Amos 9

Studie

   

1 Herren så jeg; han stod ved alteret og sagde: Til Søjlehovedet slår jeg, så Dørens Tærskel ryster. Jeg rammer dem alle i Hovedet, de sidste dræber jeg med Sværd; ingen af dem skal undfly, ingen af dem skal reddes.

2 Bryder de ind i Dødsriget, min Hånd skal hente dem der; stiger de op til Himlen, jeg styrter dem ned derfra;

3 skjuler de sig på Karmels Top, jeg finder og henter dem der; gemmer de sig for mig på Havsens Bund, jeg byder Slangen bide dem der;

4 vandrer de som Fanger for deres Fjender, jeg byder Sværdet dræbe dem der. Jeg fæster mit Øje på dem til Ulykke, ikke til Lykke.

5 Herren, Hærskarers HE E, som rører ved Jorden, så den skælver, så alle, som bor på den, sørger, så den stiger overalt som Nilen og synker som Ægyptens Flod,

6 han, som bygged sin Højsal i Himlen, som fæstned sit Hvælv på Jorden, kalder ad Havets Vande og gyder dem ud over Jorden, HE EN er hans Navn.

7 Er I mig ej som Ætiopiens Børn, Israeliter, lyder det fra HE EN; har jeg ikke ført Israel op fra Ægyptens Land, Filisterne fra Kaftor, Aram fra Kir?

8 Se, den Herre HE ENs Øjne er vendt mod det syndige ige, og jeg udsletter det af Jorden. Dog vil jeg ikke helt udslette Jakobs Hus, lyder det fra HE EN;

9 thi se, jeg byder, at Israels Hus skal sigtes blandt alle Folkene, som man sigter med Sold, uden at et Korn falder til Jorden.

10 For Sværdet skal alle Syndere i mit Folk , de, som siger: "Os når Ulykken ikke; den kommer ikke over Os."

11 På hin dag rejser jeg Davids faldne Hytte; jeg tætter dens evner, opfører, hvad der sank i Grus, og bygger den som i gamle Dage,

12 så de tager Edoms est i Eje og alle de Folk, over hvilke mit Navn er nævnt, lyder det fra HE EN, som fuldbyrder dette.

13 Se, Dage skal komme, lyder det fra HE EN, da Plovmand følger Høstmand i Hælene og Drueperser Sædemand, da Bjergene drypper med Most og alle Høje flyder.

14 Da vender jeg mit Folk Israels skæbne, og de skal bygge de ødelagte byer og bo deri, de skal plandte vingåre og drikke vinen, anlægge haver og spise frugten.

15 Jeg planter dem i deres jord, og de skal aldrig mere rykkes op af deres jord, som jeg gav dem, siger herren din Gud.

Exploring the Meaning of Amos 9

Napsal(a) Helen Kennedy

Here, in Amos 9, there's a warning that the Last Judgment would be thorough. None of the perpetrators of evil responsible for the demise of the church would escape it.

Prior churches had followed a similar path of spiritual ruination. But this time, the new church would not degenerate as the others had.

The Lord announced to Israel that a church would arise that will not perish. This New Church will worship and acknowledge the Lord. It will have soundness of doctrine and understanding - pictured by new wine, new gardens, and the abundance and beauty of the Lord’s restoration of His Church.

Amos 9

Studie

   

1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

5 And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

6 It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.

7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
