On the cross, Jesus experienced the judgment of the prophetic day of the Lord for all those around the world who trust in him. These believers “from all tribes and peoples and languages” will one day enter into the lavish abundance described in Amos 9, a restored paradise, a new earth—a true and final Eden. Universal Themes in Amos
Israel "the day of the LORD" is the day when God will fight against his and their enemies, and it will be a day of victory for Israel. However, Amos and other prophets include Israel as an enemy of God, as Israel is guilty of injustice toward the innocent, poor, and young women. To Amos "the day of the lord" will be a day of doom.

Apr 22, 2021 · The book of Amos is not “prophecy” per se, but rather is a “literary-predictive text” [19] —a text written as prophecy to explain a historical development in terms of divine will.

2:13–16 This initial message against Israel does not end with the judgment formula, “I will send down fire,” like the other oracles against the nations (1:4, 7, 10, 12, 14; 2:2, 5); but it does end with a declaration of judgment. A similar judgment formula does, however, close Amos’s second oracle against Israel (cf. 3:13–15).
The book has a fairly clear design. Chapters 1-2 are a series of messages to Israel and the other nations. Chapters 3-6 are a collection of poems that express Amos’ message to the people of Israel and its leaders. Chapters 7-9 contain a series of visions Amos experienced that visually depict God’s coming judgment on Israel.
