Of all the Old Testament prophets, Amos speaks most clearly to our times. The prophecy he delivers zeroes in on our generation, as if it were ripped from today’s headlines. Indeed, Amos’ message is a dual prophecy. It was meant not only for God’s people in his day, but also for the church right now, in our time.
Amos described God as a roaring lion, ready to strike Israel with judgment: “The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?” (Amos 3:8). The prophet declared, “God has risen up as a roaring lion, ready to strike his prey. And when I hear this lion’s voice roar, I have to warn.”
The Lord was using Amos to awaken Israel. What was his message? God was about to send judgment on his people, for their overwhelming evil and corruption.
Of course, the Lord never judges a people without first raising up prophetic voices to warn them. “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets” (3:7). Now, as Amos saw the cloud of judgment gathering, he was compelled to speak: “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?” (3:6). Amos’ message here is chilling: “God has sounded a trumpet of warning to his people. But no one is alarmed.”
Right now, few want to hear a message having to do with judgment. Our nation is already filled with fear. We expect another terrorist attack at any minute. And the economy looks bleaker than ever. People are saying, “I can’t handle any more.”
But the Lord speaks when he will. And his Spirit provides us strength to hear his Word, as delivered by his anointed servants. Our Lord will faithfully empower his people to endure whatever may come.
Amos directs his prophecies primarily to the people of God, the compromised church.
When Amos prophesied, he addressed the Gentile nations surrounding Jerusalem. Surely these heathen would fall under God’s wrath. They were stealing Israel’s borders, waging war against them, and killing their children.
Yet, now Amos said, “Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel” (Amos 3:1). The lion’s roar was against Israel itself. God’s people were about to be punished for corrupting the pure worship of the Lord: “You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities” (3:2).
