2. THE(5)VISION
OFJUDGMENT

3. THEVISIONOF
THELOCUSTS

4. This is what the
Lord GOD showed me:
behold, he was forming locusts
when the latter growth was just
beginning to sprout, and
behold, it was the latter growth
after the king's mowings.

5. When they had finished eating
the grass of the land, I said,
“O Lord GOD, please forgive!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”

6. The LORD relented concerning
this:
“It shall not be,” said
the LORD.

7. ITSMEANING

8. THE LOCUSTS AND THE
GRASS
-The perishing of man who
broke relationship with God
-The creation can turn against
itself for its own destruction
THE SMALL MAN -Jacob, the deceiver state back to
the pre-existing condition
-The man who puts himself up
against God is small and
insignificant
GOD’S REPENTANCE God’s struggle between His love
and righteousness

9. THEVISIONOF
THEFIRE

10. This is what the
Lord GOD showed me: behold,
the Lord GOD was calling for a
judgment by fire, and it
devoured the great deep and
was eating up the land.

11. Then I said,
“O Lord GOD, please cease!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”

12. The LORD relented concerning
this:
“This also shall not be,” said
the Lord GOD.

13. ITSMEANING

14. Could pertain to a disastrous
drought
End of agriculture of all Israel

15. These first two visions
appear to illustrate God's
longsuffering due to the
prayers of the righteous

16. THEVISIONOF
THEPLUMBLINE

17. This is what he showed me:
behold, the Lord was standing
beside a wall built with a plumb
line, with a plumb line in his
hand.

18. And the LORD said to
me, “Amos, what do you see?”
And I said, “A plumb line.” Then
the Lord said,
“Behold, I am setting a plumb
line in the midst of my people
Israel; I will never again pass
by them;

19. the high places of Isaac shall be
made desolate, and the
sanctuaries of Israel shall be
laid waste, and I will rise
against the house of Jeroboam
with the sword.”

20. ITSMEANING

21. The plumb line -The moment of
measurement
-A comparison between
God’s character and the
people
The high places and
sanctuaries
-Idolatry

22. What we build will crumble
when we do not keep the
straight wall of God’s
character in view while we
build.

23. AMAZIAH’S
COMPLAINT
AGAINSTAMOS

24. Then Amaziah said to Amos,
“Get out, you seer! Go back to
the land of Judah. Earn your
bread there and do your
prophesying there.

25. Don’t prophesy anymore at
Bethel, because this is the
king’s sanctuary and the
temple of the kingdom.”

26. 1. Amaziah, priest of Bethel
(center of idolatrous
worship), accuses Amos of
conspiracy against Jeroboam
king of Israel
2. Amaziah tells Amos to leave
Bethel and go back to his
own country of Judah

27. Amos defends his prophetic
mission and then
prophesies against Amaziah
and Israel

28. THEVISIONOF
THESUMMER
FRUIT

29. This is what the
Sovereign LORD showed
me: a basket of ripe fruit.

30. “What do you see, Amos?” he
asked.
“A basket of ripe fruit,” I
answered.
Then the LORD said to me, “The
time is ripe for my people Israel;
I will spare them no longer.

31. “In that day,” declares the
Sovereign LORD, “the songs in
the temple will turn to wailing.
Many, many bodies—flung
everywhere! Silence!”

32. ITSMEANING

33. A day of mourning is coming
A day of famine for the word of
God is coming

34. THEVISIONOF
THELORDBY
THEALTAR

35. I saw the Lord standing by the altar,
and he said:
“Strike the tops of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads of all
the people; those who are left I will
kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
none will escape.

36. ITSMEANING

37. There is only one altar
in this world, which is
the place where God
revealed Himself- it is
the cross of Jesus Christ.

38. This is the day where
the judgment is
proclaimed upon the
sinful people and then
the judgment is
executed by Jesus.

39. AGLIMPSEOFA
BRIGHTERFUTURE

40. Restoration, repairing,
rebuilding- these are
actually the spiritual
blessings found in Jesus
Christ.

41. SUMMARY

42. Concerning God- that
He rules all the nations
and hold them
accountable

43. Concerning Israel
-that they were the people of
God, having a special
relationship with Him
- that they should have
reflected the glory of God

44. “The days are coming,” declares
the Sovereign LORD,
“when I will send a famine
through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst
for water,
but a famine of hearing the
words of the LORD.

45. People will stagger from sea to
sea and wander from north to
east, searching for the word of
the LORD, but they will not
find it.

46. Let's be sure that
we do not
experience a self-
imposed famine of
the Word.
