Two summary points about the whole sermon set up a close look at how 7:7-23 holds together as one interconnected unit rather than a loose string of sayings. The two gates of 7:13 and Micah’s own warnings against false prophets in 3:5-12 both bear on the same danger: false prophets operating inside the church as much as outside it. What marks them, the sermon insists, is a ministry with no cross in it at all.
