arty everywhere, The poorer class
were very poor indeed, down -troth -le
exploited, ground under the heel
those in power, unable to , secure an
justlee in the pourts,
tis iiot an unfamiliar picture. An
it the"miilst of this 'prosperity an
high' living a herdman, or farmer, le
O his flocks and his fields, appeared i
prominent places in Israel, and bega
to prophesy doom and disaster.
What sort of hearing could bebop
to have? .What hearing would sue
a man have had back in 1927 or 192
if he had stood on the sidewalk i
Wall Street and told any hearers wit
would listen that God's judgment
were about to fall upon the Unite
States and most of the world?
"Nothing could seem more improb
able than the fulfilment of Amos'
warnings; yet within fifty years th
kingdom was utterly destroyed"
The prophecy in this brief book o
nine chapters begins with the predie
tion of judgments corning upon vari
ous peoples round about Israel an
Judah, for they have turned agains
God and against God's people,
Then the prophecy takes up Judah
North
Israel,the Southern
and e and
ern kingdoms of God's own people,
But the prediction of divine judg
ment is interrupted by the reminde
of God's mercy and love toward Is
rael. He brought the whole fainily
of Israel up out of the land of Egypt
and He says: "You only have I known
of all the families of the earth: there-
fore I will punish you for all you in-
iquities." Because Israel's privilege
had been greatest, her punishment
must be greatest.
The judgment is given in very plain
words, such as these: "For as much
therefore as your treading is upon the
poor, and ye take from him burdens
of wheat: ye have built houses of
hewn stone, but ye shallnot dwell in
them, ye have planted pleasant vine-
yards, but ye shall not drink wine of
them. For I know your manifold
transgressions and your nighty sins:
they afflict the just, they take a bribe,
and they turn aside the poor in the
gate from their right."
When God's time for judgment has
come, man cannot escape it. There is
vivid satire in this reminder from the
Lord to those who think they may
escape: "As .if a man did flee from a
lion, and a bear met him; or went into
the house, and leaned his hand on the
wall, and a serpent bit him."
Strange to say, God's people were
very religious in the midst of all their
evil prosperity and immorality. They
were scrupulously careful to go
through the forms of worship, and to
offer sacrifices and burnt -offerings.
And this is what God says about it.
"Though ye offer me burnt offer-
ings
fferings and your meat -offerings, I will
not accept them: neither will I regard
the peace -offerings of your fat beasts,
Take thou away from me the noise of
thy songs; for I will not hear the
melody of thy viols."
In sharp contrast with empty re-
ligious worship, God tells what is
called for: "But let judgment run
down as waters, and righteousness as
a nighty stream."
Preaching of this sort in the midst
of prosperity is not popular.
It gained such a hearing that it
reached high religious officials and
King Jeroboam himself, A corrupt
priest, Amaziah, sent word to the
king: "Amos hath conspired against
thee in the midst of the house of Is-
rael: the land is not able to bear all
his words. For thus Amos saith, Jero-
boam shall die by the sword, and Is-
rael shall surely be led away captive
out of their own land."
Then Amaziah served notice on
Amos: "0 thou seer, go, flee thee
away into the land of Jduah, and there
eat bread, and prophesy there: but
prophesy not again any more at Beth-
el: for it is the King's chapel, and it
is the Ring's court.
It was really most annoying, even
presumptuous, for Anios to tell God's
whole truth in the King's chapel of
the King's court! But the hardy herd
man was not to be intimidated. He
reminded Amaziah, "I was no pro-
phet, neither was I a prophet's son;
but I was an herdman, and a gatherer
of sycamore fruit; and the Lord took
ane as I followed the flock, and the,
Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy un-
to my people Israel,"
Amos was just believing enough,
and brave enough and foolish enough
to obey God! And he bluntly told the
priest Arnazialt that, because of the
priest's attempted intimidation God's
judgment, should fall upon the priest's
own family as well as the nation. This
was the stern message: "Thy 'strife
shall be an harlot in the city, and
thy sons and thy daughters shall fall
by the sword, and thy land shall be
divided by line; and thou shalt die in
polluted land; and /reel shall sure -
y go into captivity forth of hikland."
