2. Why were the kingdoms of Israel and Judah going to fall? (Micah 1:5-7)
Note: The United Kingdom of Israel split into two kingdoms after the death of Solomon (see Rehoboam). Samaria was the capital city of the northern Kingdom of Israel (the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph/Ephraim/Manasseh and part of Levi) who became the "Lost Ten Tribes" after they were taken away into captivity by the Assyrians (see Ancient Empires - Assyria) and Jerusalem was the capital of the southern Kingdom of Judah (the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and part of Levi) who were taken into captivity by the armies of King Nebuchadnezzar (see Ancient Empires - Babylon)
3. Will all nations send representatives to worship in Jerusalem after The Return Of Jesus Christ? (Micah 4:1-2)
4. Will Jerusalem be the capital of the earth? (Micah 4:2-3)
5. Will there then be an end to war, as summed up in the famous, "swords into plowshares"? (Micah 4:3)
