The theme of judgment that has been prevalent throughout Amos’s prophecy continues in chapters 8-9. Amos relays two more visions that point to God’s immanent and inescapable judgment. And while God’s judgment is real, all hope is not lost. The Book of Amos ends on a high note – an assurance of God’s gracious intervention on behalf of His people. As we close out our study through Amos, will you join us in prayer?
