Geography of Amos

Bible Study – Book of Amos Purpose For The Book: 1. To describe how the Lord will not only come to judge the nations for their evil, but will also come to judge Israel for her breach of covenant 2. To expose Israel's breach of covenant through their social oppression of the people, empty religious ritual, and arrogant self-confidence 3. To proclaim a time of restoration and blessing after judgment under a revitalized Davidic dynasty

Bible Study – Book of Amos Three Components 1. The judgment of Israel's neighbors for their sin: Damascus (Syria today), Gaza (the "Palestinians" today), Tyre (Lebanon today), Ammon and Moab (Jordan today) (Amos 1-2) 2. The spiritual corruption of Judah and Israel (Amos 2-6) 3. Five prophetic visions: Locusts and Fire, Warn of impending catastrophe against the sinful nation, Overthrow / Ruin of Israel and future restoration of Israel after the coming of the Messiah

Lessons From Amos 1. The moral responsibility of God, Who is not only all-powerful and international, but also ethical and spiritual. 2. The most elaborate worship, if insincere, is but an insult to God. Religion is more than mere outward worship. It is not the smoke of the burnt offering that is acceptable to God, but the incense of a true and loyal heart. 3. There must be social justice among men. Morality was the one necessity for Israel. God's requirements are always moral. Moral issues determine the course of history. His whole message is a fitting prelude to James' definition of religion. (James 1:27)

Lessons From Amos 4. Privilege involves responsibility. (Amos 3:2) Election to privilege is only another name for election to duty. 5. The meaning and purpose of calamity and trouble. (Amos 4:6). Every disaster is but a new call to repentance. 6. The necessity of personal conviction in a prophet. (7:14, 15) Religion is a personal matter; likewise conviction; they cannot be inherited.
