Amos 3:3-8 meaning. Amos uses a series of rhetorical questions to announce judgment on the disobedient Israelites.

The rhetorical questions emphasize that it is only natural to fear when the mighty lion roars—just as it is only natural for a prophet to prophesy when God speaks. There is an immediacy and inevitability linked to the voice of God which compels the prophet to speak.
