: about the times of Moshiach. Michah was probably a student of Yeshayahu and

The gemara assumes that Mikhah and Yeshaiah were misnab'im at the same
time. Speaking about the various nevi'im who collapsed the 613 mitzvos
into fewer and fewer categories (Sotah 14a), "Isaiah came and reduced
them to 6... Mikhah came and reduced them to 3... Isaiah returned and
reduced them to two..." So Yeshaiah was in business before and after
a statement by Mikhah.
