When COVID began, I asked God why this was happening and turned to the Bible and he brought me to the end of the Book of Amos. Now I understand why. God is a God of justice, power and mercy.

Amos' descriptions of Israel at that time really reminds me of our current status in society today.... scary but true

Thank you so much for these videos. Every time before I start reading a new book I have to watch these videos to help me understand.

I think it’s important to note that the day of the Lord is not only describing the fall of Israel, but also death and the final judgement. That Amos warns us to turn to God because death is just behind the corner and you need to turn to God before that happens

I'm studying the prophet books, and your videos have brought so much more purpose to my studying. Thank you so much!! My eyes are so much more opened and the bible is coming to life to me in new ways.

Thank you for all that you do. These Old Testament books are rather complex and you do a great job of explaining them so that everyday folks like myself can grasp them.

[FranFyrhart]

Amazing. This book was a pretty hard read because of the scary images of God's justice among the nations but it's amazing to see that God punishes to restore at the end.

A favorite verse from Amos is 3:7 "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."

[Monkofmagnesia]

The book of Amos begins with and ends with the mention of an earthquake. This is appropriate as Amos is about to turn the world (of the North) upside down. Amos used as his tool satire. The book of AMos is a short book but powerful which resonates to this day.

ISAIAH 30 - AMOS
“Who say to the seers, “Do not see, ” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things; speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.” (Isaiah 30:10)

WORDD BY: FATHER
"What does it mean to be a messenger? To be a messenger means to speak truth in love regardless if it offends people. Many cannot do this because they do not want to rock the boat too much for the sake of peace. But is it really peace they are keeping, or is it false peace because they are afraid of reactions? By not standing up for righteousness and speaking truth when you should, you help settle others into delusion, and prevent them from receiving the light they needed. I never asked you to please everyone but to be a faithful mouthpiece for Me. How do you know they won’t remember your words in the days ahead in which may save them from disaster? Being a messenger of light you will often offend people because of your love for the truth. But you must not be disheartened by this for My Son above all knew the greatest rejection. Your vision is not to save the world but to be a light. Therefore, when I send you on the field to minister as I sent Amos, you are going there to sow, to water and to harvest. Leave the rest in My hands.

What does it mean to be a receiver? It means to listen to My voice through others; not just when good things are spoken, but when corrections and rebukes are given. If you view rebukes as a good thing you would yearn for them as any wise man would because you know the spiritual value in them. He who welcomes rebukes has made himself a disciple, for rebukes are a way of life. We cannot walk together unless you are in agreement with this. But if you stay in humility, receiving words when given and giving words when I speak them, then you will walk in the fruits of your harvest."

The irony is that Jeroboam II was successful in conquering the land, but in God's eyes, he was one of worst king in prophet's eyes. He ignored the poor and justice.
