Amos 4:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 4:11

9 “I^a blasted you with blight and mildew.
When your gardens increased,
Your vineyards,
Your fig trees,
And your olive trees,
^bThe locust devoured them;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.

10 “I sent among you a plague ^aafter the manner of Egypt;
Your young men I killed with a sword,
Along with your captive horses;
I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.

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 4:6-12

We won’t turn to it, but you may remember the progression of calamities that God claims in Amos 4:6-12, where God says that He sent food scarcity, and He sent drought and floods. He sent mildew and blight—meaning, winds so hot they withered everything, as well as locusts to disrupt the crops. He says He sent a plague, and He caused young men to die in battle. Next, He caused overthrow and massive destruction like He did to Sodom and Gomorra, yet the hardhearted people still would not return to Him. Finally, He said the nation would meet Him, implying a terrifying personal encounter. This is outlined and explained in the Amos booklet that John and Richard wrote in 1995, and which is being republished now as articles, 30 years later, perhaps as a second testimony.
