A Season of Divine Silence
Micah prophesies a period where God would "give them up," meaning He would withdraw His manifest protection, leading to hardship and exile. Scholars explain this wasn't abandonment but a time of discipline and waiting, stretching from the exile until the Messiah's arrival. This season of divine silence was meant to build anticipation for the promised Ruler.
