In this chapter, the organized church was increasing from external things to more external things. The course of its actions could lead but to one thing: corruption and breaches that would end with the destruction of internal or inmost things. Their decisions were against God and doctrine. The church with all things belonging to it would “perish.”

206. Internal Meaning of Amos, Chapter 6

Of the spiritual church which was instituted. (3, 3)

1-2 It turned out worse than the religions of other nations. (3)

3-6 It possesses all things of the church in abundance; they think nothing of the destruction of the church. (3)

7-9 Therefore all things will perish, (3)

10-12 until nothing remains, (3)

13-14 for the reason that they acquired those things from what is their own. (3, 17)
