Micah 1:1-9
The Lord gave this message to Micah of Moresheth during the years when Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah. The visions he saw concerned both Samaria and Jerusalem.Attention! Let all the people of the world listen! Let the earth and everything in it hear. The Sovereign Lord is making accusations against you; the Lord speaks from his holy Temple.Look! The Lord is coming! He leaves his throne in heaven and tramples the heights of the earth.The mountains melt beneath his feet and flow into the valleys like wax in a fire, like water pouring down a hill.And why is this happening? Because of the rebellion of Israel— yes, the sins of the whole nation. Who is to blame for Israel’s rebellion? Samaria, its capital city! Where is the center of idolatry in Judah? In Jerusalem, its capital!“ So I, the Lord, will make the city of Samaria a heap of ruins. Her streets will be plowed up for planting vineyards. I will roll the stones of her walls into the valley below, exposing her foundations.All her carved images will be smashed. All her sacred treasures will be burned. These things were bought with the money earned by her prostitution, and they will now be carried away to pay prostitutes elsewhere.”Therefore, I will mourn and lament. I will walk around barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.For my people’s wound is too deep to heal. It has reached into Judah, even to the gates of Jerusalem.

Zechariah 5:1-4
I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.“ What do you see?” the angel asked.“ I see a flying scroll,” I replied.“ It appears to be about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide.”Then he said to me,“ This scroll contains the curse that is going out over the entire land. One side of the scroll says that those who steal will be banished from the land; the other side says that those who swear falsely will be banished from the land.And this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: I am sending this curse into the house of every thief and into the house of everyone who swears falsely using my name. And my curse will remain in that house and completely destroy it— even its timbers and stones.”

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

Isaiah 8:4-8
For before this child is old enough to say‘ Papa’ or‘ Mama,’ the king of Assyria will carry away both the abundance of Damascus and the riches of Samaria.”Then the Lord spoke to me again and said,“ My care for the people of Judah is like the gently flowing waters of Shiloah, but they have rejected it. They are rejoicing over what will happen to King Rezin and King Pekah.Therefore, the Lord will overwhelm them with a mighty flood from the Euphrates River— the king of Assyria and all his glory. This flood will overflow all its channelsand sweep into Judah until it is chin deep. It will spread its wings, submerging your land from one end to the other, O Immanuel.

Isaiah 7:7-8
But this is what the Sovereign Lord says:“ This invasion will never happen; it will never take place;for Syria is no stronger than its capital, Damascus, and Damascus is no stronger than its king, Rezin. As for Israel, within sixty five years it will be crushed and completely destroyed.

Zechariah 1:6
But everything I said through my servants the prophets happened to your ancestors, just as I said. As a result, they repented and said,‘ We have received what we deserved from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. He has done what he said he would do.’”
