4 From The Books of Amos Is: Amos
7:1-8:3
1. What is the
significance of each of Amos’ four vision (7: 1-9, 8:1-3)? What truth is demonstrated by the difference
between the first two and the last two?
2. 7:10-17. How does this
section reveal the fearless courage of the prophet and the danger to which his
obedience to God’s call exposed him?
What may we learn from this concerning the demands of God’s service?
Notes
- 7:4. “The great deep”: probably a
reference to the ancient belief in underground depths which supplied water
for streams, springs, etc. Cf. Gn. 7:11.
- 7:10. Bethel was the chief sanctuary of
the northern kingdom.
