Opis

People do experience various types of deprivation in life, for example, lack of land, education, job opportunities, no means of production; no access to basic things or necessities in life. These deprivations, in many cases, have led people to have millennial types of thinking and form millennial movements in many parts of world from ancient times to the present. This paper sought to investigate the causes of deprivation which in most cases caused the formation of millennial movements. It also investigated the cause of deprivations in Micah, the eighth century prophet, with the view of understanding and interpreting this prophetic book.
