God Requires Justice, Mercy and Humbleness, NOT Animal Sacrifice! By Micah. Ed. Dr. Chapman Chen





Micah is adamant that God will not be pleased with animal sacrifice, that He will only appreciate justice, mercy and humbleness:-

 

 "With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:6-8 NIV)


Micah was a prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of judgment and restoration. He lived in the 8th century BCE and was from Moresheth, a small town in Judah. Micah's prophecies were directed mainly towards Jerusalem and Samaria, condemning animal sacrifice, idolatry, social injustice, and the corruption of the wealthy and powerful. He was a contemporary of other vegan prophets like Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea.
