Exploring the Meaning of Amos 9
Ngu 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.
