Micah 6:1-2
"Hear now what the Lord is saying, 'Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth, because the Lord has a case against His people; even with Israel He will dispute."
Micah begins to speak in law-language again. Once again, he takes on the role of lawyer for the Prosecution with a complaint about the way Israel is living.
Here we see that all of creation testifies to the sin of the people. I wonder what creation would say about the way that we live today. In Israel, the mountains and hills are like the jury. they hear the complaint that God brings against Israel. Israel is told to plead their case to the mountains as well.
The good news: Israel is still called God's people. They are people that need God and God comes to them. Just as God comes to us today. Just as we need God today.
Micah is saying that a court appearance must be made, but the results of the indictment will not be separation - but change.
He who is like Jehovah will remove sin - and live!
