So, this is yet another prophet telling the people what will happen to them. However, they seem to be focused on the wealthy and their downfall, as well as chastising them for their treatment of the poor. It talks about the judgment against Samaria and Jerusalem and the difference between the human plans and God's plans. It speaks of judges taking bribes, priests teaching for a price, and prophets telling futures for money. God is not happy with the way the people are acting and Micah is sent to tell them to turn to God instead.
The psalm says that the Lord tells hm to sit at his right hand until he makes enemies a footstool for his feet. It seems to mean don't turn from God but run to him and God will take care of those working against you. That he will crush your enemies and judge the nations, which seems a reminder that God will take care of things.

Ok. So my question is, is this an other prophet talking about the same destruction or is this a different time? If it's another one talking about the same one then God really did give them a lot of time to try and change before he destroyed them.
I am going to add that it also sounds like he is telling him that he will be a king and a priest. The mention of Melchizedek gives us an indication of something bigger in store for him.
