om de skjuler sig på Karmels topp, skal jeg lete dem op og hente dem derfra, og om de gjemmer sig for mine øine på havets bunn, skal jeg kalle ormen frem, og den skal bite dem,
Amos 9:3
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.
