AmosVs. 1-2 A “lamenting”… cut down in prime of life… due to sin.

Gen. 15:5 as the stars in the sky… will not happen!

Psalm 90:1212 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

 

Vs. 3-4 The warriors defeated in mass.

You have faith in YHWH and let it play out in your life.

Seek and you will find… what are you seeking?

Life abundant…. Or wages of sin? 

Vs. 5-6Bethel – Gilgal –

centers now of aberrant cultic worship.  Seek Not the places of hypocritical worship…

but real worship… the real LORD.  

 

Like 6 times above.. “Fire”

Jesus will baptize with HS and Fire. Luke 3:16

6 Days and a 1 Day 1 Hour Worship Experience?Or the real LORD?

 

Vs. 7-9 Justice/Righteousness into bitter herbs (wormwood). Creator God… made the Pleiades and Orion.…darkness and the light, and the seas…

He is sovereign even over destruction! 

 

Vs. 10-11 People abhor the good truth…want the lies that bless w/out responsibility or accountability.

Do we deserve blessing because we: …are Elect… are Israel.. are Americans? 

 

 

Vs. 12-15 Afflict the righteous,

take bribes, turn away those in need.

A sarcastic tone.You have made your bed.

Vs. 16-20 God passes thru their midst.Similarities again… to Joel… to Jesus.Woe’s… and the Day of the Lord. Matthew 23:13 13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.” 

 

Vs. 21-24I hate your fake religion.

Matthew 23:25-26 25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the

plate, but inside you are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and

the plate, that the outside also may be clean.”   

 

Some love to study the Apocalypse “Revelation” with flow charts and time lines…

Yet mistreat their spouses…Argue what “Tithe” means…

Drive past the poor.And get goose bumps at worship.

WWJS?

 

Vs. 25-27  whether it’s this King and Star God of Saturn… or if it’s shrine and pedestal….

The point is…

guilt for idolatry and the subsequent exile… diaspora..

that God had promised in the Sinai Covenant. 

 

6:1-3 Woe at Zion (Judah?), Mtn of Samaria. We all are seeking security…. Do we seek security

above God’s will for our lives? 

Go to Calneh (?), Hamath (Syria), Gath (Philistine)Sarcasm… are you better?

If you do evil like them… your ruin is secured just as well…

 

Vs. 4-6 Beds of ivory. Couches. Eating. Singing.

Luxury. Drinking wine. Anoint with oils.

But don’t grieve over the coming destruction… 

Vs. 7-10 God abhors strong storage of food, wealth, weapons, money…

yet disregard Him and goodness and do evil.

Don’t speak YHWH’s name so as not to provoke Him further.

 

Vs. 11-14Prideful boastings of victories… without the Lord...without practicing justice…

God says they will pay.

 

Vs. 11-14Prideful boastings of victories… without the Lord...without practicing justice…

What about us…Let’s check ourselves… repent… boast in the

Lord and practice justice!
