For example, from a short passage from the book of the eighth-century B.C. prophet Amos, we can learn: something about the problems of translation and why scholars sometimes emend (that is, change) the text; how a knowledge of everyday life in Bible times and of earlier pre-Israelite cultures help illuminate the text; something about the nature of the prophetic calling; and finally, a little ...
May 10, 2013 · The “words of the prophets,” James says, “agree” with this (Acts 15:15). The quotation is not an exact reproduction of the LXX as we know it (neither is it an exact translation of the Hebrew in Amos 9:11-12). Rather, James–as Luke records it–may conflate several prophets in order to focus his point. Glenny suggests that Acts 15:16 ...
May 10, 2016 · God was to visit the Gentiles first, “to take out of them a people for his name.” James goes on to say that this is entirely in keeping with the prophets, for they had stated that the period of Jewish blessing and triumph should be after the Gentile period: “After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen.”
Jan 20, 2011 · As we will see in our study of Amos’ third vision, the period of grace given to Israel failed to accomplish its purpose: Israel did not repent and the judgment against the nation was reinstated. The greatest irony found in these visions of judgment is the fact that Amos was successful in changing the mind of God but he was unable to change the mind of the king and of the people.
Feb 7, 2011 · The fifth vision does not provide a reason for the judgment. The reason God does not specify why he is judging his people is because Amos had already proclaimed God’s charges against them. The apostasy of Israel was the reason for God’s judgment. The judgment upon Israel will begin against the temple located in Bethel and against the people ...
Amos 8:11 (NASB) The first act of punishment listed is that God would send a famine. But the famine was not one of no food or no water. The people would not suffer from a lack of food or water. Instead, they would suffer due to a famine of not hearing the words of the Lord. That is, they would not hear the words of Scripture which God wrote.

Oct 21, 2013 · Amos did not make his living this way. Instead, he provided for himself in his work as a herdsman. Amos was also not the “son of a prophet” (Amos 7:14). He was not referring to the fact that his father was not a prophet. He was referring instead to what we might call the “schools” of the prophets where they would be trained to do the work.
