The "Book of Micah" begins with a direct reference to the (Ethiopic) Book of Enoch,
which condemns all bloodshed, whether of animals or humans, as well as mining, making weaponry, writing, cosmetics, and the accumulation of wealth. By beginning his scriptures with this reference, Micah is showing that he affirms the values of original Judaism, namely vegetarianism in diet, an egalitarian economics in which there is no accumulation of goods or wealth for an elite few, and compassion for all creatures.

1: 3 For lo, the LORD is coming out of his place, and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.

1; 4 Then the mountains will melt under him and the valleys will burst open, like wax near the fire,

In the Book of Enoch 1: 3-6 these scriptures read:

The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling,
4 And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai,
[And appear from His camp]
And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens.
5 And all shall be smitten with fear
And the Watchers shall quake,
And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth.
6 And the high mountains shall be shaken,
And the high hills shall be made low,
And shall melt like wax before the flame.

  The work is referred to as the Ethiopic Book of Enoch because it is the Ethiopians who retained it in its purity.  The Deity of the Book of Enoch is Shiva, Lord of Seven Worlds, surrounded by tongues of fire, who as Sheba was the Lord of the Shabbath (the Sabbath), the main male deity of the earliest Jews.   We see in other parts of this study that the God of the Jews was also the God of the Ethiopians and Egyptians, and, rather tellingly, as far as the Hindu origins of Judaism are concerned, that God's kingdom stretched all the way to India.

"What is the transgression of Jacob?  Is it not Samaria?   And what is the sin of the house of Judah?  Is it not Jerusalem?   Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the open country, a place for planting vineyards; and I will pour down her stones into the valley and uncover her foundations.

7 All her images shall be beaten to pieces, all her wages shall be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay waste; for as the wages of a prostitute she gathered them, and as the wages of a prostitute they shall again be used.
 

  In the last part of verse 7, Micah, like Ezekiel in Ezekiel 16 likens Samaria (and Jerusalem) to a prostitute, because the patriarchs of Judaism have sold out, that is, have comprised their original vegetarian values in order to make money selling the flesh of the sacrificed animals.

   In the verses of lamentation for the fall of Samaria and Jerusalem, we should be reminded that the image of rolling in the dust, which is relatively common in the Old Testament, is a reference to Shiva with his ashes and sackcloth.

8 For this I will lament and wail; I will go barefoot and naked; I will make lamentation like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.

9 For her wound is incurable. It has come to Judah; it has reached to the gate of my people, to Jerusalem.

10 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; in Beth-leaphrah roll yourselves in the dust.
 

"With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?  Will the lord be pleased with thousands of rams....Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?  He has showed you, O man what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"  6: 6-8.
 

1: 16 Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair for your pampered children; make yourselves as bald as the eagle, for they have gone from you into exile.

For some Hindus, cutting off one's hair was done as a sign of mourning. This once again shows the Hindu origins of Judaism.
 

1 Alas for those who devise wickedness and evil deeds on their beds! When the morning dawns, they perform it, because it is in their power.

2 They covet fields, and seize them; houses, and take them away; they oppress householder and house, people and their inheritance.

3 Therefore thus says the LORD: Now, I am devising against this family an evil from which you cannot remove your necks; and you shall not walk haughtily, for it will be an evil time.

4 On that day they shall take up a taunt song against you, and wail with bitter lamentation, and say, "We are utterly ruined; the LORD alters the inheritance of my people; how he removes it from me! Among our captors he parcels out our fields."
 

   I have quoted the chapter in full so that the reader can easily perceive the similarities to the "Book of Revelations," and also, to show that, contrary to what the orthodoxies of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and even some Hindus and Buddhists have to say, the accumulation of wealth through industry as we know it is a vice and not a virtue.  Virtually all industry is based on the exploitation, oppression, enslavement, slaughter, or displacement of other creatures living in nature. The original Jews, like the true Jains and Hindus, recognized that all acts oppressing other creatures were evil, ungodly.  The underlining is mine.

1 And there I saw One who had a head of days,
And His head was white like wool,
And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man,
And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.
2 And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that 3 Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and) why he went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me:
This is the son of Man who hath righteousness,
With whom dwelleth righteousness,
And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden,
Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him,
And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever.
4 And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen
Shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats,
[And the strong from their thrones]
And shall loosen the reins of the strong,
And break the teeth of the sinners.
5 [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms]
Because they do not extol and praise Him,
Nor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them.
6 And he shall put down the countenance of the strong,
And shall fill them with shame.
And darkness shall be their dwelling,
And worms shall be their bed,
And they shall have no hope of rising from their beds,
Because they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits.
7 And these are they who judge the stars of heaven,
[And raise their hands against the Most High],
And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it.
And all their deeds manifest unrighteousness,
And their power rests upon their riches,
And their faith is in the gods which they have made with their hands,
And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits,
8 And they persecute the houses of His congregations,
And the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of Spirits.
 

4: 3 ...they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more;

4: 4 but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
 

 Arise and thresh, O daughter Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples, and shall devote their gain to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth. 4: 13.

  In this scripture the image of threshing is significant, for threshing the chaff from the kernel is essential to vegetarians who eat the grains of the earth, and Jerusalem was originally known as Jebus, meaning God's threshing place in ancient Hebrew.  Zion, which is not a reference to the lands of Judaism alone, but to the universal religion of which Judaism is a part, is portrayed with an iron horn and bronze hooves. This may be seen as a horned animal in general--horned animals being vegetarian--but in particular it probably refers to the Cow or Bull.  In context of the next scripture, referring to the Lord of the whole earth, it probably meant bull, for Shiva was known as Seb in Egypt, one of Seb's titles was "Lord of the Earth," and the bull was associated with Shiva. Temples of Shiva in India have sculptures of bulls in front of them.
