare Judah’s and Israel’s sins.

b) I don’t truly know. I do what is right at work. With my kids. Those I meet. And with my beliefs.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 23, Day 3: Micah 3

I love the emphasis on false prophets and their judgment. We must always be wary of our leaders and make sure they are leading according to God’s laws.

End Notes BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 23, Day 3: Micah 3

The leaders of God’s people are violent to the people. Like cannibals eating the people. God will not answer these false leaders or the false prophets when they cry out to Him.

Leaders are held accountable and hold more responsibility than others.

The leaders, the priests, and the prophets are all condemned by Micah here and would face judgment.

Jerusalem will follow Samaria’s fate.

God’s people listened to Micah and repented. But soon, God would be forgotten, and sin would reemerge, leading to exile.
