Verses 1 - 10
In these verses, we see the destruction of a backslidden Israel and how God will pour out his wrath upon them. We see that there is NO escape from God's wrath on those who have turned from Him, and though they dig into hell or climb up into heaven, they cannot hide from his wrath. This is why it is so important to pray for the leaders of our nation.
Our nation was founded upon the words, "In God We Trust," but when our leaders turn away from God and follow after their own lusts, they will not escape the judgments of God. Backsliders may think that they are enjoying themselves because we live in the dispensation of grace, but in the end, they will not escape the wrath of God.
Verses 11 - 15p
These verses speak of Amos' vision for the future and the restoration of Israel. It is full of hope, healing and positive change. There is redemption for backslidden Israel when they repent and realign themselves with the Word of God. We must pray for the leaders of our nation that they will seek Godly council and lead us back to be a God fearing Nation that still trusts in the Almighty God. We must pray for those who are in a backslidden condition that they will repent and turn back to God before his wrath is poured out upon this world.
