The Prophet Micah wrote his biblical account around 750 B.C., but his message is mainly for God’s loyal remnant today. Those who hold fast will receive a reward beyond comprehension!

God’s Greatest Masterpiece

Thankfully, the most spectacular news we could ever hear follows quickly after the Great Tribulation. “But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it” (Micah 4:1-4).

God will soon rule the Earth. All people will worship Him. He will abolish war and ensure peace and prosperity for all. He will show the world that only His way of life—not the disastrous way of Adam and Eve—produces happiness.

“For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever” (verse 5). This verse seems contradictory at first, but it reveals the purpose for man! How can people look to their own gods and still worship the Father and Son in unity? God’s little flock today will be God beings tomorrow, sharing the throne of David with Jesus Christ and helping Him rule for all eternity! People all over the world will worship the God being in charge of their region. There may be more than one God in the World Tomorrow but still only one God Family—and only one God reigning supreme.

This is what the late Herbert W. Armstrong wrote in The Incredible Human Potential:

So mark well this super-vital truism—that perfect, holy and righteouscharacter is the supreme feat of accomplishment possible for Almighty God the Creator—it is also the means to His ultimate supreme PURPOSE! His final objective! …

Now came the CROWNING PINNACLE of even God’s unmatched creativePOWER! Now came the very zenith of all divine accomplishment! Now came a project so incredulously transcendently AWESOME it is hard for the human mind to grasp.

How could the great GOD—self-existent, before all else, CREATOR of all else, reproduce HIMSELF into multiplied millions of others JUST LIKE HIMSELF—divine, supreme in power, perfect in character—each by his own choice perfectlylike-minded with the Father, each having so set himself that he CANNOT SIN?

God is re-creating Himself! We are His greatest masterpiece! Nothing is more challenging than turning carnal, selfish humans into sinless, immortal gods.

“I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make GREAT NOISE by reason of the multitude of men” (Micah 2:12). To find where God dwells today, look for a worldwide work making a great noise! We sound the alarm in all nations—on TV and through other mediums. God’s loyal remnant will receive the greatest reward.

The times ahead are daunting, but God uses trials to challenge us to see our extraordinary potential! Study this inspiring subject, and God will bless you beyond measure.
