Amos 4:13

Amos 4:13

11 “I overthrew some of you,
As God overthrew ^aSodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.

12 “Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel;
Because I will do this to you,
^aPrepare to meet your God, O Israel!”

13 For behold,
He who forms mountains,
And creates the¹ wind,
^aWho declares to man what¹ his thought is,
And makes the morning darkness,
^bWho treads the high places of the earth—
^cThe Lord God of hosts is His name.

<< Amos 4:12

Amos 5:1 >>

He that formeth the mountains - Here is a powerful description of the majesty of God. He formed the earth; he created the wind; he knows the inmost thoughts of the heart; he is the Creator of darkness and light; he steps from mountain to mountain, and has all things under his feet! Who is he who hath done and can do all these things? Jehovah Elohim Tsebaoth, that is his name.

1.The self-existing, eternal, and independent Being.

2.The God who is in covenant with mankind.

3.The universal Commander of all the hosts of earth and heaven. This name is farther illustrated in the following chapter. These words are full of instruction, and may be a subject of profitable meditation to every serious mind.
