This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Micah 5:6–6:8 (5:7–6:8 in English versions). It accompanies the Torah portion Balak (Numbers 22:2–25:9).

This passage begins with a prophecy about Israel’s restoration and the punishment of her enemies. Then follows God’s indictment of His people for their infidelity. The Haftorah concludes with a well-known summary of what God requires of us in order to walk in harmony with Him. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

There is a famous song by Led Zeppelin titled “A Stairway to Heaven.” I wonder if Led was influenced by the misunderstanding of the story of the Tower of Babel when he wrote this popular piece of music. After having the opportunity to see the place and the base of the structure that symbolized sacred space in the ancient world, I am convinced that what we call in English the Tower of Babel was actually an invitation for the pagan gods to visit earth. Unfortunately, for the poor pagans who lived on the plains in biblical Iraq, the one true God RSVPed, came down the stairway FOR heaven, and the rest is history!
