Amos 4

Studie

   

1 Ακουσατε τον λογον τουτον, δαμαλεις της Βασαν, αι εν τω ορει της Σαμαρειας, αι καταδυναστευουσαι τους πτωχους, αι καταθλιβουσαι τους πενητας, αι λεγουσαι προς τους κυριους αυτων, Φερετε και ας πιωμεν.

2 Κυριος ο Θεος ωμοσεν εις την αγιοτητα αυτου οτι ιδου, ημεραι ερχονται εις υμας, καθ' ας θελουσι σας πιασει με αγκιστρα και τους απογονους σας με καμακια αλιευτικα.

3 Και θελετε εξελθει απο τας χαλαστρας εκαστη απ' ευθειας ενωπιον αυτης, και θελετε απορριψει παντα τα του παλατιου, λεγει Κυριος.

4 Ελθετε εις Βαιθηλ και ασεβησατε· εν Γαλγαλοις πληθυνατε την ασεβειαν· και φερετε τας θυσιας σας κατα πασαν πρωιαν, τα δεκατα σας κατα πασαν τριετιαν.

5 Και προσφερετε εις θυσιαν ευχαριστιας αρτον ενζυμον, και κηρυξατε τας αυτοπροαιρετους προσφορας· αναγγειλατε αυτας· διοτι ουτως αγαπατε, υιοι Ισραηλ, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

6 Και εγω οτι σας εδωκα πειναν εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν υμων και ελλειψιν αρτου εν πασι τοις τοποις υμων, και δεν επεστρεψατε προς εμε, λεγει Κυριος.

7 Και εγω προσετι εκρατησα την βροχην απο σας, οτε εμενον τρεις μηνες ετι εως του θερους· και εβρεξα επι μιαν πολιν και επι αλλην πολιν δεν εβρεξα· μια μερις εβραχη και η μερις, επι την οποιαν δεν εβρεξεν εξηρανθη.

8 Ουτω δυο τρεις πολεις υπηγαν περιπλανωμεναι εις μιαν πολιν να πιωσιν υδωρ και δεν εχορτασθησαν, και δεν επεστρεψατε προς εμε, λεγει Κυριος.

9 Σας επαταξα με ανεμοφθοριαν και ερυσιβην· το πληθος των κηπων σας και των αμπελωνων σας και των συκεωνων σας και των ελαιωνων σας κατεφαγεν η καμπη, και δεν επεστρεψατε προς εμε, λεγει Κυριος.

10 Εξαπεστειλα εφ' ημας θανατικον κατα τον τροπον της Αιγυπτου· τους νεανισκους σας εθανατωσα εν ρομφαια, αιχμαλωτισας και τους ιππους σας· και ανεβιβασα την δυσωδιαν των στρατοπεδων σας εως των μυκτηρων σας, και δεν επεστρεψατε προς εμε, λεγει Κυριος.

11 Σας κατεστρεψα, καθως ο Θεος κατεστρεψε τα Σοδομα και τα Γομορρα, και εγεινετε ως δαυλος απεσπασμενος απο της πυρκαιας, και δεν επεστρεψατε προς εμε, λεγει Κυριος.

12 Δια τουτο ουτω θελω καμει εις σε, Ισραηλ· οθεν, επειδη θελω καμει τουτο εις σε, ετοιμασθητι να απαντησης τον Θεον σου, Ισραηλ.

13 Διοτι ιδου, ο μορφων τα ορη και κατασκευαζων τον ανεμον και απαγγελλων προς τον ανθρωπον τις ειναι ο στοχασμος αυτου, ο ποιων την αυγην σκοτος και επιβαινων επι τα υψη της γης, Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων ειναι το ονομα αυτου.

689. The reason why John's baptising prepared the way was that by this means, as shown above, people were introduced into the coming church of the Lord, and brought into the company of those in heaven who were awaiting and longing for the Messiah. They were thus protected by angels to prevent devils breaking out of hell and destroying them. This is why it says in Malachi, 'Who will endure the day of his coming' and 'so that Jehovah may not come and strike the land with a curse' (Malachi 4:6). Likewise in Isaiah:

Look, the cruel day of Jehovah is coming, a day of wrath and an explosion of anger. I shall make the heaven tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place on the day of the explosion of His anger, Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22; 22:5, 12.

Also in Jeremiah that day is called a day of laying waste, of revenge and ruin (Jeremiah 4:9; 7:32; 46:10, 21; 47:4; 49:8, 26). In Ezekiel it is called a day of wrath, of cloud and thick darkness (Ezekiel 13:5; 30:2-3, 9; 34:11-12; 38:14, 16, 18-19). Equally in Amos (Amos 5:13, 18, 20; 8:3, 9, 13); in Joel, the great and terrible day of Jehovah, and who will endure it? (Joel 2:1-2, 11; 3:2, 4). In Zephaniah:

On that day there will be a shout. The great day of Jehovah is at hand, the day of the explosion of His anger is that day, the day of anguish and affliction, the day of laying waste and devastation. On the day of the explosion of Jehovah's anger the whole earth will be consumed, and He will bring about an ending with all the inhabitants of the earth, Zephaniah 1:7-18.

There are other passages too.

[2] From these it is plain that if the way had not been prepared by baptism for Jehovah to come down into the world, the effect of which in the heavens was to shut off the hells and to protect the Jews from total extinction, [all there would have been struck with a curse and would have perished] 1 . Jehovah also says to Moses:

In a single moment, if I were to go up in your midst, I should consume the people, Exodus 33:5.

The truth of this is clearly to be seen from John's words to the crowds who came out to be baptised by him:

You brood of vipers, who has warned you to run away from the wrath to come? Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7.

For John also teaching about Christ and His coming when he baptised, see Luke 3:16; John 1:25-26, 31-33; 3:26. These passages make it plain how John prepared the way.

Exodus 33:5

5 Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.'"
