Word of Truth

 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and might, to declare his transgression unto Jacob and Israel his sin. ~ Micah 3:8 The word repentance is less spoken of in the Christian circle today, and whenever it is, it is with flippancy.

Before the fulfillment, however, there was a long period of waiting. What happened during this waiting time, and what is it that we can learn from it? Two things happen during this waitin
