Who was Prophet Micah?

Micah was a Jewish prophet who prophesied from about 737-696 BCE in Judah, and is the author of the Old Testament Book of Micah. He is classified as one of the twelve "minor prophets" of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and was a contemporary of Isaiah, Amos, and Hosea. Micah was from Moresheth-Gath in southwest Judah, and prophesied during the reigns of kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah. Micah’s messages were directed primarily toward Jerusalem. He prophesied the future destruction of Jerusalem and Samaria, the destruction and future restoration of the Judean state, and rebuked the people of Judah for dishonesty and idolatry. His prophecy that the Messiah would be born in the town of Bethlehem is cited in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew.
