Episode Details

Amos delivers a prophetic judgment to Israel during the height of her prosperity. It’s such a striking indictment that it comes across to them as if someone had read their own obituary in the newspaper. 

All the justice they withheld from others would finally be delivered to them.

BUT… Those harsh words still contain hope, because even though national judgment was absolutely certain, personal repentance was still a possibility.

Even though we may feel helpless about the ever-shifting and ever-eroding trends of our society, we do have the ability to distinguish ourselves before God. If we choose to cling to righteousness at all costs, then it ultimately proves the truth about the God we claim to serve.
