Amos 9:5-15 ~ The Lord God of Hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts

Amos 9:5-15

The Lord God of Hosts

He who touches the earth and it melts,

and 

all who dwell in it mourn,

and 

all of it rises like the Nile,

and sinks again, 

like the Nile of Egypt 

Who builds His Upper Chambers in the Heavens

and 

founds His Vault 

upon the earth

Who Calls for the waters of the sea

and 

pours them out upon the surface of the earth—

The Lord is His Name!

7 “Are you not like the Cushites to me,

O people of Israel?” 

Declares the Lord.

“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,

and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Syrians from Kir?

Behold, 

the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,

and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,

except 

that I will not utterly destroy the House of Jacob,”

Declares the Lord.

“For behold, 

I will command,

and 

shake the house of Israel among all the nations

as one shakes with a sieve,

but no pebble shall fall to the earth.

All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,

who say, 

‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.' ”

“In that day

 I will raise up

the booth of David that is fallen

and 

repair its breaches,

and 

raise up its ruins

and 

rebuild it as in the days of old,

12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom

and 

ALL

 the Nations 

who are called by My Name,”

Declares the Lord 

Who 

does this.

“Behold, 

the days are coming,” 

Declares the Lord,

“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper

and 

the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;

the mountains 

shall drip sweet wine,

and 

all the hills shall flow with it.

I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,

and 

they shall rebuild the ruined cities 

and 

inhabit them

They shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,

and 

they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.

I will plant them on their land,

and 

they shall never again be uprooted

out of the land 

that 

I have given them,”

Says The Lord your God.

I love Matthew Henry. Any day of the week, he is beautiful and eloquent - loving and tender as God. The English language has changed in the 250+ years he had his Bible Commentary:

Matthew Henry’s commentary on Amos:
GOD employed a shepherd, a herdsman! One who cares for others tenderly. And uses this tender person to reprove and warn the people. Those to whom God gives abilities for his services, ought not to be despised for their origin, or their employment. Like the advice of Gamaliel - what comes from God should not be tampered with. God places His Holy Spirit in all who believe. Good news.

Let us continue earnest in prayer for the fulfillment of these prophecies, in the peace, purity, and the beauty of the Church! God marvelously preserves his elect amidst the most fearful confusions and miseries. When all seems desperate, He wonderfully revives His Church, and blesses her with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. And great shall be the glory of that period, in which not one good thing promised shall remain unfulfilled.



God does this!

HE is a giver, a bringer, a maker of blessings! 

Who can do it! The Great I Am has determined to do it! 

God's Power of Whose Grace is engaged in doing this mighty work! 

Verses 13 to 15, when are these days? 

In the awakening of the Holy Spirit within us - and - Possible in each day.


People say they want blessings, and we are made to adapt. 

We can adjust to lack of blessings and find joy - however - we work towards Blessings. We adapt to being blessed and become fussy blessing receivers. Abraham was a fussy blessing receiver. David did far better being a dodge Israel mercenary than a king in a palace.

What will be our response to Blessings of God?

Hope Hope Hope

Something Hopeful. Hope Hope Hope Hope.

We have this. 

Matthew 6:5-6

Matthew 6:5-6

And when you pray, 

you must not be like the hypocrites. 

For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. 

Truly,

 I say to you, 

they have received their reward. 

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father

 Who is in secret. 

And your Father 

Who sees in secret 

will reward you.

Abba, Father!
