Amos 7:
God sent
locust to eat the harvest of Israel and used a plumb line to show that God will
not stand for Israel again. Israel will be wasted and lie desolate by the
sword; even the house of King Jeroboam of Israel shall perish by the sword.
The
same priest, who went to report Amos to King Jeroboam about Amos saying God
would destroy the king’s house, now went to advice Amos to flee to Judah and
prophesize over there and not in Israel. Amos then told the priest that he was
not a prophet but a shepherd and fig farmer, but God chose him to bring God’s
word to Israel. Amos then declared that the priest wife will become a
prostitute, his children fall by the sword, his land will be divided, and he
will die in a foreign land because Israel will go into exile. |

Amos 8:
God has
given up on Israel and would never support them again. Israel will be filled
with mourning, wailing, death, and silence. God said to those who enjoy
trampling on the poor and needy as well as those driven by making money (selling
on the Sabbath, making dishonest scales, encouraging slavery, and providing
inferior food for gain) that God was going to destroy them and toss them away
like rubbish. A day was coming to Israel where there will be famine for the
word of God. People will seek the word of God but will not find it.
Amos 9:
God stood
by the altar and said that the capitals should be broken and the rest of the
land be destroyed by the sword until there are no survivors or fugitive.
God
says Israelis are like the children of Sudan/Ethiopia to God and God had rescued them
from Egypt, Philistines, and Arameans. God was going to destroy the sinful
nations, but Israel will not be destroyed totally. God will later restore
Israel.
