Amos 8:10

Studie

       

10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end of it as a bitter day.

Scriptural Confirmations # 56

  
/ 101  
  

56. 28. (He who turneth the dawn into the shadow of death and day into night (Amos 5:8).)

(And it shall come to pass in that day that I will cause the sun to set at noon, and I will darken the earth in the day of light (Amos 8:9).)

Behold the days will come in which I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for waters, but for hearing the words of Jehovah (Amos 8:11). In that day they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah and shall not find it. In that day shall the beautiful virgins and the young men faint for thirst (verses 12-13).

In that day will I raise up the tent 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; behold the days come that the mountains shall distil must, and all the hills shall melt; they shall build the devastated cities, then will I plant them upon their land nor shall they be pulled up any more out of their land (Amos 9:11-15).
