The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 207
207. Internal Meaning of Amos, Chapter 7
1 The church grew from externals to externals. (3)
2-6 When externals were lost, there was a restoration. (3)
7-9 When inmosts were reached, all things were destroyed, because they were contrary to God, (3, 1)
10-13 and contrary to all things of doctrine; (3)
14-16 so that there was no longer any doctrine. (3)
17 The church with all things pertaining to it will perish. (3)
Amos 7:14-16
14
Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
15
and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
16
Now therefore listen to the word of Yahweh: 'You say, Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the house of Isaac.'
