Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does the name "Micah" or "Michayahu" mean, in the Hebrew language?

Answer: "Who Is Like Yahweh?"

Micayahu, shortened to Micahai, and even more abbreviated as Micah, means "Who Is Like Yahweh?" Micah even provides a hint to his own name and the concept of God as a unique being over all the universe in Chapter 7, vs. 18.

"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy." (King James Version)

Answer: they will be beaten to pieces

"And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces..."
(King James Version)

Micah describes how the people of Samaria have been living and shows just how useless their idol gods are to them.

3. What horrific action are the princes of Judah engaged in, at least in a prophetic or metaphorical way, as described in Micah 3? (King James Version)

Answer: cannibalism

"And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron." - Micah 3:1-3, King James Version.

4. Micah 4:3 is almost identical in its wording to another verse in the Old Testament/Tanakh. Which other Bible book contains very similar wording in the King James Version? "And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

Answer: Isaiah

The rendering found in Isaiah 2:4 is almost identical to that found in Micah.

"And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

5. "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratha, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel: whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." (Micah 5:2 KJV) Along with Jerusalem, this location has been called the "city of... WHOM"?

Answer: David

Bethlehem at the time of Christ was a small town in Judah; it now lies in Israel on the West Bank of the Jordan River. Beit Lahm, as it is called today, has long been believed to be the birthplace of Christ, especially by Christians.

Although Jerusalem is known as the "city of David", Bethlehem has been referred to the same way. This area was King David's ancestral home, and as such, has properly been called his city, as well as the city of Jerusalem.

Answer: Israel will beat many people in pieces

In the 13th verse, Micah prophesies that God "... will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many people; and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth." (King James Version)

Compare this to the fate of the graven images in Micah 1:7. The same thing happens to these enemies of God who attack His people; the Jewish people beat both of them to pieces.

7. In Micah 5, a "remnant" or a remaining group of Jacob's descendants (Jews), are to be left alive, but where will they be living, according to Micah 5:7 and 8?

Answer: in the midst of many people

"And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people..." (verse 7).

"And the remnant of Jacob shall be in among the Gentiles in the midst of many people..." (verse 8).

One of God's purposes for Israel may be for that nation to be a blessing for all the earth, based on His promise to Isaac in Genesis 26:4.

"... and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;"

8. In chapter 7 of Micah, as he replies back to the Lord's pleadings with His people, he says that good men perish out of the earth, leaving evil people to do their deeds with "both hands earnestly" (7:3, KJV). What does he compare the 'best' of these evil men to, in verse 4?

Answer: a brier

"The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier..."

9. What type of lying prophet does Micah talk about in Micah 2:11, in the King James Version?

Answer: one who will tell the people about wine and strong drink

"If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people."

This verse seems to indicate that a prophet not walking in God's Holy Spirit, but in the spirit of man, will be allowed to mislead people who wish to be misled.

10. In Micah 7:18, why does he say that God does not retain His anger for ever?

Answer: because He delights in mercy

"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy."

(King James Version)
