Verse 2. - The thought of ver. 1 is further expanded, the notion of flight being, as Jerome says, dissected. For dig, the LXX. reads, "be hidden;" but the expression implies a breaking through (Ezekiel 8:8). Hell (Sheol) is supposed to be in the inmost part of the earth (comp. Psalm 139:7, 8; Obadiah 1:4). Take them. To receive punishment. Amos 9:2

Amos appears to be an early prophetic composition, pre-exilic, but also shows signs of later redactions. It is most likely that the original composition was done by Amos and then copied later by a scribe. However, since all of the known Amos manuscripts are rather late, it is currently impossible to pinpoint an exact date. In the following section ...
During Amos’ ministry he faced opposition from both the religious and governing leaders of Israel. His message was in direct contrast with the norms of society. At this point in history, Israel was a wealthy and prosperous nation, successful in military accomplishments and business. They were still enjoying the wealth of the Davidic and Solomonic r...
The prophet Amos did not regard himself as a true prophet (“Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, “I was no prophet, nor a prophet’s son” Amos 7:14). However, the Lord did call upon and use Amos to fill such a prphetic role.He was even recognized by the priest of Bethel, Amaziah, as the prophet of Judah (Amos 7:10-17). His main profession was as ...
The outline of the book of Amos has been theorized in many ways. Some propose an over-all chiastic structure centering on verse 5:8 (“the Lord is His name”); however, a lot of fudging has to be done to make this setup work. The closest over-all chiastic structure found in the book is noted in the outline below, but is still theoretical since it is ...
The Genre of Amos, chapter nine, is largely poetic, with a judgment prophecy in the framework of a legal document. Poetic The prophetic aspect of this chapter is seen clearly in the opening of 9:1 where Amos declares that he saw (רָאִ֨יתִי) and heard (וַיֹּאמֶר) from the Lord, concerning future events that were going to occur.

The theological message of Amos can be summed up by verses 5:4-6, seek the Lord so that you may live. The future of the Israelites, both good and bad, is in the hands of the Lord and how they seek him. In 9:1-15, one sees both the wrath of God for not seeking him and blessings of the Lord for those who talk in his ways. God is depicted as having su...
For the original audience of Amos, chapter nine, this would serve as a strong rebuke and judgment for breaking the covenant made with the Lord, but also as a promise of covenant renewal. The fact that God is not only disciplining his people, but also restoring them reinforces that He intends to continue fulfilling His covenant promises, despite the...
The essence of Amos’ message is still relevant for today. Being in relationship with the Lord and putting our trust in Him is a timeless principle. Abraham trusted the Lord and was blessed because of it (Hebrews 11:8-17). Job had a heart to please the Lord and he was considered righteous in the eyes of the Lord (Job 1:1-5). Jesus sums up the whole ...
Amos does not generally draw such a distinction between the house of Jacob and the house of Israel, as that the first represents Judah, and the second the ten tribes; but he uses the two epithets as synonymous, as we may see from a comparison of Amos 6:8 with Amos 6:14, where the rejection of the pride of Israel and the hating of its palaces are practically interpreted by the raising up of a ...
One simply cannot read Amos 9:1 as any kind of reference to Bethel. This verse is therefore a prophecy of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, with the implied end of the kingdom and of the dynasty of David at the same time. Most Biblical exegetes seem to be unaware of what the Old Testament says of that Solomonic temple.
