GOD'S Judgment Upon Judah and Israel

JUDGMENT UPON JUDAH (2:4, 5), for
Rejecting the Word of God and not keeping His commandments.
John 14:15; Matt. 22:29; Romans 2:17-29;

JUDGMENT UPON ISRAEL for:
Oppressing the poor
Corruption and bribery
Immorality
Stealing from the poor
Idolatry and drinking
Proverbs 14:31; and

FORGETTING WHAT GOD HAD DONE FOR THEM
Joshua 24:8; Genesis 15:16; Isaiah 30:9,10; Amos 7:10-13; Jeremiah 11:21.

God's judgment was inevitable and inescapable (2:14-16).

Amos' message was not a popular message, but it was one he had to deliver. Fifteen times in the book of Amos we read these words, “Thus saith the LORD.”

G. Campbell Morgan once heard someone say, “The preacher must catch the spirit of the age.” Morgan replied, “God forgive him if he does. The preacher's business is to correct the spirit of the age.”
