It seems pretty clear from the writings of the prophet Micah how God feels about “high places”.

“…disgrace will not overtake us.” is an example of the sin of rationalization. It could be a substitute for “There’s nothing wrong with abortion.” Or “Homosexual marriages are okay, they’re not really hurting anyone. Or “An affair isn’t so bad. We’re consenting adults. Everybody does it.” We could fill in the blank with a multitude of sins in our world, our church, our lives.

A foreshadowing of the ultimate restoration and deliverance is found here:
Micah 2:13
One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them, the LORD at their head."

Who is it that opens the way? What is the way? What does it mean to break through the gate? Jesus’ followers were called Followers of the Way.
