God’s certain judgment of Israel
Amos 7
- Amos prayed for his nation (vs 2, 5). Do you pray for your nation?
- A plumbline indicates whether an item is upright or not. What plumbline do you use to check your soul?
- Can you imagine a priest who does not want to hear the word of God (vs 10-13)?
- God doesn’t require college education of all His prophets (vs 14).
Amos 8
- Some people are fastidious about religious ritual, but immoral most of their lives (vs 5).
- Imagine a land without food. Now imagine a famine of hearing the words of the Lord (vs 11).
Amos 9
- David knew (Psalm 139) that man can’t hide from God. Amos delivers the same message (vs 1-4).
