先知米該亞的時代，經濟狀況相對良好——但僅限於少數人。

少數人的財富是以窮人和受壓迫階級的財富為代價的。他們遭受了無情的剝削。

同時，富人忘記了上主，甚至嘲弄先知的預言：「假若有人隨從虛妄而撒謊說：「我要對你預言清酒和醇酒。」這人必可作這民族的先知。」（二11）

正因如此，先知才發出他的預言。違抗、犯罪和暴力必將受到懲罰。

這條法則在今天依然適用。這只是時間的問題。

The times of prophet Micha were times of relatively good economic situation – for a few people. The richness of the few was paid by the poor and oppressed classes. They were exploited mercilessly.

Together with this, the rich were forgetful of God, even mocking prophecy: “If a man should go about and utter wind and lies, saying, “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” he would be the prophet for this people!” (2:11)

Against all this, the prophet pronounces his oracles. Punishment will follow disobedience, sin and violence.

Such a rule holds to our days. It is just a matter of time.
