All right, Okay, So God was not 134 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:23.839 proud of Israel. No, he was not. 135 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.040 Remember how we pointed out in the previous judgments in 136 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.240 chapter one and chapter two of the Book of Amos, 137 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.800 he's mad at Moab and he mentions it. 138 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.439 In three verses. 139 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.600 He's a judgments coming to Judah. He mentions it in 140 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.120 three verses. But already we're ten verses in on Israel, 141 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.759 and God goes and another thing. You turn the page 142 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:44.759 and get the chapter three, and God goes, I got 143 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:45.800 some more for you guys. 144 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.480 He's really not happy with Israel. And he says and 145 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.800 again because they know better. They know better. 146 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.959 That's right, they know better, and they had a false understanding. 147 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.519 I think of their status. They thought they had a 148 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.360 protected status with God. I'm one of God's faith that 149 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.920 is called entitlement. Yes, and so God, I think, is 150 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.240 more upset with them because they are so entitled to 151 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.879 they think entitled to God's blessings. Hey, by the way, 152 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.560 he said, if you know all the benefits that were 153 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.800 coming from me, you should have behaved better. 154 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.480 Hey, I have an absolutely random thought. That's interruptive. 155 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:19.160 Okay, go ahead. 156 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.680 Remember I told you that Tory bought me a coffee 157 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.199 mug with dad jokes every day. Yes, I had coffee 158 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.920 this morning and I scanned it. What is orange and 159 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.000 sounds like a parrot. I don't know a carrot. 160 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:39.120 SOUPID. It's so bad, so bad. Okay, I don't even 161 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.199 know how to transition out of that one. Let's pretend 162 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.000 I didn't happen back into the Bible, JESF. 163 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.040 You know what you can't pretend didn't happen is all 164 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.519 the sins Israel committed against them. 165 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.480 There it is there, you got it. There they are Okay. 166 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.560 So we're in Amos three, and God continues to go 167 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.519 through Amos. He says, listen to this message that the 168 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.480 Lord has spoken against you, oh people of Israel and Judah, 169 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:02.759 against the entire fan Only I rescued from Egypt. From 170 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.639 among all the families on the earth, I have been 171 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.480 intimate with you alone. That is why I must punish 172 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.120 you for all your sins. Can two people walk together 173 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.000 without agreeing on the direction? Does a lion ever roar 174 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.639 in a thicket without first finding a victim? Does a 175 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.360 young lion growl in its den without first catching his prey? 176 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.720 Does a bird ever get caught in a trap that 177 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.759 has no bait? Does a trap spring shut when there's 178 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.680 no nothing to catch? When the rams horn blows a warning, 179 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.160 shouldn't the people be alarmed? Does disaster come to a 180 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.360 city unless the Lord has planned it? 181 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.720 Is the Pope Catholic? No, I'm sorry, Nope, that's nothing. 182 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:42.480 Wowy to Yes, That's all God's doing is He's giving you. 183 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:46.960 He's giving you a bunch of same thing. 184 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.200 Indeed, the sovereign Lord never does anything until he reveals 185 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.240 his plans to his servants, the prophets. The lion has roared, 186 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.080 so who isn't frightened? The Sovereign Lord has spoken, So 187 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.120 who can refuse to proclaim his message. Announce this to 188 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.000 the leaders of Felictia and to the great ones of Egypt. 189 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.399 Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria, and 190 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:10.600 witness the chaos and oppression in Israel. God says, Hey, Philistines, 191 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.759 watch this. Yeah, that's what he says. All right, my 192 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.000 people have forgotten how to do right, says the Lord. 193 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.320 Their fortresses are filled with wealth taken by the theft 194 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.960 and violence. Therefore, says the Sovereign Lord, an enemy is coming. 195 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.960 He will surround them and shatter their defenses, and then 196 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.559 he will plunder all their fortresses. This is what the 197 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.039 Lord says. A shepherd who tries to rescue a sheep 198 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.159 from a lion's mouth will recover only two legs and 199 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.320 a piece of an ear. So it will be for 200 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.559 the Israelites in Samaria lying on luxurious beds, and for 201 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.759 the people of Damascus reclining on couches. 202 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.279 Now, listen to this and announce it through all. 203 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.679 Israel, says the Lord. The God of the Lord, God 204 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.639 of Heaven's armies. On the very day I punish Israel 205 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.200 for its sins, I will destroy the pagan altars at Bethel. 206 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.600 The horns of the altar will be cut off and 207 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.440 fall to the ground. And I will destroy the beautiful 208 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.039 homes of the wealthy, their winter mansions and their summer 209 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.639 houses too, all their palaces filled with ivory. 210 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.279 Says the Lord. Oh yeah, man, Yeah, that's yeah, that's 211 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:08.360 more than ten verses. 212 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.919 That's a few more. Well, he's not done. He's gonna 213 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.519 keep going. We got chapter four to go. We've got 214 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.159 chapter five to go. Well, chapter four, he's still mad. 215 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.039 Chapter five he's gonna ask them to repent. 216 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.159 But yeah, is this amazing. 217 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.919 Yeah, So he's like, hey, I'm not done. And he 218 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.639 tells the people in Felictia to gather around and watch 219 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.639 just literally, hey, gather on the hills of Samaria and 220 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.919 just watch. Grab some popcorn. 221 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.279 Sit down. 222 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.559 It's gonna be a show. That's what he's telling them. 223 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.279 That's literally what he says. Well, he doesn't say grab popcorn, 224 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.200 but he says take you. He says, take your seats 225 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.360 now on the hills around Sameria and witness the chaos 226 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.320 and oppression in Israel. 227 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.879 Yeah, that's what he tells the Philistines. Yeah, buckle up, 228 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.879 it's coming and it's going to be a show. Yep. Right. 229 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:53.159 By the way, Amos Chapter three, verse three, see where 230 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.639 it says can two people walk together without greeing on 231 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.080 the direction? 232 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.039 Huh? 233 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.440 And the King James version it says can two walk 234 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:05.720 together less they be agreed. My pastor who did my wedding, 235 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.120 he used that verse in my wedding. 236 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:09.960 Oh wow. 237 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.080 Yeah. And by the way, whenever I'm reminded that that's 238 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.200 where that verse came from. In that context, it's very 239 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:21.840 disturbing in my wedding, judgment's coming. No, I mean it 240 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.159 is the correct context. He's using an example of a 241 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.559 couple walking together, and he's basically saying, hey, everybody knows 242 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.000 that a couple who doesn't walk together, they can't do 243 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.240 it unless they are in agreement. Right, So the example 244 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:38.240 still holds, But in this context it's pretty pretty frightening. Right, 245 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:44.440 it's pretty disturbing. But I'll never forget the message in 246 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.240 my wedding. As I'm staying there and I'm listening to 247 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.159 the pastor getting ready to you know, we're ready to 248 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.279 say our vows. And he said, Christ and liz Amus 249 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.639 Chapter three, verse three says that two cannot walk together 250 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.279 unless they be agreed. He said, some people say that 251 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.679 love is two vowels O, N E and two consonants uh, 252 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.279 ellen v and two fools you and me. 253 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:08.960 That's what he said. 254 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.399 And I was like, that has to be the cheesiest 255 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:14.679 introductions of the word. 256 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.840 Love I've ever heard in my life. 257 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.240 Okay, and that's terrible, but anyway, I remember it. So 258 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.039 got to say this one thing. 259 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.720 I do remember everything. I remember everything he said. I 260 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:32.320 remember all of it. But anyway, so God takes the. 261 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.960 Time to warn the guilty people of Israel and uh 262 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.360 and and he says, here comes this uh this uh, 263 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.600 this punishment that's coming, and we already know that it's 264 00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.799 going to be thirty years from now. And so God 265 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.519 gives them a chance to repent. And what's so interesting 266 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.679 is is that what we learn is that they don't repent. Right, 267 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.480 So is it is it because do you think, I mean, 268 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.000 is there a street here that leads us to conclude 269 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.519 that they just don't believe God? Or is it that 270 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.519 they maybe perhaps are thinking, well, that's my son's problem, 271 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:10.320 not my problem. 272 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.600 Well, well, you see it kind of God's judgment on Israel. 273 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.039 And then now Judah is walking away from God too, 274 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.399 So there's that. But God's judgments on Israel are kind 275 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:23.120 of progressive. 276 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:23.480 Right. 277 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.440 It starts off it's the pecking around the edges from 278 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:31.399 the Philistines, right, it's the raiders coming in and causing trouble, 279 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.279 but eventually the Israelites get victory. Here at this point, 280 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.399 Israel is pretty prosperous. They're pretty dominant economy, a pretty 281 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.480 strong kingdom. Even though they have been following God. They've 282 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.879 got a lot of confidence. But they have not been 283 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:50.679 obliterated by invading forces in one hundred and something years, right, 284 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.519 think of all the kings hundreds of years, and so 285 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.120 I think that they've just gotten yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, 286 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.120 crazy prophet going around and the judgment is coming, and 287 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.960 sure judgment has been coming for a long time, but 288 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.600 it hasn't come yet. And that when judgment doesn't come, 289 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.960 that I think they're just dismissing the prophets going. 290 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:09.960 You've been saying that for a long time. 291 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.639 You and your brothers and all the other prophets say 292 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:14.679 say the same thing. I think they just felt like 293 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.759 God likes us, where God's chosen people, we are, we're special. 294 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.600 Well, God said, I've chosen. 295 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.559 You to get intimate with and you alone, right right, right, 296 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.519 So it's pretty clear that they are God's chosen. 297 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:27.799 People, right. 298 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.320 And I think that they just have a lot of 299 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:30.960 comfort in that that there's there's no we can do 300 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.799 whatever we want to do because we're we're protected by God. 301 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.159 I think Americans feel that way sometimes, that we're just 302 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.720 for some reason, you know, this manifest destiny concept sometimes 303 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.559 that that we're kind of immune, that God likes us special, 304 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.960 and that we you know, look at our wealth, look 305 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.879 at our and and so even Christians, a lot of 306 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.960 times they spend their lives living like the world in 307 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.679 a nation that's clearly blessed by God, and and and 308 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.559 then surprise when the world comes crashing down around them, 309 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.399 when they're life falls apart, when judgment finally comes. And 310 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.000 I think that's the same thing that they just kind 311 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.879 of fell asleep in it. But I do love this 312 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.000 verse seven says, Indeed, the sovereign Lord never does anything 313 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.639 until he reveals his plans to his servants to prophets. Right, 314 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:18.200 even in God's anger. He's so merciful to go, hey, 315 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:21.759 I'm still going to send somebody warn you, somebody wake up. 316 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.320 And you know we already talked about this is going 317 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:25.200 to be twenty two years down the road, thirty two 318 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.440 years down the road, something like that before the judgment 319 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.200 actually comes. But God is so good to his people 320 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.960 and so good to you and me that he continually 321 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.320 sends warnings. And so God says, hey, this isn't a secret. 322 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.120 I'm not mulling this over in my warm room upstairs, 323 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:41.720 and it's going to come on you as a surprise. 324 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.519 I'm warning you in advance. And warnings about sin and 325 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.279 judgment apply to people today just as they did to Israel. 326 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.360 Because we've been warned about our sin, we have no 327 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.759 excuse when punishment comes. Do not take lightly the warnings 328 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.519 in God's word about judgment. His warnings are a way 329 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.480 of showing mercy to you. 330 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.960 I like the note and the life application study BIB. 331 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.480 On verse number ten, it says the people of Israel 332 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.799 no longer knew how to do what was right. The 333 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.960 more they sin, the harder it was to remember what 334 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.679 God wanted. 335 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.559 The same is true for us. 336 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.399 The longer we wait to deal with sin the greater 337 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.440 the whole it has on us. Finally we forget what 338 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.120 it means to do what is right? Are you on 339 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:24.080 the vergion of forgetting? I like the I like the 340 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.279 ending question there. 341 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:26.159 You know. 342 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.759 I had this devotional book, Devotions for Kids, and I 343 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.799 must have went through it, it seems it seems like, 344 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.360 you know, thirty times with my oldest daughter, you know, 345 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:37.639 and it was. 346 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.679 Just our favorite thing to read. 347 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.480 But you know why it was so so good because 348 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.559 there was a section at the end that was my 349 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.440 daughter's favorite that said how about you? And it was 350 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.440 it was literally this this exact ending. Are you on 351 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:50.799 the verge of forgetting right? 352 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.799 That's what it did. 353 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.159 And so there was like this little devotion and sometimes 354 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.039 it was like a fabricated story that it included a 355 00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.759 Bible verse and a lesson and then it would say 356 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.480 how about you? 357 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.519 Are you feeling this way? Do you think this way? 358 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.559 Do you respond this way? 359 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.440 And we would literally just tuck her in every night 360 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:13.200 and read these devotions And I love it because, by 361 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.839 the way, side note, I believe that the word of 362 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.480 God is for application, right, and by the way, that's 363 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.480 what God's word says, right, you know. One of my 364 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:27.720 favorite verses, and it's so convicting is Luke chapter six, 365 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.160 verse forty six. Do you know that one? I'll put 366 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.160 you on the spot. It's so obscure. It's so obscure. 367 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.759 I don't know. 368 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.640 Jesus said, and why do you call me lord lord? 369 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.079 And do not do the things that I say? 370 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:39.759 Right? 371 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.319 And there was there was a sign at Baptist Bible 372 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.079 College where I went to school, where there was a 373 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:50.440 there was a road sign that said six forty six. 374 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:51.480 And I don't know what it was. 375 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.480 There was some kind of road sign, but every time 376 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.200 I passed it going home back to the college, I'd 377 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:56.599 look at. 378 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.079 It and I go, Luke six forty six, And I 379 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.680 would always anyway, but tell me, Lord Lord, don't do 380 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.440 what I tell you. Yeah, well, I mean the Word 381 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:05.440 of God is for application. 382 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.960 So one of the reasons why I referenced my pastor 383 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:12.079 earlier and I said, I remembered everything he said, is 384 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:16.079 because I was fascinated with the idea that he would 385 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.240 take something that seemed a little complex on the surface 386 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.000 and perhaps a little hard to understand, and he would 387 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.720 break it down to help me understand what the word 388 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.279 what the word meant, and then he would literally change 389 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.119 it into application. He'd say, well, this is what this means. 390 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:34.839 So you know, are you going to go home and 391 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.319 think about these three things? Or what is God asking 392 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.839 you to do? And and I was just so fascinated 393 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.759 that I was like, wow, that is amazing because I 394 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.319 had gone to church my whole life off and on, 395 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.759 not very much actually, but through the span of my 396 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.599 young life, we sort of popped in and I went 397 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.400 through different dominations. I would pop in, and to be honest, 398 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.680 most of the time I didn't really understand anything. It 399 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:05.400 was either in another language, or it was irrelevance, or 400 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.640 there was no application, it was just information, or it 401 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.359
