Credo-Micah and Isaiah were they in the Nude?
Different OT scholar say different things about the prophesying nakedness of both Micah and Isaiah. The accepted evangelical approach is that they actually ran around in their under tunics. There are problems with that interpretation though because the prophecy in Isaiah 20 is so specific. It relates to the humiliation of Egypt by the Assyrians. The Assyrians were known for this kind of behavior when they took alien peoples captive. It lightens the impact for us and makes it more palpable but is it correct? -I have taught through the past that they actually were running around naked but the more I think about it, the more I question my past teaching.
