Therefore
(Micah 7:7-20) is, primarily, the confession and intercession of the prophet, who identifies himself with Israel.
Compare (Daniel 9:3-19).
Intercession was a test of the prophetic office; (Jeremiah 27:18); (Genesis 20:7) But Micah's prayer voices also the heart exercise of the remnant in the last days. Such is prophecy, an intermingling of the near and the far.
Compare (Psalms 22:1); (Matthew 27:46).
