His role as a true prophet is to deliver God's message, regardless of its popularity or acceptance. This highlights the biblical theme of the courage and integrity required to speak God's truth, as seen in other prophets like Elijah and Jeremiah.<p><b>“You will soon see</b><br>This phrase indicates the certainty of the prophecy. Micaiah is confident in the fulfillment of God's word, a common trait among true prophets. The assurance of prophetic fulfillment is a recurring theme in the Bible, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the reliability of His word, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>.<p><b>on that day</b><br>The phrase "on that day" often signifies a specific time of judgment or fulfillment in biblical prophecy. It underscores the immediacy and inevitability of God's plans. This is similar to other prophetic declarations, such as those found in the books of Joel and Zephaniah, which speak of the "day of the Lord."<p><b>when you go and hide</b><br>This part of the prophecy foretells the fear and desperation that will overcome those who oppose God's will. It reflects the biblical principle that those who reject God's truth will ultimately face consequences, as seen in the stories of Saul and Judas Iscariot.<p><b>in an inner room.”</b><br>The inner room symbolizes a place of supposed safety and secrecy, yet it will not provide protection from God's judgment. This imagery is reminiscent of other biblical accounts where hiding from God's judgment proves futile, such as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It also foreshadows the ultimate futility of seeking refuge apart from God, a theme echoed in Revelation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/micaiah.htm">Micaiah</a></b><br>A prophet of the Lord who is known for speaking the truth, even when it is unpopular or dangerous.
