00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.320
 Good evening, everyone.

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:09.179
 You're all doing all right today.

00:00:09.859 --> 00:00:11.960
 And I just want to jump into the text.

00:00:12.259 --> 00:00:14.519
 Why don't we open our Bibles in Amos chapter 3.

00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:17.960
 I'm seeing a lot of new faces here.

00:00:18.740 --> 00:00:21.719
 Hopefully by the end of the evening, you'll be able to figure out my accent.

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.280
 And then somehow you'll understand what I'm saying.

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.420
 I'll try to do my best, I promise.

00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:30.240
 Whether it's going to work or not, don't know.

00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:31.340
 God's grace.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:34.400
 Let's open our Bibles, Amos chapter 3.

00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:49.840
 This is what the Word says.

00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:52.200
 Hear this word, people of Israel.

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.680
 The word of the Lord has spoken against you.

00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.799
 Against a whole family brought up out of Egypt.

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.680
 You only have chosen all the families of the earth.

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.159
 Therefore, I will punish you for all your sins.

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:11.340
 You two walk together unless they have agreed to do so.

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.939
 Does a lion roar in the ticket when he has no prey?

00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.620
 Does he growl in his den when he has cut nothing?

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:25.420
 Does a bird swoops down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there?

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.200
 Does a trap spring up from the ground?

00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:32.219
 Yet he hasn't cut anything.

00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:36.799
 When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble?

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.379
 When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?

00:01:41.379 --> 00:01:48.640
 Surely, the sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plans to his servants, the prophets.

00:01:49.019 --> 00:01:51.560
 The lion has roared, who will not fear?

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.359
 The sovereign Lord has spoken, who can't bad prophesy?

00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.560
 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt.

00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.420
 Assemble yourselves in the mountains of Samaria.

00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.819
 See the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people.

00:02:07.819 --> 00:02:16.280
 They do not know how to do right, declares the Lord, who were stored up in the fortresses, where they had plundered and looted.

00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.239
 Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says.

00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:28.019
 An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds, and plunder your fortresses.

00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:30.300
 This is what the Lord says.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.340
 As a shepherd rescues from the lion's mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an heir,

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:46.860
 so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued, with only the head of the bed and a piece of fabric from the couch.

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:53.560
 Hear this and testify against the descendants of Jacob, declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.

00:02:54.620 --> 00:02:56.900
 On that day I punish Israel for her sins.

00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.180
 I will destroy the altars of Bethel.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.040
 The horns of the altars will be cut off and fall to the ground.

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.680
 I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house.

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:15.420
 The houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed, and the mansions will be demolished, declares the Lord.

00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:21.260
 Ah, what a difficult passage it really is.

00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:23.720
 Tell me about it, really.

00:03:26.660 --> 00:03:29.200
 I was given this passage quite a few months ago.

00:03:30.100 --> 00:03:33.880
 Originally, I actually wrote on my phone that I was preaching chapter 4.

00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:36.740
 And I was preparing myself to chapter 4.

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:40.400
 I was reading chapter 4, although I was reading a whole book, I would deny it.

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.480
 But I was focusing on chapter 4.

00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:47.299
 And last Friday, I come to church, to the office, and go to meet John.

00:03:48.379 --> 00:03:50.799
 We were just discussing what Amos is going to be like.

00:03:50.899 --> 00:03:55.819
 And suddenly he says, yeah, but, you know, 3 and 4 are always together, so it's going to be easy.

00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.179
 I'm like, what do you mean 3 and 4?

00:03:58.459 --> 00:04:03.060
 And that's when actually I realized I was not doing chapter 4, but actually doing chapter 3.

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:07.560
 So, if you feel I'm preaching chapter 4 today, please, I apologize, you now know why.

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:09.819
 But I'm going to try to do it in chapter 3.

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.920
 And the first thought that I have in my head when I was reading the book of Amos, which is actually a kind of book very difficult.

00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:20.079
 Not many people really like reading Amos because they feel it's very difficult to get.

00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.259
 Normally, when you get to Amos in the Bible, you're doing like chronologically,

00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:27.500
 or you're just going through the whole book of the Bible, you just jump in.

00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.579
 You go to the next one, next, and then you jump to that.

00:04:30.579 --> 00:04:35.159
 And the first thing that came to my head was, and I'm going to be honest with this,

00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:38.919
 how can God do something like this?

00:04:40.859 --> 00:04:43.180
 I was like, what can I do with this passage?

00:04:44.219 --> 00:04:46.300
 And then I began to spend a lot of time in Amos.

00:04:46.419 --> 00:04:47.779
 Of course, that's not the message, basically.

00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:52.219
 But then I began to spend a lot of time with Amos, and I began to discover what is actually behind it,

00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:53.839
 to see what the context is about.

00:04:54.039 --> 00:05:00.079
 And my thinking changed from how can God do something like this to,

00:05:00.579 --> 00:05:05.779
 what horrible people, what horrible Israel were.

00:05:06.539 --> 00:05:10.120
 How can they forget what God has done for them?

00:05:10.979 --> 00:05:13.839
 That is basically the whole message of Amos.

00:05:14.419 --> 00:05:15.159
 God is roaring.

00:05:15.719 --> 00:05:18.919
 God is crying out for them to see what they have forgotten.

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.420
 They have forgotten about him.

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.180
 They have forgotten what he has done for them.

00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:27.580
 And they are going in a way that he is not happy with.

00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:29.699
 That is when the judgment comes.

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.220
 That is why when it feels like God is roaring,

00:05:33.259 --> 00:05:34.800
 with angriness, perhaps.

00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.960
 But it's lots of love being implied in that.

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:40.700
 So I'm going to try to lead you to that,

00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:42.660
 and we'll try to see it.

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:44.840
 So I'm going to tell you a bit more about Amos.

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:46.680
 Amos is in...

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:47.820
 I need to put this one up.

00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:48.040
 Yep.

00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:52.760
 So Amos is a book...

00:05:52.760 --> 00:05:54.640
 Amos was a prophet who actually lived in Judah,

00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:57.520
 but he spoke to Israel.

00:05:58.180 --> 00:06:01.300
 And his ministry took place during the reigns of Uzziah, Judah,

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:02.980
 and the king of Jerobo,

00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:04.840
 Jerobo and the second of Israel,

00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:09.900
 which is about 790 to 740 before Christ,

00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:11.919
 for you to have a picture of what's happening there.

00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.579
 And basically his message was about judgment.

00:06:15.479 --> 00:06:16.679
 At the beginning of his prophecy,

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.019
 he firstly spoke of the six nations surrounding Israel,

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:21.239
 which are...

00:06:21.239 --> 00:06:21.859
 Does anybody remember?

00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:23.239
 Which...

00:06:23.239 --> 00:06:24.739
 There are no six nations of Rabi, okay?

00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:25.939
 That's different six nations.

00:06:26.359 --> 00:06:30.899
 The six nations are Moab, Damascus, Gaza, Tyre,

00:06:32.179 --> 00:06:33.599
 Eden, and the Ammonites.

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.479
 And then he not only spoke about them,

00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:37.919
 but he also spoke about Judah.

00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:39.519
 And then finally...

00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.779
 He moves to speak to Israel about Israel.

00:06:42.599 --> 00:06:43.839
 Although Amos is speaking,

00:06:44.179 --> 00:06:46.379
 but if God, the lion, as I describe it,

00:06:46.779 --> 00:06:47.439
 he is roaring.

00:06:48.039 --> 00:06:51.060
 And he is roaring against the six surrounding nations of Israel.

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:52.839
 And Israel goes...

00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.159
 I can imagine when Amos is beginning in chapter 1,

00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:56.579
 at the beginning of chapter 1,

00:06:56.659 --> 00:06:59.139
 declaring all the sins against those six nations,

00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:01.799
 Amos, the people of Israel, would be like,

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:02.099
 Yes!

00:07:02.359 --> 00:07:03.060
 Keep going, Amos.

00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:03.479
 Do it.

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.259
 Do it that way.

00:07:04.259 --> 00:07:06.779
 And then the prophecy changed,

00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:07.519
 and Amos goes,

00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:10.139
 I'm no longer speaking about the six nations.

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.899
 I'm going to go and speak again Judah.

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:15.519
 And of course, Israel and Judah weren't good friends.

00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:17.500
 So I can imagine the people from Israel were like,

00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:17.800
 Yes!

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.819
 Keep going, keep going.

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:19.420
 Bring it on.

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:20.079
 Bring it on, buddy.

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.859
 And then, finally,

00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:24.740
 from chapter 2, from verse 6 and on,

00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:26.519
 the message changed.

00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:29.699
 And then Amos is no longer speaking about the six nations.

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:32.339
 He's no longer speaking about Judah.

00:07:32.919 --> 00:07:34.959
 But now he turns drastically

00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:36.979
 and faces Israel

00:07:36.979 --> 00:07:38.519
 and says,

00:07:38.979 --> 00:07:41.719
 And now I have something for you, Israel.

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.019
 This is the message for you.

00:07:44.500 --> 00:07:47.279
 It's actually you the main reason why I'm coming to prophesy.

00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.319
 My whole prophecy has nothing to do with them,

00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:53.659
 but it has a lot to do with you.

00:07:54.599 --> 00:07:55.579
 That's why I'm here.

00:07:56.139 --> 00:07:59.579
 And basically, that is where the Israelites are in chapter 3.

00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:02.500
 They went from the enjoyment of chapter 1

00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:04.459
 to the confusion of chapter 2

00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:06.719
 to the show of chapter 3

00:08:06.719 --> 00:08:09.199
 where the judgment is being revealed to them.

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.399
 And precisely, Israel is actually being judged,

00:08:13.899 --> 00:08:16.239
 not just despised by the far they were privileged,

00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.120
 but because of the fact,

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:20.460
 they were privileged.

00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.180
 Because of the things they were given for God,

00:08:23.579 --> 00:08:25.300
 is that God has to precisely

00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:26.960
 do something with them.

00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:30.500
 So, once we begin to dig into the first,

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:32.399
 to the first few verses of the chapter,

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:33.720
 3,

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.240
 we develop a...

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.740
 I hope this one works.

00:08:38.740 --> 00:08:39.440
 Okay, there we are.

00:08:41.060 --> 00:08:43.220
 So, I made three different titles for this one.

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:45.800
 So, the first one is the fairness of God's judgment.

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:48.019
 You can actually see in verses 1 and 2.

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:49.240
 And this is what it says.

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.220
 Hear this word, people of Israel.

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.440
 The word of the Lord has spoken against you,

00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.899
 against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt.

00:08:57.540 --> 00:08:59.360
 You only have I chosen,

00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:01.660
 but all the families of the earth.

00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:05.139
 Therefore, I will punish you for all your sins.

00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:10.699
 Amos begins this chapter by reminding them

00:09:10.699 --> 00:09:11.960
 that God's judgment is fair.

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:13.720
 He begins this word by saying,

00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:14.500
 hear this word.

00:09:15.539 --> 00:09:16.620
 The beginning of chapter 3,

00:09:17.019 --> 00:09:18.080
 the beginning of chapter 4,

00:09:18.199 --> 00:09:19.279
 and the beginning of chapter 5

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:20.379
 had a common scene,

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:22.139
 something very much in common.

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:23.939
 They all began with the same word.

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.460
 Hear this word.

00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:28.319
 Basically saying,

00:09:28.779 --> 00:09:29.179
 Amos,

00:09:29.439 --> 00:09:30.439
 listen to this.

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:32.340
 This is very, very, very important.

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:33.899
 Listen to this,

00:09:33.939 --> 00:09:34.559
 and this is for you.

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:37.319
 That is how Amos started

00:09:37.319 --> 00:09:38.720
 the next three chapters.

00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:40.259
 And he starts in here.

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:42.600
 And then he goes to develop the next thing.

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:44.939
 And basically,

00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:46.779
 it's a reminder that Israel must listen

00:09:46.779 --> 00:09:47.919
 and they must obey.

00:09:48.500 --> 00:09:50.500
 But we probably will discover

00:09:50.500 --> 00:09:51.980
 they wouldn't do that.

00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.000
 So Amos draws deeply on an early scripture

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.600
 to show how fair and biased God's judgment is.

00:09:58.039 --> 00:09:59.919
 He calls them people of Israel.

00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:02.019
 When he's saying people of Israel,

00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:05.120
 he's not only defying the people of that place,

00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:07.139
 but it's actually defying the whole people

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:08.179
 from Israel.

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:09.220
 Both tribes,

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:11.259
 both different nations,

00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:12.480
 Judah and Israel,

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:13.860
 because they were both

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:15.460
 taken out from Egypt

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:16.960
 and brought from God

00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.399
 to the place where he was promised.

00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.480
 There are two important words here to see.

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.720
 The first one is in verse 2,

00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:28.159
 where it says,

00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.839
 you only have a chosen.

00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:34.120
 Slice of working.

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:34.579
 Anyway.

00:10:37.419 --> 00:10:38.879
 And this word chosen

00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.639
 in this particular context

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.179
 describes a relationship,

00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:43.639
 describes a word

00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.559
 with God having a relationship

00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:47.899
 or covenant with them.

00:10:48.299 --> 00:10:50.279
 God had chosen Israel

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.699
 to reveal himself,

00:10:51.939 --> 00:10:53.319
 to reveal himself to them

00:10:53.319 --> 00:10:55.860
 and to have a permanent relationship with them.

00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:57.379
 And that's what he says,

00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.659
 I have chosen for all the families of the year,

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.639
 you, Israel.

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.899
 And that's what I chose him to do.

00:11:03.180 --> 00:11:04.560
 The first one we actually,

00:11:07.860 --> 00:11:09.180
 and basically this describes

00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:11.360
 the God's sovereign choice of Israel.

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.399
 And basically,

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:16.080
 he's loving and showing,

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:17.519
 he's loving concern for them

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.720
 that he really cares

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.720
 and he chose them.

00:11:20.180 --> 00:11:20.940
 That was the first thing,

00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:22.240
 that Israel is not only a nation.

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.000
 Israel is the only one nation

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.720
 with God having a specific covenant,

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.500
 a relationship or covenant.

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:31.600
 But then he goes to the next one,

00:11:31.899 --> 00:11:33.259
 therefore I will punish you.

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.980
 And the second word I want us to look

00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:36.680
 is actually punish.

00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:39.379
 Generally,

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:41.000
 in some other translations of the Bible,

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:42.659
 the same word is used

00:11:42.659 --> 00:11:43.580
 in a different way.

00:11:43.899 --> 00:11:44.759
 It's used as basic.

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:46.159
 So,

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.639
 the point that is happening here

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:51.120
 is like this,

00:11:51.339 --> 00:11:52.500
 the word can also be translated

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.059
 as basic.

00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:55.199
 And it occurs in different contexts.

00:11:55.620 --> 00:11:56.219
 If you remember,

00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:58.279
 if you ever read chapter 50 of Genesis,

00:11:59.959 --> 00:12:01.319
 Joseph is about to die.

00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:03.419
 The Israelites are in Egypt.

00:12:04.219 --> 00:12:05.799
 And he is about to go away,

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:07.759
 but he speaks to the people of Israel.

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:09.360
 And he tells them this,

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:10.679
 remember,

00:12:11.439 --> 00:12:12.959
 God is going to come

00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:13.579
 and come out

00:12:13.579 --> 00:12:15.299
 from where you are,

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:16.059
 here in Egypt.

00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:17.740
 And will come and visit you

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:18.379
 and take it.

00:12:18.699 --> 00:12:19.740
 He will take you

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:20.799
 to the land

00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.799
 that he has promised you.

00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.639
 That was the first time

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.740
 that actually this word was used

00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:26.600
 in the context of basic.

00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:27.939
 And now the prophet

00:12:27.939 --> 00:12:28.860
 is coming to say

00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:30.480
 that therefore God

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.039
 is going to come

00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:31.699
 and punish them.

00:12:32.819 --> 00:12:33.500
 And the same word

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:34.480
 is used in a very

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.339
 backwards way,

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:36.799
 I would say.

00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:37.819
 So now,

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:39.620
 they are in a promised land,

00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:41.220
 but Amos is saying

00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:41.740
 that the Lord

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:42.159
 is going to come

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:42.779
 and punish you

00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:44.039
 slash visit them.

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:44.839
 So the Lord

00:12:44.839 --> 00:12:45.319
 is going to come

00:12:45.319 --> 00:12:46.039
 and take them,

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.179
 for where they are,

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.699
 which is the promised land,

00:12:49.199 --> 00:12:50.159
 they are going to be

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.759
 taken away

00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.199
 to the exile.

00:12:53.839 --> 00:12:55.159
 Do you see the contrast there?

00:12:55.719 --> 00:12:56.019
 How,

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.699
 because of disobedience,

00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.339
 because of the fair judgment,

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:00.399
 that

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:01.919
 treatment of God

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.679
 has been reversed.

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.539
 This visit from God,

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:05.779
 that doesn't mean

00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:06.279
 they are taken

00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:07.120
 to the promised land.

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:08.159
 actually,

00:13:08.580 --> 00:13:10.659
 they are being taken out

00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:12.980
 from the promised land.

00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:15.879
 So that therefore,

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:16.419
 here,

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:17.240
 is the word

00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:18.340
 that comes very strong.

00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:20.519
 The Lord's covenant

00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:21.360
 of grace

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:22.600
 includes punishment

00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:23.539
 for sins,

00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:24.820
 precisely because

00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:26.000
 the Lord chose Israel.

00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:26.919
 Therefore,

00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:28.419
 He loves His people

00:13:28.419 --> 00:13:29.080
 too much

00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:30.320
 to let them sin.

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.580
 The whole reason

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:32.519
 why God

00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:33.500
 is going to take Israel

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:34.120
 away

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.460
 from where they are,

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.560
 because they have been

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:41.740
 so disobedient to Him.

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:44.240
 And they have not behaved

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:44.600
 in the way

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.480
 He has chosen to.

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.019
 And He has to do something.

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:49.980
 So Amos is coming to say,

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:51.379
 because of what you're doing,

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:52.759
 therefore,

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:55.039
 this is what the Lord

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:55.480
 is going to do.

00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:57.840
 That is basically

00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.139
 the fairness

00:13:59.139 --> 00:14:00.600
 of this judgment.

00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.399
 And for a moment,

00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:04.180
 I want you to

00:14:04.180 --> 00:14:04.779
 to think.

00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:05.659
 Let's just stop for a moment.

00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:07.320
 I've got a question for you.

00:14:07.420 --> 00:14:07.879
 I want you to

00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.240
 answer in your head.

00:14:09.379 --> 00:14:10.100
 Probably you won't tell me,

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.240
 but answer it.

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:14.300
 Is God right

00:14:14.300 --> 00:14:15.779
 to judge Israel

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:17.000
 at this point?

00:14:19.800 --> 00:14:21.080
 Is God being unfair

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:21.540
 with them?

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.279
 Is God doing something

00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:24.980
 that He shouldn't do?

00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:28.440
 God chose His people

00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:29.380
 and gave them a name.

00:14:29.780 --> 00:14:30.660
 He gave them a land.

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:32.280
 He gave them victory.

00:14:32.780 --> 00:14:33.660
 He rescued them.

00:14:34.060 --> 00:14:35.200
 He defeated their enemies.

00:14:35.800 --> 00:14:36.600
 He gave them more

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.100
 and more

00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:37.640
 and more

00:14:37.640 --> 00:14:38.600
 and more things.

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.560
 And even with all

00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:43.440
 they got from God,

00:14:45.540 --> 00:14:46.200
 they have forgotten

00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:46.680
 about Him.

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:50.620
 He even gave them

00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:51.279
 a relationship

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:51.899
 with covenant.

00:14:52.420 --> 00:14:52.960
 He said,

00:14:53.300 --> 00:14:53.759
 I'll,

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.920
 you'll be my people.

00:14:56.300 --> 00:14:56.800
 And especially,

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:57.920
 the most astonishing thing,

00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:58.899
 God said,

00:14:59.180 --> 00:14:59.879
 and I

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:01.740
 will be your God.

00:15:02.940 --> 00:15:04.320
 And they have forgotten that.

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:07.899
 So is this fair?

00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:09.440
 Yes.

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.940
 Sadly it is.

00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.519
 God is being fair.

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:15.100
 Even when He sounds horrible,

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:16.840
 God is being fair.

00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:18.879
 His treatment to Israel

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.399
 is fair.

00:15:20.680 --> 00:15:21.560
 So the next thing

00:15:21.560 --> 00:15:22.440
 we can actually see

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.200
 is from verses 3 to 8

00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.740
 is that this judgment

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:29.399
 is actually inevitable.

00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:31.519
 I will read it to you again.

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:31.580
 Amen.

00:15:31.580 --> 00:15:38.800
 Do two walk together

00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:39.720
 unless they have agreed

00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:40.320
 to do so?

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:41.720
 Does a lion

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.759
 run in the thicket

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.000
 when he has no prey?

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:45.360
 Does a growl

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.220
 in its den

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:48.900
 when it has

00:15:48.900 --> 00:15:49.460
 caught nothing?

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:51.220
 Does a bear

00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:52.400
 swoop down

00:15:52.400 --> 00:15:53.080
 to a trap

00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:53.460
 ground

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:54.040
 when it has no

00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:54.620
 bait in there?

00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:57.340
 Does a trap

00:15:57.340 --> 00:15:58.220
 spring up

00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:58.820
 on the ground

00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:00.000
 when it has not

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:00.759
 caught anything?

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:02.720
 Amos presents

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.360
 a series of rhetorical questions

00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:05.379
 to emphasize

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:06.460
 that actually

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:07.080
 the judgment

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.399
 is not that far away

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.559
 that the judgment

00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.080
 is imminent.

00:16:11.539 --> 00:16:12.319
 That the judgment

00:16:12.319 --> 00:16:13.299
 is going to come

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:15.460
 and it's imminent

00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:16.279
 and inevitable

00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.659
 and it will actually

00:16:18.659 --> 00:16:20.039
 come to those

00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:21.539
 who don't respond.

00:16:21.539 --> 00:16:24.679
 the question

00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:25.399
 in verse 3

00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:26.579
 continues

00:16:26.579 --> 00:16:27.059
 this theme

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:27.759
 relationship

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.819
 playing in the

00:16:28.819 --> 00:16:29.159
 relationship

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:29.899
 between God

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:30.439
 and Israel

00:16:30.439 --> 00:16:31.599
 as it is intended.

00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:32.659
 The clear

00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:33.199
 implications

00:16:33.199 --> 00:16:33.620
 is that

00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:34.139
 the initial

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.599
 call

00:16:34.599 --> 00:16:35.439
 of Israel

00:16:35.439 --> 00:16:37.079
 needs to be

00:16:37.079 --> 00:16:37.459
 sustained

00:16:37.459 --> 00:16:38.299
 by a continuous

00:16:38.299 --> 00:16:39.620
 walk with God.

00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:41.039
 Some seem

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.699
 precisely

00:16:41.699 --> 00:16:42.539
 they have

00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:43.459
 stopped doing it.

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:44.839
 What it says

00:16:44.839 --> 00:16:45.079
 like

00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:46.839
 do two walk

00:16:46.839 --> 00:16:47.179
 together

00:16:47.179 --> 00:16:47.740
 unless they have

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:48.179
 agreed so?

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:49.059
 They were supposed

00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:49.679
 to agree so.

00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.579
 that's why

00:16:50.579 --> 00:16:50.919
 there was

00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.439
 the relational

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:51.859
 covenant

00:16:51.859 --> 00:16:52.719
 but Israel

00:16:52.719 --> 00:16:53.719
 was not doing that.

00:16:54.339 --> 00:16:55.099
 Israel began

00:16:55.099 --> 00:16:56.000
 to walk with God

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:56.639
 but eventually

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.399
 drove away

00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:58.939
 his hand

00:16:58.939 --> 00:17:00.000
 and didn't want

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.239
 to walk

00:17:00.239 --> 00:17:00.579
 with God

00:17:00.579 --> 00:17:00.919
 anymore.

00:17:03.479 --> 00:17:04.200
 Verse 4

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:04.700
 and 5

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:07.899
 the point

00:17:07.899 --> 00:17:08.299
 that Amos

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:08.579
 is trying

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:08.899
 to do

00:17:08.899 --> 00:17:09.379
 in verse 4

00:17:09.379 --> 00:17:09.720
 and 5

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.200
 is he's

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.579
 trying to

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:12.259
 come across

00:17:12.259 --> 00:17:13.480
 that every

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:14.059
 effect

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:15.000
 has a cause

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.299
 or every cause

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:17.859
 is produced

00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:18.460
 by an effect.

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:19.539
 the lion

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:19.860
 roars

00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:20.180
 when he

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:20.559
 has found

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:20.980
 a prey

00:17:20.980 --> 00:17:23.380
 a young lion

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:23.700
 grows

00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:24.039
 when he

00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:25.140
 has got

00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:25.700
 something

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:26.680
 a trap

00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:27.400
 needs a bait

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:28.319
 in order to work

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.299
 can you imagine

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:29.700
 a trap

00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:30.019
 is going to

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:30.220
 work

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.759
 without a bait

00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.039
 we wouldn't

00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:33.519
 be that

00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:33.940
 fooling out

00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:34.299
 with it

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:36.960
 a trap

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:37.340
 spring

00:17:37.340 --> 00:17:37.819
 doesn't

00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:38.279
 shut

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:40.000
 when it's

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:40.279
 empty

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:41.440
 it has

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:41.840
 to do

00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:42.279
 something

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:42.799
 basically

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:43.240
 what Amos

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:43.680
 is saying

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.240
 if you

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:45.720
 do this

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.579
 this is

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:46.740
 going to

00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:47.440
 happen

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:49.799
 you take

00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:50.640
 state A

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.059
 actually you

00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:52.340
 have to

00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:53.000
 take state B

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:53.779
 because that's

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:54.160
 what is actually

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:54.539
 happening

00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:55.340
 so Amos

00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:55.720
 is telling

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.019
 them

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.640
 this is

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:56.980
 inevitable

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:57.819
 this is

00:17:57.819 --> 00:17:58.039
 going to

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.360
 happen

00:17:58.360 --> 00:17:59.180
 and this

00:17:59.180 --> 00:17:59.759
 is caused

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.340
 by something

00:18:00.340 --> 00:18:00.620
 you have

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:00.960
 done

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.160
 verse 6

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:06.539
 says

00:18:06.539 --> 00:18:07.380
 that when a

00:18:07.380 --> 00:18:07.740
 trumpet

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:10.440
 sounds in a

00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:10.759
 city

00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:11.539
 does people

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:12.180
 not tremble

00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:14.200
 every time

00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:14.799
 in the past

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.519
 when a

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.160
 trumpet was

00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:16.620
 blown

00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:17.559
 in a

00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:17.839
 city

00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:18.759
 people

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.000
 would

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:19.359
 know

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.000
 there

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:20.119
 was

00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:20.419
 something

00:18:20.419 --> 00:18:20.959
 about

00:18:20.959 --> 00:18:21.139
 to

00:18:21.139 --> 00:18:21.459
 happen

00:18:21.459 --> 00:18:22.339
 either

00:18:22.339 --> 00:18:22.719
 were

00:18:22.719 --> 00:18:23.879
 calamity

00:18:23.879 --> 00:18:24.959
 invasion

00:18:24.959 --> 00:18:25.879
 something

00:18:25.879 --> 00:18:26.299
 wrong

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:26.939
 and when

00:18:26.939 --> 00:18:27.539
 the trumpet

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:28.199
 was blown

00:18:28.199 --> 00:18:29.000
 everyone

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:29.599
 would shake

00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:29.859
 everyone

00:18:29.859 --> 00:18:30.319
 would tremble

00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:30.759
 oh let's

00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:31.239
 do something

00:18:31.239 --> 00:18:31.559
 let's get

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:32.059
 my child

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:32.839
 let's call

00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:33.439
 daycare

00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:34.079
 let's do

00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:34.539
 something

00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:34.939
 oh let's

00:18:34.939 --> 00:18:35.179
 go to

00:18:35.179 --> 00:18:35.479
 Ikea

00:18:35.479 --> 00:18:35.739
 and get

00:18:35.739 --> 00:18:35.959
 something

00:18:35.959 --> 00:18:36.419
 we need

00:18:36.419 --> 00:18:36.579
 to

00:18:36.579 --> 00:18:36.939
 because we

00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:36.979
 are

00:18:36.979 --> 00:18:37.079
 going to

00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:37.179
 be

00:18:37.179 --> 00:18:37.519
 invaded

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:38.239
 let's

00:18:38.239 --> 00:18:38.699
 prepare

00:18:38.699 --> 00:18:39.239
 for that

00:18:39.239 --> 00:18:40.059
 and people

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:40.659
 knew it

00:18:40.659 --> 00:18:41.759
 and Amos

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.199
 is calling

00:18:42.199 --> 00:18:42.539
 that and

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:42.819
 say

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:43.799
 you know

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:44.259
 that

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:45.119
 but now

00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:45.459
 when I'm

00:18:45.459 --> 00:18:45.959
 coming to

00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.039
 you and

00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:47.420
 telling you

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:47.900
 the message

00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:48.539
 from God

00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:50.299
 that God

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:50.819
 is roaring

00:18:50.819 --> 00:18:52.079
 you don't

00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:52.840
 even care

00:18:52.840 --> 00:18:55.799
 you know

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:56.120
 how to

00:18:56.120 --> 00:18:56.660
 be alert

00:18:56.660 --> 00:18:56.960
 when a

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.240
 trumpet

00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:57.720
 blows

00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.819
 in a

00:18:58.819 --> 00:18:59.079
 city

00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:00.059
 but when

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:00.660
 God

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.160
 is blowing

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:02.360
 when he

00:19:02.360 --> 00:19:03.140
 is crying

00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:03.440
 out

00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.759
 you don't

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:04.940
 do

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:05.440
 anything

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:12.460
 Amos is

00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:12.620
 saying

00:19:12.620 --> 00:19:12.860
 I'm

00:19:12.860 --> 00:19:13.340
 coming to

00:19:13.340 --> 00:19:13.720
 blow the

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:14.140
 trumpet

 you

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:17.680
 must

00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.200
 respond

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:18.680
 you

00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:19.120

 to

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:19.840
 God

00:19:19.840 --> 00:19:20.440
 the

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:20.799
 judgment

 in

00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:23.580
 Israel

00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:24.880
 but Israel

00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:25.279
 is not

00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:25.500
 doing

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:25.880
 anything

00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.500
 Israel

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.080
 had seen

00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:28.380
 God's

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:28.640
 judgment

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.080
 in pagan

00:19:29.080 --> 00:19:29.480
 nations

00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:29.960
 many times

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:30.120
 in the

00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:30.420
 past

00:19:30.420 --> 00:19:31.559
 but now

00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:32.279
 they are

00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:32.700
 about to

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:33.100
 face

00:19:33.100 --> 00:19:34.180

 the

00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:47.339
 Lord

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:47.539
 has

00:19:47.539 --> 00:19:47.819

00:19:47.819 --> 00:19:48.079
 this

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:48.259
 to

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:48.680
 Amos

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:49.339
 God

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:49.559
 has

00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:50.019
 spoken

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:51.259
 now

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:51.839

00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:52.079
 prophet

00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:52.460
 must

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:52.859
 prophesy

00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:54.000
 like a

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:54.519
 lion's

00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:54.980
 voice

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:55.480
 evokes

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:55.839
 fear

00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:56.119
 when you

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:56.740
 hear it

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:57.599
 so

00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:57.799
 thus

00:19:57.799 --> 00:19:57.940

00:19:58.599 --> 00:19:59.460
 compels

00:19:59.460 --> 00:19:59.640
 the

00:19:59.640 --> 00:19:59.920
 prophet

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:00.140

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:25.799
 funny

00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:26.019
 from

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:26.119
 the

00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:26.279
 day

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:26.440
 when

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:26.579
 the

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:26.819
 prophecy

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.039
 was

00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:27.299
 given

00:21:27.299 --> 00:21:28.180
 it

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:28.359
 took

00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:28.539
 like

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:28.940
 40

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:29.519
 years

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:30.920
 when

00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:31.079
 we

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:31.460
 actually

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:31.680
 the

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.519
 Assyrians

00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:32.839
 came

00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:33.920
 it is

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.220
 a long

00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:34.480
 time

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:34.720
 isn't

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:34.879
 it

00:21:34.879 --> 00:21:35.720
 I'm

00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:35.819
 not

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:35.960
 even

00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:36.299
 40

00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:36.579
 yet

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:37.859
 so

00:21:37.859 --> 00:21:38.099
 many

00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:38.659
 years

00:21:38.659 --> 00:21:39.859
 for

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:40.039
 them

00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:40.200
 to

00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:40.559
 repent

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:41.259
 so

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:41.460
 many

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:42.099
 opportunities

00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:42.339
 for

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:42.480
 them

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:42.619
 to

00:21:42.619 --> 00:21:42.960
 realize

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:43.119
 what

00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:43.279
 God

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.420
 was

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:43.680
 doing

00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:44.700
 they

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:44.839
 wouldn't

00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:45.180
 care

00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:51.299
 Amos

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:51.460
 was

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:51.659
 not

00:21:51.659 --> 00:21:52.059
 speaking

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:52.359
 about

00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:52.720
 God's

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:53.000
 people

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.839
 Amos

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.039
 was

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.500
 speaking

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.339
 to

00:21:56.339 --> 00:21:57.599
 God's

00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:57.900
 people

00:21:57.900 --> 00:21:59.519
 the

00:21:59.519 --> 00:21:59.799
 message

00:21:59.799 --> 00:21:59.980
 was

00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:00.460
 straight

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:00.680
 to

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:00.920
 them

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.759
 it

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:01.880
 was

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:02.099
 not

00:22:02.099 --> 00:22:02.359
 about

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:02.519
 them

00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:02.619
 it

00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:02.779
 was

00:22:02.779 --> 00:22:03.440
 to

00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:03.759
 them

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.519
 you

00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:04.779
 must

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.140
 depend

00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:05.799
 you

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:06.059
 must

00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:06.440
 change

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.180
 God

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:07.380
 is

00:22:07.380 --> 00:22:07.599
 telling

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:07.740
 you

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:07.839
 to

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:07.980
 do

00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:08.259
 something

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:08.660
 different

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:09.339
 they

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:09.680
 wouldn't

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.000
 listen

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:10.220
 to

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:10.980
 people

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.180
 were

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:11.599
 ignoring

00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:11.799
 the

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:11.960
 word

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.119
 of

00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:12.660
 God

00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:13.299
 spoken

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:13.500
 by

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:13.880
 Amos

00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:16.140
 none

00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:16.380
 of them

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:16.519
 were

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:16.980
 responded

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:18.579
 and I

00:22:18.579 --> 00:22:18.960
 wonder

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:20.200
 how many

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.539
 times

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:20.720
 do

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.279
 we

00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:21.500
 like

00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:21.900
 Israel

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:23.700
 when

00:22:23.700 --> 00:22:23.920
 we

00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:24.220
 hear

00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:24.360
 the

00:22:24.360 --> 00:22:24.540
 voice

00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:24.680
 of

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:24.960
 God

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:25.680
 through

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:25.820
 his

00:22:25.820 --> 00:22:26.060
 word

00:22:26.060 --> 00:22:27.800
 and we

00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:27.940
 just

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:28.280
 ignore

00:22:28.280 --> 00:22:28.540
 it

00:22:28.540 --> 00:22:29.620
 we

00:22:29.620 --> 00:22:29.780
 don't

00:22:29.780 --> 00:22:30.060
 listen

00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:30.280
 to

00:22:30.280 --> 00:22:30.460
 it

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:32.880
 sometimes

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.180
 when

00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:33.519
 even

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:33.780
 we

00:22:33.780 --> 00:22:33.980
 know

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.140
 what

00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:34.259
 the

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:34.480
 Bible

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.980
 says

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:35.780
 we

00:22:35.780 --> 00:22:36.120
 still

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:36.400
 choose

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:36.540
 to

00:22:36.540 --> 00:22:36.840
 run

00:22:36.840 --> 00:22:39.380
 how

00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:39.680
 similar

00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:39.880
 to

00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:40.120
 Israel

00:22:40.120 --> 00:22:40.360
 can

00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:40.500
 we

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:40.759
 actually

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.080
 be

00:22:41.080 --> 00:22:42.140
 I

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:42.220
 don't

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:42.360
 know

00:22:42.360 --> 00:22:42.600
 just

00:22:42.600 --> 00:22:42.759
 a

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.000
 generic

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.480
 question

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:43.960
 that

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:44.160
 just

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:44.340
 came

00:22:44.340 --> 00:22:44.460
 to

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:44.580
 my

00:22:44.580 --> 00:22:44.820
 head

00:22:44.820 --> 00:22:46.220
 how

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:46.380
 many

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:46.660
 times

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:46.800
 I

00:22:46.800 --> 00:22:46.880
 have

00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.180
 been

00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:48.100
 in

00:22:48.100 --> 00:22:48.300
 that

00:22:48.300 --> 00:22:48.720
 situation

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:48.900
 where

00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:49.019
 I

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:49.259
 feel

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:49.560
 like

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.840
 even

00:22:52.840 --> 00:22:53.060
 knowing

00:22:53.060 --> 00:22:53.180
 what

00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:53.259
 the

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:53.400
 Bible

00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:53.700
 says

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:54.980
 I

00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:55.120
 do

00:22:55.120 --> 00:22:55.360
 something

00:22:55.360 --> 00:22:55.600
 wrong

00:22:55.600 --> 00:22:55.720
 and

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:55.800
 it

00:22:55.800 --> 00:22:56.460
 it's

00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:56.700
 fine

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:57.600
 nobody

00:22:57.600 --> 00:22:58.100
 knows

00:22:58.100 --> 00:22:59.680
 it's

00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:00.000
 fine

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:01.040
 I

00:23:01.040 --> 00:23:01.720
 got

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:01.900
 the

00:23:01.900 --> 00:23:02.100
 freedom

00:23:02.100 --> 00:23:02.400
 to do

00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:02.580
 whatever

00:23:02.580 --> 00:23:02.720
 I

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:03.019
 want

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:05.100
 this

00:23:05.100 --> 00:23:05.400
 country

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:05.780
 gives me

00:23:05.780 --> 00:23:06.040
 freedom

00:23:06.040 --> 00:23:06.320
 so I

00:23:06.320 --> 00:23:06.420
 can

00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:06.519
 do

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:06.720
 whatever

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:06.880
 I

00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:07.140
 want

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:08.180
 and

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:09.340
 so

00:23:09.340 --> 00:23:09.580
 many

00:23:09.580 --> 00:23:09.800
 other

00:23:09.800 --> 00:23:10.180
 excuses

00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:10.560
 to do

00:23:10.560 --> 00:23:10.740
 whatever

00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:10.920
 you

00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:11.259
 want

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:12.140
 even

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:12.519
 ignoring

00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:12.700
 what

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:12.820
 the

00:23:12.820 --> 00:23:12.960
 Bible

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:13.360
 says

00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:14.480
 this

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:14.700
 is

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:14.840
 the

00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:15.180
 position

00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:15.380
 of

00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:15.740
 Israel

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:16.780
 this

00:23:16.780 --> 00:23:16.900
 is

00:23:16.900 --> 00:23:17.080
 how

00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:17.280
 they

00:23:17.280 --> 00:23:17.660
 are

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:18.519
 they

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:18.620
 are

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.060
 ignoring

00:23:19.060 --> 00:23:19.259
 what

00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:20.119
 brought

00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:20.639
 up

00:25:20.639 --> 00:25:22.039
 Israel

00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:22.940
 to show

00:25:22.940 --> 00:25:23.240
 to the

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:23.539
 world

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:24.240
 what a

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:24.559
 godly

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:24.819
 nation

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:25.059
 should

00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:25.339
 be

00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:26.680
 and to

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:27.119
 reflect

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:27.440
 to the

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:27.740
 pagan

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:28.779
 neighbors

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:29.700
 what a

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:29.960
 nation

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:30.399
 should be

00:25:30.399 --> 00:25:30.740
 like

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.919
 but here

00:25:31.919 --> 00:25:32.119
 the

00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:32.480
 prophets

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:33.299
 with

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:33.799
 big

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:34.399
 irony

00:25:34.399 --> 00:25:35.200
 is

00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:35.500
 called

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:36.200
 Ashdod

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:36.859
 which was

00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:37.319
 a Philistine

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:38.399
 city

00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:39.100
 and

00:25:39.100 --> 00:25:39.220
 he's

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.380
 calling

00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:39.900
 Egypt

00:25:39.900 --> 00:25:40.720
 which was

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:40.980
 an

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.440
 enemy

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:41.940
 of

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:42.360
 Israel

00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:43.540
 an

00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:43.860
 enemy

00:25:43.860 --> 00:25:44.100
 of

00:25:44.100 --> 00:25:44.519
 God

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:45.040
 and

00:25:45.040 --> 00:25:45.280
 he's

00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:45.500
 calling

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:45.720
 these

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:46.200
 two

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.100
 people

00:25:47.100 --> 00:25:48.200
 to

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:48.420
 come

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:48.560
 and

00:25:48.560 --> 00:25:48.900
 witness

00:25:48.900 --> 00:25:49.200
 against

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:49.660
 Israel

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:51.360
 how

00:25:51.360 --> 00:25:52.019
 wicked

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:53.620
 Israel

00:25:53.620 --> 00:25:55.740
 may have

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:56.080
 been

00:25:56.080 --> 00:25:57.759
 that the

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.220
 prophet

00:25:58.220 --> 00:25:58.820
 has to

00:25:58.820 --> 00:25:59.160
 call

00:25:59.160 --> 00:25:59.960
 two

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:01.000
 barbarians

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:02.259
 horrible

00:26:02.259 --> 00:26:02.720
 and

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.240
 evil

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:04.000
 doers

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:04.580
 nations

00:26:04.580 --> 00:26:05.700
 to come

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:06.320
 and witness

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:07.460
 against

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:08.099
 God

00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:09.819
 holy

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.240
 people

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.500
 God

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:12.859
 the

00:26:12.859 --> 00:26:13.259
 prophet

00:26:13.259 --> 00:26:14.960
 is

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.399
 calling

00:26:15.399 --> 00:26:16.779
 these

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:17.019
 two

00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:17.460
 pagan

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:17.879
 nations

00:26:17.879 --> 00:26:18.539
 to come

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:18.960
 and witness

00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:19.240
 against

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:19.599
 Israel

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:25.279
 can you

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:25.599
 imagine

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:31.359
 if I was

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:32.000
 an Israelite

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.279
 at that

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:32.539
 point

00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:33.439
 that may

00:26:33.439 --> 00:26:33.579
 have

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:33.720
 been

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.039
 shocking

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:35.419
 God

00:26:35.419 --> 00:26:35.779
 is so

00:26:35.779 --> 00:26:36.259
 proud to

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.500
 show

00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:36.700
 an

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:37.339
 unbeliever

00:26:37.339 --> 00:26:38.200
 and say

00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:38.420
 like

00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:38.740
 look

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:40.099
 look how

00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:40.579
 my son

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:40.960
 is not

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.379
 behaving

00:26:41.379 --> 00:26:41.700
 the way

00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:42.099
 he wants

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:43.160
 look how

00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:43.720
 my people

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.099
 are not

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:44.500
 doing what

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:44.859
 I want

00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:45.139
 them to

00:26:45.139 --> 00:26:45.379
 do

00:26:45.379 --> 00:26:45.899
 and you

00:26:45.899 --> 00:26:46.299
 laugh

00:26:46.299 --> 00:26:46.980
 and look

00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:47.399
 at them

00:26:47.399 --> 00:26:48.519
 that is

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:48.839
 kind of

00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:49.119
 the way

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:49.660
 he's

00:26:49.660 --> 00:26:50.000
 picturing

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.200
 it

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:51.339
 it's

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:51.799
 irony

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.799
 and sadness

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.139
 at the

00:26:53.139 --> 00:26:53.579
 same time

00:26:53.579 --> 00:26:55.519
 the scene

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:55.899
 was so

00:26:55.899 --> 00:26:56.319
 evident

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:56.879
 as expressed

00:26:56.879 --> 00:26:58.019
 in verses

00:26:58.019 --> 00:26:58.460
 nine

00:26:58.460 --> 00:26:59.240
 there was

00:26:59.240 --> 00:26:59.700
 oppression

00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:00.619
 see the

00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:01.399
 great unrest

00:27:01.399 --> 00:27:01.940
 within her

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.599
 and the

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:02.980
 oppression

00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:03.440
 among her

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:03.819
 people

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:04.480
 there was

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:05.160
 materialism

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:05.759
 and violence

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.279
 verse 10

00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:07.680
 their fortresses

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.279
 are filled

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:08.920
 with wealth

00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:09.900
 taken by

00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:10.340
 robbery

00:27:10.340 --> 00:27:11.400
 and violence

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:17.300
 even verse 10

00:27:17.300 --> 00:27:18.000
 says they do

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:18.580
 not know

00:27:18.580 --> 00:27:19.120
 how to do

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:19.480
 right

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:20.640
 normal

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:21.160
 proper

00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:21.660
 behavior

00:27:21.660 --> 00:27:22.300
 is so

00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:22.759
 far away

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.220
 from them

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:24.560
 and that

00:27:24.560 --> 00:27:25.180
 leads to a

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:25.460
 gross

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:26.220
 materialism

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:27.300
 and violence

00:27:27.300 --> 00:27:28.600
 defending

00:27:28.600 --> 00:27:29.040
 a wealth

00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:29.580
 and privilege

00:27:29.580 --> 00:27:30.320
 so they

00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:30.759
 are doing

00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:31.660
 everything

00:27:31.660 --> 00:27:32.480
 that God

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:32.940
 has told

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:33.100
 them

00:27:33.100 --> 00:27:33.540
 not to

00:27:33.540 --> 00:27:35.320
 and because

00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:35.660
 of that

00:27:35.660 --> 00:27:36.259
 they must

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:36.580
 be

00:27:36.580 --> 00:27:37.480
 punished

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.000
 all

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.200
 these

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:39.600
 behavior

00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:39.980
 will lead

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:40.440
 to evident

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:41.000
 destruction

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.380
 that therefore

00:27:42.380 --> 00:27:43.060
 here comes

00:27:43.060 --> 00:27:43.820
 very strong

00:27:43.820 --> 00:27:47.460
 in verse

00:27:47.460 --> 00:27:47.779
 11

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.400
 it says

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:55.560
 therefore

00:27:55.560 --> 00:27:56.060
 this is

00:27:56.060 --> 00:27:56.380
 what the

00:27:56.380 --> 00:27:56.759
 sovereign

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.060
 lord

00:27:57.060 --> 00:27:57.500
 says

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.200
 an enemy

00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:58.460
 will

00:27:58.460 --> 00:27:59.019
 overrun

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.360
 you

00:27:59.360 --> 00:28:00.400
 your land

00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:01.460
 pull down

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:02.440
 your strongholds

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:02.940
 and plunder

00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:04.000
 your fortresses

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.140
 it's funny

00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:06.560
 but this

00:28:06.560 --> 00:28:07.180
 the beginning

00:28:07.180 --> 00:28:07.480
 of this

00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:08.000
 verse

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:09.040
 verse 11

00:28:09.040 --> 00:28:09.380
 with the

00:28:09.380 --> 00:28:09.660
 therefore

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:10.480
 it's pretty

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:10.940
 similar

00:28:10.940 --> 00:28:11.960
 to what was

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.340
 happening

00:28:12.340 --> 00:28:12.840
 in chapter

00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:14.500
 28

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:15.580
 when God

00:28:15.580 --> 00:28:16.220
 was describing

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:16.740
 actually

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:17.700
 sorry

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:18.339
 Deuteronomy

00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:19.200
 chapter 28

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:20.220
 when God

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:20.900
 was describing

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:21.940
 what the

00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:22.400
 blessings

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:22.740
 and the

00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:23.039
 curses

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.720
 for obedience

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.460
 or disobedience

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:24.759
 are going to

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.039
 happen

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:26.799
 and this

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:27.400
 verse here

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:27.759
 in chapter

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:28.339
 in verse

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:28.740
 11

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:29.900
 brings to

00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:30.160
 my head

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:30.460
 a lot

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:30.859
 of that

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:47.740
 for the

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.179
 whole chapter

00:28:48.179 --> 00:28:48.899
 of Deuteronomy

00:28:48.899 --> 00:28:49.359
 as I was

00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:49.699
 saying

00:28:49.699 --> 00:28:50.419
 it is

00:28:50.419 --> 00:28:50.679
 about

00:28:50.679 --> 00:28:51.299
 the blessings

00:28:51.299 --> 00:28:53.179
 for disobedience

00:28:53.179 --> 00:28:53.740
 and the curses

00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:53.979
 for

00:28:53.979 --> 00:28:54.839
 the blessings

00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:55.379
 for obedience

00:28:55.379 --> 00:28:55.899
 and the curses

00:28:55.899 --> 00:28:56.639
 for disobedience

00:28:56.639 --> 00:28:57.439
 from verses

00:28:57.439 --> 00:28:58.539
 1 to 14

00:28:58.539 --> 00:28:59.240
 in chapter

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.659
 28

00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:00.120
 I'm just giving

00:29:00.120 --> 00:29:00.480
 you a heads

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:00.860
 up about

00:29:00.860 --> 00:29:01.220
 that

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:02.200
 God

00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:02.920
 is describing

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:03.279
 what a

00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:03.560
 blessing

00:29:03.560 --> 00:29:03.860
 they would

00:29:03.860 --> 00:29:04.040
 get

00:29:04.040 --> 00:29:04.279
 in their

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:04.640
 obedience

00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:05.340
 but

00:29:05.340 --> 00:29:06.080
 in verse

00:29:06.080 --> 00:29:06.620
 15

00:29:06.620 --> 00:29:07.220
 or 28

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:08.279
 he says

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:09.000
 however

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:10.300
 if you are

00:29:10.300 --> 00:29:11.140
 disobedient

00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:11.980
 this is what

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:12.340
 you're going

00:29:12.340 --> 00:29:12.640
 to get

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:13.460
 and it's

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:14.060
 pretty similar

00:29:14.060 --> 00:29:15.000
 with basically

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:15.480
 the pattern

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:15.720
 that is

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:15.940
 happening

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:16.320
 here in

00:29:16.320 --> 00:29:16.600
 Amos

00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:17.420
 I'm pretty

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:17.560
 sure

00:29:17.560 --> 00:29:17.940
 Amos

00:29:17.940 --> 00:29:18.279
 knew

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:18.660
 about

00:29:18.660 --> 00:29:19.880
 chapter

00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:20.420
 28

00:29:20.420 --> 00:29:21.140
 of Deuteronomy

00:29:21.140 --> 00:29:25.800
 the second

00:29:25.800 --> 00:29:25.980
 thing

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.180
 is going

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:26.460
 to happen

00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:26.940
 with them

00:29:26.940 --> 00:29:27.780
 and there

00:29:27.780 --> 00:29:28.360
 comes the

00:29:28.360 --> 00:29:28.600
 therefore

00:29:28.600 --> 00:29:29.200
 as I said

00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:29.820
 so they

00:29:29.820 --> 00:29:30.300
 are showing

00:29:30.300 --> 00:29:30.700
 oppression

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.180
 they are

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.680
 acting in sin

00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:33.480
 and God

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:33.700
 is going

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:33.980
 to come

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.400
 and punish

00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:34.600
 them

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:34.960
 God

00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:35.180
 is going

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:35.400
 to come

00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:35.600
 and do

00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:35.860
 something

00:29:35.860 --> 00:29:36.240
 for them

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.300
 two main

00:29:37.300 --> 00:29:37.520
 things

00:29:37.520 --> 00:29:37.759
 he's going

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.020
 to do

00:29:38.020 --> 00:29:38.520
 the first

00:29:38.520 --> 00:29:38.700
 one

00:29:38.700 --> 00:29:38.880
 they're going

00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:39.320
 to be defeated

00:29:39.320 --> 00:29:39.820
 in battle

00:29:39.820 --> 00:29:40.740
 as verse 11

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.100
 and 12

00:29:41.100 --> 00:29:41.460
 says

00:29:41.460 --> 00:29:42.180
 as I said

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.460
 before

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:42.880
 the Assyrians

00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:43.140
 were going

00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:43.460
 to come

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:43.980
 they're going

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.240
 to come

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:44.620
 and destroy

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:44.880
 them

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.420
 they're going

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:45.680
 to come

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:45.920
 and do

00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:46.340
 something

00:29:46.340 --> 00:29:46.980
 to them

00:29:46.980 --> 00:29:47.560
 they're going

00:29:47.560 --> 00:29:48.040
 to destroy

00:29:48.040 --> 00:29:48.360
 all the

00:29:48.360 --> 00:29:48.700
 greatness

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.019
 that they

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:49.259
 used to

00:29:49.259 --> 00:29:49.600
 have

00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:51.799
 they're going

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.140
 to attack

00:29:52.140 --> 00:29:52.680
 their city

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:53.340
 their cities

00:29:53.340 --> 00:29:53.620
 are going

00:29:53.620 --> 00:29:53.819
 to be

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:54.059
 knocked

00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:54.519
 down

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:55.220
 something

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:55.500
 is going

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:55.840
 to come

00:29:55.840 --> 00:29:56.100
 it's going

00:29:56.100 --> 00:29:56.340
 to come

00:29:56.340 --> 00:29:56.759
 it's going

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.299
 to be bad

00:29:57.299 --> 00:30:04.259
 keep your

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:04.700
 eye in

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:05.340
 verse 11

00:30:05.340 --> 00:30:06.240
 and listen

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.600
 what I'm

00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:06.840
 reading

00:30:06.840 --> 00:30:07.940
 from chapter

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.539
 28

00:30:08.539 --> 00:30:09.259
 verse 52

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:10.019
 of Deuteronomy

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:11.400
 find how

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:11.900
 similar

00:30:11.900 --> 00:30:12.980
 the circumstances

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:13.480
 are here

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:14.259
 he says

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:15.360
 chapter 28

00:30:15.360 --> 00:30:16.660
 verse 52

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:17.180
 but keep

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:17.740
 your eye

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.900
 on Amos

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:19.120
 3

00:30:19.120 --> 00:30:19.559
 11

00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:20.420
 and listen

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:20.859
 to this

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:22.140
 they will

00:30:22.140 --> 00:30:22.640
 attack

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:23.420
 your cities

00:30:23.420 --> 00:30:24.620
 until all

00:30:24.620 --> 00:30:25.380
 the fortified

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:25.900
 walls in

00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:26.460
 your land

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:27.440
 the walls

00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:27.980
 you trusted

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:28.559
 to protect

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:28.900
 you

00:30:28.900 --> 00:30:30.359
 are knocked

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:30.740
 down

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:31.819
 they will

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:32.460
 attack

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:33.079
 all the

00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:33.480
 towns

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:33.819
 in the

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:34.120
 land

00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:35.200
 the Lord

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:35.680
 your God

00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:36.160
 has given

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:36.579
 you

00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:39.759
 that was

00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.759
 from Deuteronomy

00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:41.620
 chapter 28

00:30:41.620 --> 00:30:43.500
 what is

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:43.980
 what is

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:44.299
 Amos

00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:44.720
 telling them

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:44.980
 in chapter

00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:45.359
 11

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.059
 precisely

00:30:47.059 --> 00:30:47.640
 that

00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:48.820
 what he

00:30:48.820 --> 00:30:49.380
 was told

00:30:49.380 --> 00:30:49.759
 if you

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.460
 are disobedient

00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:51.500
 that's

00:30:51.500 --> 00:30:51.800
 going to

00:30:51.800 --> 00:30:52.200
 happen

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:53.080
 Amos

00:30:53.080 --> 00:30:53.680
 chapter 3

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:54.040
 is telling

00:30:54.040 --> 00:30:54.220
 them

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:54.980
 this

00:30:54.980 --> 00:30:55.259
 is

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:55.520
 actually

00:30:55.520 --> 00:30:55.920
 happening

00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:56.780
 this

00:30:56.780 --> 00:30:56.940
 will

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:57.360
 happen

00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:05.119
 the

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:05.279
 other

00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:05.500
 thing

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:05.659
 for

00:31:05.659 --> 00:31:05.879
 then

00:31:05.879 --> 00:31:06.000
 is

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.199
 going to

00:31:06.199 --> 00:31:06.419
 be

00:31:06.419 --> 00:31:07.199
 they

00:31:07.199 --> 00:31:07.339
 will

00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:07.559
 only

00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:07.719
 be

00:31:07.719 --> 00:31:08.039
 defeated

00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:08.240
 in

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:08.579
 battle

00:31:08.579 --> 00:31:09.799
 but

00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:09.959
 there

00:31:09.959 --> 00:31:10.099
 will

00:31:10.099 --> 00:31:10.599
 also

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.899
 the

00:31:11.899 --> 00:31:12.259
 places

00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:12.619
 where they

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:12.899
 take

00:31:12.899 --> 00:31:13.339
 false

00:31:13.339 --> 00:31:13.859
 refugees

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.399
 the

00:31:14.399 --> 00:31:14.779
 places

00:31:14.779 --> 00:31:15.159
 where they

00:31:15.159 --> 00:31:15.339
 take

00:31:15.339 --> 00:31:15.799
 false

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:16.279
 worship

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:16.779
 the

00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:17.059
 places

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:17.359
 where they

00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:17.559
 take

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:18.019
 false

00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:19.159
 security

00:31:19.159 --> 00:31:19.979
 is

00:31:19.979 --> 00:31:20.139
 going to

00:31:20.139 --> 00:31:20.240
 be

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.699
 destroyed

00:31:20.699 --> 00:31:22.319
 verses

00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:22.859
 13

00:31:22.859 --> 00:31:23.279
 to 15

00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:23.740
 describes

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:24.099
 the altar

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:24.519
 of battle

00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:25.339
 the altar

00:31:25.339 --> 00:31:25.700
 of battle

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:26.339
 was made

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:26.519
 by

00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:26.879
 Jerobo

00:31:26.879 --> 00:31:27.059
 on the

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:27.400
 first

00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:28.200
 it was

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:30.079
 actually made

00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:30.379
 from a

00:31:30.379 --> 00:31:30.579
 golden

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:30.920
 calf

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.720
 and the

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.039
 purpose

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.440
 was

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:33.379
 Israel

00:31:33.379 --> 00:31:33.879
 didn't want

00:31:33.879 --> 00:31:34.099
 to go

00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:34.480
 and worship

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:34.980
 in Jerusalem

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:35.519
 anymore

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:36.039
 because they

00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:36.519
 were split

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.559
 so Israel

00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:38.039
 decided

00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:38.680
 we don't

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.079
 want to go

00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:39.299
 there

00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:39.639
 anymore

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:40.639
 so Jerobo

00:31:40.639 --> 00:31:41.240
 on the

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.480
 first

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:41.799
 said

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.359
 I don't

00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:42.559
 want to

00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:42.900
 go there

00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:43.240
 anymore

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:43.920
 so I'm

00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:44.180
 going to

00:31:44.180 --> 00:31:44.599
 create

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:45.019
 something

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.379
 here

00:31:45.379 --> 00:31:45.779
 I'm

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:46.000
 going to

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.379
 lift

00:31:46.379 --> 00:31:46.660
 it up

00:31:46.660 --> 00:31:47.099
 an altar

00:31:47.099 --> 00:31:47.839
 and we're

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:48.000
 going to

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:48.259
 put a

00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:48.519
 golden

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:48.819
 calf

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.139
 here

00:31:49.139 --> 00:31:49.720
 and this

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:49.839
 is going

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:49.980
 to be

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.339
 the altar

00:31:50.339 --> 00:31:51.599
 and people

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:51.859
 are going

00:31:51.859 --> 00:31:52.159
 to come

00:31:52.159 --> 00:31:52.419
 here

00:31:52.419 --> 00:31:52.919
 and worship

00:31:52.919 --> 00:31:53.539
 because we

00:31:53.539 --> 00:31:54.000
 don't want

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:54.240
 to go

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.500
 to the

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:54.679
 place

00:31:54.679 --> 00:31:54.959
 where God

00:31:54.959 --> 00:31:55.259
 told us

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:55.559
 to go

00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:56.839
 which place

00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:57.240
 was that

00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:57.919
 Jerusalem

00:31:57.919 --> 00:31:58.659
 we don't

00:31:58.659 --> 00:31:58.899
 want to

00:31:58.899 --> 00:31:59.259
 go there

00:31:59.259 --> 00:31:59.679
 anymore

00:31:59.679 --> 00:32:00.240
 we want

00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:00.459
 to be

00:32:00.459 --> 00:32:00.799
 here

00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:01.899
 and they

00:32:01.899 --> 00:32:02.199
 decided

00:32:02.199 --> 00:32:02.500
 to do

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:02.740
 that

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:03.399
 that was

00:32:03.399 --> 00:32:03.740
 not a

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:04.119
 godly

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:04.399
 sin

00:32:04.399 --> 00:32:05.339
 that was

00:32:05.339 --> 00:32:05.759
 something

00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:06.279
 full of

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:06.859
 idolatry

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:08.099
 that was

00:32:08.099 --> 00:32:08.379
 something

00:32:08.379 --> 00:32:11.119
 full of

00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:12.059
 selfishness

00:32:12.059 --> 00:32:12.980
 and trying

00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:13.359
 to do

00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:13.679
 something

00:32:13.679 --> 00:32:13.980
 against

00:32:13.980 --> 00:32:14.419
 God

00:32:14.419 --> 00:32:15.799
 the other

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:16.039
 thing

00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:16.319
 that is

00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:16.759
 actually

00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:21.680
 verse 14

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.079
 is telling

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.359
 us

00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:22.799
 that the

00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:23.039
 horns

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:23.319
 on the

00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:23.579
 altar

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:23.920
 will be

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:24.379
 cut off

00:32:24.379 --> 00:32:25.140
 something

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:25.319
 would

00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:25.619
 happen

00:32:25.619 --> 00:32:25.900
 in that

00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:26.220
 time

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:26.579
 in that

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:27.019
 altar

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:28.019
 and somebody

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.660
 was looking

00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:29.379
 for refuge

00:32:29.379 --> 00:32:30.259
 and somebody

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:30.700
 was running

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:31.160
 away from

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:31.660
 something

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:32.480
 whenever they

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:32.839
 would get

00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:33.819
 to the

00:32:33.819 --> 00:32:34.039
 altar

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.200
 they would

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:35.619
 find the

00:32:35.619 --> 00:32:36.000
 horns

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.119
 if they

00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:37.500
 would put

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:37.879
 their hands

00:32:37.879 --> 00:32:38.119
 on the

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:38.440
 horns

00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:39.240
 nobody

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:39.599
 could

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:39.900
 touch

00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:40.200
 them

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:41.379
 they would

00:32:41.379 --> 00:32:41.759
 be able

00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:42.200
 to take

00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:42.619
 refuge

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:43.119
 in them

00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:44.059
 but here

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:44.440
 the prophet

00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:44.940
 is saying

00:32:44.940 --> 00:32:46.319
 that place

00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:47.000
 where you

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.480
 take

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:48.399
 forced

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:49.059
 refuge

00:32:49.059 --> 00:32:50.679
 that place

00:32:50.679 --> 00:32:51.599
 is saying

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.240
 it's going

00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:53.399
 to be

00:32:53.399 --> 00:32:53.879
 cut off

00:32:53.879 --> 00:32:56.039
 even the

00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:56.359
 places

00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:56.659
 where you

00:32:56.659 --> 00:32:57.039
 worship

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:58.579
 even the

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:58.819
 places

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:59.079
 where you

00:32:59.079 --> 00:32:59.319
 take

00:32:59.319 --> 00:32:59.919
 refuge

00:32:59.919 --> 00:33:01.339
 will be

00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:01.879
 cut off

00:33:01.879 --> 00:33:03.679
 why

00:33:03.679 --> 00:33:05.119
 because of

00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:05.259
 your

00:33:05.259 --> 00:33:05.980
 disobedience

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:07.299
 because you

00:33:07.299 --> 00:33:07.879
 have forgotten

00:33:07.879 --> 00:33:08.480
 who I am

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:12.240
 I can

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:12.539
 really

00:33:12.539 --> 00:33:13.519
 understand

00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:14.059
 how

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:17.879
 Israel

00:33:17.879 --> 00:33:18.119
 could

00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:18.659
 forgotten

00:33:18.659 --> 00:33:20.019
 something like

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:20.480
 what David

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:20.980
 would say

00:33:20.980 --> 00:33:22.139
 remember

00:33:22.139 --> 00:33:22.659
 what David

00:33:22.659 --> 00:33:23.259
 said in

00:33:23.259 --> 00:33:24.700
 Psalm

00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:25.779
 91

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:26.559
 verse 2

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:27.579
 it's a very

00:33:27.579 --> 00:33:28.240
 famous psalm

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.539
 you might

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:29.079
 remember it

00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:29.700
 he says

00:33:29.700 --> 00:33:30.079
 I will

00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:30.519
 save

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:30.899
 of the

00:33:30.899 --> 00:33:31.220
 Lord

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:32.519
 you remember

00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:33.779
 he is

00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:34.700
 my refuge

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:39.259
 my fortress

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:40.579
 my God

00:33:40.579 --> 00:33:41.559
 would I

00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:42.019
 trust

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:43.740
 but Israel

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:45.660
 was seeking

00:33:45.660 --> 00:33:46.039
 refuge

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:46.319
 in the

00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:46.720
 altar

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:48.220
 seeking

00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:48.980
 refuge

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:49.579
 something

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:50.079
 else

00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:51.359
 do not

00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:51.720
 allow

00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:52.240
 yourself

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:53.579
 to take

00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:54.120
 refuge

00:33:54.120 --> 00:33:55.519
 in something

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:55.839
 else

00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:56.140
 different

00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:56.700
 than God

00:33:56.700 --> 00:33:58.440
 like David

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:58.839
 did

00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:00.000
 God

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.319
 is my

00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:00.900
 refuge

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:02.259
 for Israel

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:02.980
 God was

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:03.319
 not

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:04.380
 and he

00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:04.759
 had to

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:05.180
 punish them

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:05.519
 for that

00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.900
 the last

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:07.160
 thing it

00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:07.620
 says that

00:34:07.620 --> 00:34:08.380
 he actually

00:34:08.380 --> 00:34:08.800
 has to

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.360
 destroy

00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:11.739
 the houses

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:12.599
 the winter

00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:12.939
 houses

00:34:12.939 --> 00:34:13.379
 and summer

00:34:13.379 --> 00:34:13.859
 houses

00:34:13.859 --> 00:34:16.399
 that has

00:34:16.399 --> 00:34:16.659
 to do

00:34:16.659 --> 00:34:16.939
 a lot

00:34:16.939 --> 00:34:17.099
 with

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:17.459
 possession

00:34:17.459 --> 00:34:18.079
 and luxury

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:19.459
 those places

00:34:19.459 --> 00:34:19.859
 were only

00:34:19.859 --> 00:34:20.219
 affordable

00:34:20.219 --> 00:34:20.939
 by kings

00:34:20.939 --> 00:34:21.759
 and they

00:34:21.759 --> 00:34:22.119
 have to be

00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:22.719
 very wealthy

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:23.379
 to do that

00:34:23.379 --> 00:34:24.579
 these houses

00:34:24.579 --> 00:34:25.479
 will fail to

00:34:25.479 --> 00:34:26.159
 protect them

00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:27.359
 against God

00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:28.380
 the opening

00:34:28.380 --> 00:34:28.660
 living

00:34:28.660 --> 00:34:29.120
 in Israel

00:34:29.120 --> 00:34:29.680
 has caused

00:34:29.680 --> 00:34:30.120
 a terrible

00:34:30.120 --> 00:34:30.620
 state

00:34:30.620 --> 00:34:31.360
 they have

00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:31.640
 become

00:34:31.640 --> 00:34:32.180
 abusive

00:34:32.180 --> 00:34:33.440
 and the

00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:33.680
 rich

00:34:33.680 --> 00:34:33.860
 had

00:34:33.860 --> 00:34:34.260
 plunder

00:34:34.260 --> 00:34:36.960
 and looted

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.460
 the poor

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:38.420
 in prosperity

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:38.860
 they have

00:34:38.860 --> 00:34:39.300
 forgotten

00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:39.740
 God

00:34:39.740 --> 00:34:40.500
 remember

00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:41.620
 when Amos

00:34:41.620 --> 00:34:42.300
 was speaking

00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:43.680
 although he's

00:34:43.680 --> 00:34:44.099
 speaking about

00:34:44.099 --> 00:34:44.579
 judgment

00:34:44.579 --> 00:34:45.460
 the judgment

00:34:45.460 --> 00:34:45.900
 is not

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:46.480
 there yet

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:47.079
 so they

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.559
 are still

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:48.180
 a rich

00:34:48.180 --> 00:34:48.640
 nation

00:34:48.640 --> 00:34:49.400
 they are still

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:50.059
 prospering

00:34:50.059 --> 00:34:50.760
 they are still

00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:51.420
 doing good

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:52.380
 and in all

00:34:52.380 --> 00:34:53.120
 this opulency

00:34:53.120 --> 00:34:53.920
 and all this

00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:54.480
 greatness

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:55.280
 they are having

00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:56.200
 they are

00:34:56.200 --> 00:34:56.500
 forgotten

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:57.079
 about God

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:58.760
 and he's

00:34:58.760 --> 00:34:59.340
 coming to say

00:34:59.340 --> 00:35:00.220
 all those places

00:35:00.220 --> 00:35:00.539
 where you

00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:01.300
 actually go

00:35:01.300 --> 00:35:01.760
 and enjoy

00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:02.120
 your

00:35:02.120 --> 00:35:03.220
 you give a

00:35:03.220 --> 00:35:03.760
 good life

00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:04.320
 are going to

00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:04.840
 be cut off

00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:05.099
 are going to

00:35:05.099 --> 00:35:05.700
 be destroyed

00:35:05.700 --> 00:35:07.120
 all of those

00:35:07.120 --> 00:35:07.480
 places

00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:08.599
 they will be

00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:09.059
 destroyed

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:11.300
 those places

00:35:11.300 --> 00:35:11.940
 won't protect

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:12.240
 you

00:35:12.240 --> 00:35:13.539
 this brings

00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:13.940
 to my head

00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:14.360
 as well

00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:15.420
 what the

00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:15.740
 wise

00:35:15.740 --> 00:35:16.360
 the wise

00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:16.740
 Solomon

00:35:16.740 --> 00:35:17.260
 would say

00:35:17.260 --> 00:35:17.760
 at some

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:18.079
 point

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:18.840
 in chapter

00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:19.480
 30

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:20.460
 of Proverbs

00:35:20.460 --> 00:35:21.380
 he would say

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:22.079
 something like

00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:23.900
 Lord give me

00:35:23.900 --> 00:35:24.640
 nor poverty

00:35:24.640 --> 00:35:26.240
 neither riches

00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:28.079
 feed me with

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:28.459
 the food

00:35:28.459 --> 00:35:28.779
 that is

00:35:28.779 --> 00:35:29.219
 needful

00:35:29.219 --> 00:35:29.699
 for me

00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:30.779
 lest I

00:35:30.779 --> 00:35:31.239
 be full

00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:31.719
 and deny

00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:32.039
 you

00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:33.159
 and say

00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:33.479
 who is

00:35:33.479 --> 00:35:33.899
 the Lord

00:35:33.899 --> 00:35:34.799
 or lest

00:35:34.799 --> 00:35:35.239
 I be

00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.699
 lest I

00:35:37.699 --> 00:35:38.079
 be rich

00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:38.419
 and deny

00:35:38.419 --> 00:35:38.519
 you

00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:38.699
 and say

00:35:38.699 --> 00:35:38.979
 who is

00:35:38.979 --> 00:35:39.339
 the Lord

00:35:39.339 --> 00:35:39.799
 or lest

00:35:39.799 --> 00:35:40.339
 I be poor

00:35:40.339 --> 00:35:41.019
 and still

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:42.799
 and profane

00:35:42.799 --> 00:35:43.099
 the name

00:35:43.099 --> 00:35:43.599
 of the Lord

00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.019
 and prosperity

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:46.359
 they have

00:35:46.359 --> 00:35:46.739
 forgotten

00:35:46.739 --> 00:35:47.359
 about God

00:35:47.359 --> 00:35:48.559
 there are

00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:49.019
 so many

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:49.459
 things to

00:35:49.459 --> 00:35:49.739
 say

00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:50.299
 that they

00:35:50.299 --> 00:35:50.659
 would actually

00:35:50.659 --> 00:35:51.239
 do and run

00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:52.719
 and I know

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:53.019
 probably

00:35:53.019 --> 00:35:53.959
 at this point

00:35:53.959 --> 00:35:54.319
 you are already

00:35:54.319 --> 00:35:54.699
 depressed

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:55.199
 because either

00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:55.759
 you didn't

00:35:55.759 --> 00:35:56.359
 get my accent

00:35:56.359 --> 00:35:56.939
 or you didn't

00:35:56.939 --> 00:35:57.279
 get what I'm

00:35:57.279 --> 00:35:57.579
 saying

00:35:57.579 --> 00:35:58.139
 or what I'm

00:35:58.139 --> 00:35:58.459
 saying is

00:35:58.459 --> 00:35:58.779
 horrible

00:35:58.779 --> 00:35:59.059
 that you

00:35:59.059 --> 00:35:59.279
 don't want

00:35:59.279 --> 00:35:59.519
 to listen

00:35:59.519 --> 00:35:59.939
 anymore

00:35:59.939 --> 00:36:01.779
 and generally

00:36:01.779 --> 00:36:02.319
 chapter 3

00:36:02.319 --> 00:36:02.599
 is very

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:03.019
 difficult

00:36:03.019 --> 00:36:03.659
 and

00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:05.199
 this is a

00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:06.199
 very complicated

00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:06.559
 chapter

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.439
 but

00:36:08.439 --> 00:36:10.819
 this is perhaps

00:36:10.819 --> 00:36:11.159
 what I'm going

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:11.559
 to finish

00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:16.139
 I can't

00:36:16.139 --> 00:36:16.479
 preach

00:36:16.479 --> 00:36:17.639
 a sermon

00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:18.159
 on judgment

00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:18.419
 but

00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:22.519
 we're not

00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:23.059
 talking about

00:36:23.059 --> 00:36:23.539
 salvation

00:36:23.539 --> 00:36:26.079
 because the

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.759
 same God

00:36:26.759 --> 00:36:27.139
 who is

00:36:27.139 --> 00:36:27.500
 offering

00:36:27.500 --> 00:36:28.019
 judgment

00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:28.699
 to Israel

00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:29.839
 at this

00:36:29.839 --> 00:36:30.079
 point

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:30.459
 through the

00:36:30.459 --> 00:36:30.719
 prophet

00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.419
 is crying

00:36:32.419 --> 00:36:33.039
 out saying

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:33.279
 but

00:36:33.279 --> 00:36:34.559
 you come

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:35.099
 to me

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:36.559
 I will

00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:37.299
 save you

00:36:37.299 --> 00:36:40.079
 you come

00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:40.579
 to me

00:36:40.579 --> 00:36:42.479
 I will

00:36:42.479 --> 00:36:43.579
 rescue you

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:45.599
 but Israel

00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:46.099
 wouldn't do

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:46.439
 that

00:36:46.439 --> 00:36:48.479
 verse 12

00:36:48.479 --> 00:36:48.979
 gives us a

00:36:48.979 --> 00:36:49.479
 glance

00:36:49.479 --> 00:36:50.379
 of what

00:36:50.379 --> 00:36:50.719
 this is

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:50.939
 going to

00:36:50.940 --> 00:36:51.280
 happen

00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:55.200
 there is

00:36:55.200 --> 00:36:55.519
 hope

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:56.360
 it says

00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:56.720
 that a few

00:36:56.720 --> 00:36:57.300
 fragments

00:36:57.300 --> 00:36:57.659
 of the

00:36:57.659 --> 00:36:57.940
 land

00:36:57.940 --> 00:36:58.579
 rescued

00:36:58.579 --> 00:36:58.960
 from the

00:36:58.960 --> 00:36:59.159
 mouth

00:36:59.159 --> 00:36:59.440
 of the

00:36:59.440 --> 00:36:59.760
 lion

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:00.539
 meant

00:37:00.539 --> 00:37:00.840
 that a

00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:01.159
 tiny

00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:01.700
 remnant

00:37:01.700 --> 00:37:02.960
 of Israel

00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:03.780
 which will

00:37:03.780 --> 00:37:04.220
 survive

00:37:04.220 --> 00:37:04.400
 the

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:04.800
 judgment

00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:14.300
 even

00:37:14.300 --> 00:37:14.539
 when

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:14.679
 the

00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:14.980
 Syrians

00:37:14.980 --> 00:37:15.400
 came

00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.380
 they

00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:16.659
 took

00:37:16.659 --> 00:37:16.860
 to

00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:17.240
 destroy

00:37:17.240 --> 00:37:17.780
 everything

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:18.659
 they took

00:37:18.659 --> 00:37:19.059
 the people

00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:19.760
 into exile

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:21.040
 and we

00:37:21.040 --> 00:37:21.280
 know

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:21.980
 later on

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:22.560
 by reading

00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:23.040
 the Bible

00:37:23.040 --> 00:37:24.440
 that there

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:24.800
 was a

00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:25.100
 remnant

00:37:25.100 --> 00:37:27.020
 who was able

00:37:27.020 --> 00:37:27.360
 to come

00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:27.680
 back

00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:28.980
 and from

00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:29.700
 that remnant

00:37:29.700 --> 00:37:30.980
 like nearly

00:37:30.980 --> 00:37:32.020
 700 years

00:37:32.020 --> 00:37:32.540
 later

00:37:32.540 --> 00:37:34.600
 a virgin

00:37:34.600 --> 00:37:36.480
 was found

00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:36.860
 pregnant

00:37:36.860 --> 00:37:39.360
 God

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:39.380
 God

00:37:39.380 --> 00:37:39.400
 God

00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:39.920
 himself

00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:41.579
 decided to

00:37:41.579 --> 00:37:41.920
 come to

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.360
 this world

00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:43.500
 from that

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:43.860
 remnant

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:45.680
 only God

00:37:45.680 --> 00:37:46.039
 would have

00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:47.079
 chosen to

00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:48.099
 save

00:37:48.099 --> 00:37:49.840
 or do

00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:50.420
 something with

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:50.940
 people who are

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:51.220
 worthless

00:37:51.220 --> 00:37:52.280
 like the

00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:52.700
 Israelites

00:37:52.700 --> 00:37:54.700
 that's what he

00:37:54.700 --> 00:37:55.300
 did that day

00:37:55.300 --> 00:37:59.380
 and from that

00:37:59.380 --> 00:37:59.920
 scene

00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:00.960
 from that

00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:01.480
 remnant

00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:03.660
 he brought

00:38:03.660 --> 00:38:04.059
 Jesus

00:38:04.059 --> 00:38:04.320
 us

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.920
 like 700

00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:06.340
 years

00:38:06.340 --> 00:38:06.659
 later

00:38:06.659 --> 00:38:10.519
 and he

00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:10.880
 lived a

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:11.079
 perfect

00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:11.460
 life

00:38:11.460 --> 00:38:13.159
 we all

00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:13.380
 know

00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:15.920
 he

00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:16.239
 showed us

00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:16.559
 the way

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:17.360
 we all

00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:17.619
 know

00:38:17.619 --> 00:38:18.699
 and he

00:38:18.699 --> 00:38:19.079
 went to

00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:19.539
 a cross

00:38:19.539 --> 00:38:20.480
 we all

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:20.699
 know

00:38:20.699 --> 00:38:22.480
 and he

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:22.860
 died for

00:38:22.860 --> 00:38:23.400
 our sins

00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:24.460
 we all

00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:24.779
 know

00:38:24.779 --> 00:38:26.539
 even

00:38:26.539 --> 00:38:27.340
 God

00:38:27.340 --> 00:38:28.279
 when he

00:38:28.279 --> 00:38:28.759
 was judged

00:38:28.759 --> 00:38:29.420
 in Israel

00:38:29.420 --> 00:38:36.740
 he

00:38:36.740 --> 00:38:37.220
 decided to

00:38:37.220 --> 00:38:37.440
 save

00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:37.639
 them

00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:39.240
 and held

00:38:39.240 --> 00:38:39.659
 them to

00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:40.159
 a small

00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:40.480
 remnant

00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:40.780
 to come

00:38:40.780 --> 00:38:41.079
 back

00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:42.500
 that kind

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:42.920
 of goodness

00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:43.940
 doesn't

00:38:43.940 --> 00:38:44.380
 happen very

00:38:44.380 --> 00:38:44.639
 often

00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:45.400
 does it

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.539
 precisely

00:38:47.539 --> 00:38:48.180
 it does

00:38:48.180 --> 00:38:49.500
 because the

00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:50.139
 Bible says

00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:50.700
 that God

00:38:50.700 --> 00:38:51.180
 himself

00:38:51.180 --> 00:38:52.820
 when we

00:38:52.820 --> 00:38:52.980
 were

00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:53.380
 worthless

00:38:53.380 --> 00:38:55.000
 when we

00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:55.619
 were full

00:38:55.619 --> 00:38:56.099
 of sin

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:59.279
 as Romans

00:38:59.279 --> 00:39:00.659
 5a

00:39:00.659 --> 00:39:01.039
 says

00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:01.940
 but God

00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:02.460
 demonstrates

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:02.860
 his own

00:39:02.860 --> 00:39:03.339
 love for

00:39:03.339 --> 00:39:03.679
 us

00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:04.279
 in this

00:39:04.279 --> 00:39:05.179
 while we

00:39:05.179 --> 00:39:05.679
 were still

00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:06.179
 sinners

00:39:06.179 --> 00:39:07.460
 Christ

00:39:07.460 --> 00:39:08.039
 died for

00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:08.599
 our sins

00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:09.920
 Israel

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.299
 wasn't

00:39:11.299 --> 00:39:11.639
 worth

00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:11.980
 to be

00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:12.239
 saved

00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:13.159
 they didn't

00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:14.139
 have any

00:39:14.139 --> 00:39:14.420
 reasons

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:14.719
 to be

00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:14.900
 saved

00:39:14.900 --> 00:39:15.259
 but even

00:39:15.259 --> 00:39:15.539
 though

00:39:15.539 --> 00:39:16.179
 God

00:39:16.179 --> 00:39:16.440
 is going

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:16.639
 to do

00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:16.880
 something

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:17.360
 for them

00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:17.880
 God

00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:18.319
 has shown

00:39:18.319 --> 00:39:18.659
 mercy

00:39:18.659 --> 00:39:19.159
 to them

00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:19.940
 and there

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:20.079
 was

00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.420
 remnant

00:39:20.420 --> 00:39:20.619
 who

00:39:20.619 --> 00:39:20.900
 still

00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:21.319
 stand

00:39:21.319 --> 00:39:22.279
 you all

00:39:22.279 --> 00:39:22.460
 know

00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:22.719
 what's

00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:22.980
 happening

00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:23.699
 in Israel

00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:24.699
 nowadays

00:39:24.699 --> 00:39:26.599
 but at

00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:26.859
 the same

00:39:26.859 --> 00:39:27.239
 time

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:28.119
 the same

00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:28.599
 God

00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.219
 decided to

00:39:30.219 --> 00:39:30.659
 show the

00:39:30.659 --> 00:39:30.859
 same

00:39:30.859 --> 00:39:31.279
 mercy

00:39:31.279 --> 00:39:31.939
 to us

00:39:31.939 --> 00:39:32.799
 God

00:39:32.799 --> 00:39:33.039
 at the

00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:33.179
 same

00:39:33.179 --> 00:39:33.399
 time

00:39:33.399 --> 00:39:33.819
 is offering

00:39:33.819 --> 00:39:34.259
 judgment

00:39:34.259 --> 00:39:35.319
 and is

00:39:35.319 --> 00:39:35.539
 offering

00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:35.980
 salvation

00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:36.500
 for us

00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:37.699
 judgment

00:39:37.699 --> 00:39:38.000
 if we

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:38.399
 don't take

00:39:38.399 --> 00:39:38.779
 Christ

00:39:38.779 --> 00:39:39.839
 salvation

00:39:39.839 --> 00:39:40.279
 we do

00:39:40.279 --> 00:39:41.980
 but it's

00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:42.559
 only trusting

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.000
 in him

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.879
 that could

00:39:45.879 --> 00:39:46.339
 make us

00:39:46.339 --> 00:39:49.799
 not run

00:39:49.799 --> 00:39:50.199
 away from

00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:50.659
 salvation

00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:51.699
 or from

00:39:51.699 --> 00:39:52.179
 judgment

00:39:52.179 --> 00:39:54.319
 but Christ

00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:54.800
 takes the

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:55.140
 judgment

00:39:55.140 --> 00:39:56.059
 that he

00:39:56.059 --> 00:39:56.400
 deserves

00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:56.940
 for us

00:39:56.940 --> 00:39:58.300
 and we

00:39:58.300 --> 00:39:58.600
 get

00:39:58.600 --> 00:40:00.240
 what we

00:40:00.240 --> 00:40:00.420
 don't

00:40:00.420 --> 00:40:00.740
 deserve

00:40:00.740 --> 00:40:02.800
 that was

00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:03.200
 being the

00:40:03.200 --> 00:40:03.600
 most

00:40:03.600 --> 00:40:04.260
 difficult

00:40:04.260 --> 00:40:05.120
 and complicated

00:40:05.120 --> 00:40:05.800
 Amos 3

00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:06.240
 you can

00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:06.940
 ever listen

00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:08.220
 you can

00:40:08.220 --> 00:40:08.660
 ever hear

00:40:08.660 --> 00:40:09.760
 but

00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:13.500
 I promise

00:40:13.500 --> 00:40:13.840
 it will get

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:14.120
 better

00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:15.400
 somebody

00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:15.900
 better is

00:40:15.900 --> 00:40:16.039
 going to

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:16.260
 come to

00:40:16.260 --> 00:40:16.620
 speak next

00:40:16.620 --> 00:40:16.860
 week

00:40:16.860 --> 00:40:18.080
 but at

00:40:18.080 --> 00:40:18.360
 the same

00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:18.600
 time

00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:19.019
 the message

00:40:19.019 --> 00:40:19.600
 gets better

00:40:19.600 --> 00:40:20.860
 and eventually

00:40:20.860 --> 00:40:21.660
 by chapter 9

00:40:21.660 --> 00:40:22.140
 Amos

00:40:22.140 --> 00:40:23.480
 you'll all

00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:24.019
 be excited

00:40:24.019 --> 00:40:24.800
 you'll be

00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:25.320
 like yes

00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:26.259
 that's what

00:40:26.259 --> 00:40:26.659
 we're waiting

00:40:26.659 --> 00:40:27.239
 for

00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:29.920
 let's pray

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:41.860
 Father we

00:40:41.860 --> 00:40:42.199
 thank you

00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:42.480
 that

00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:44.679
 your judgment

00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:45.119
 is fair

00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.259
 it was fair

00:40:47.259 --> 00:40:47.759
 for Israel

00:40:47.759 --> 00:40:50.159
 and it's fair

00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:50.579
 for us

00:40:50.579 --> 00:40:50.900
 as well

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:56.840
 but we

00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:57.299
 thank you

00:40:57.299 --> 00:40:57.579
 that

00:40:57.579 --> 00:40:58.699
 the judgment

00:40:58.699 --> 00:40:59.199
 for Israel

00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:00.059
 was inevitable

00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:01.279
 but they

00:41:01.279 --> 00:41:01.699
 were still

00:41:01.699 --> 00:41:02.599
 given a chance

00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:03.059
 to repent

00:41:03.059 --> 00:41:04.340
 they wouldn't

00:41:04.340 --> 00:41:04.679
 listen

00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:06.960
 help us

00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.400
 not to be

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:08.000
 like them

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:14.719
 help us

00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:15.139
 to listen

00:41:15.139 --> 00:41:15.500
 what the

00:41:15.500 --> 00:41:16.159
 Bible says

00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:17.259
 not to

00:41:17.259 --> 00:41:17.719
 ignore it

00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:18.819
 when the

00:41:18.819 --> 00:41:19.399
 lion's

00:41:19.399 --> 00:41:19.679
 floor

00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:20.679
 is roaring

00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:21.739
 help us

00:41:21.739 --> 00:41:22.019
 to come

00:41:22.019 --> 00:41:22.500
 close to

00:41:22.500 --> 00:41:22.739
 him

00:41:22.739 --> 00:41:24.279
 rather than

00:41:24.279 --> 00:41:24.699
 run away

00:41:24.699 --> 00:41:25.940
 from him

00:41:25.940 --> 00:41:29.019
 Father we

00:41:29.019 --> 00:41:29.420
 thank you

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:29.739
 because you

00:41:29.739 --> 00:41:30.099
 are a God

00:41:30.099 --> 00:41:30.619
 who cares

00:41:30.619 --> 00:41:32.059
 and you

00:41:32.059 --> 00:41:32.659
 are a God

00:41:32.659 --> 00:41:33.039
 who has

00:41:33.039 --> 00:41:33.799
 chosen your

00:41:33.799 --> 00:41:34.179
 people

00:41:34.179 --> 00:41:35.440
 even from

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:35.920
 the foundation

00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:36.399
 of the world

00:41:36.399 --> 00:41:38.559
 and you

00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:39.119
 sent Jesus

00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:40.440
 for us

00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:42.579
 to take the

00:41:42.579 --> 00:41:42.940
 judgment

00:41:42.940 --> 00:41:43.820
 that we

00:41:43.820 --> 00:41:44.200
 desire

00:41:44.200 --> 00:41:45.740
 and if we

00:41:45.740 --> 00:41:46.380
 only trust

00:41:46.380 --> 00:41:46.760
 in him

00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:49.380
 he gave us

00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:50.019
 this salvation

00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:51.360
 and keep us

00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:51.740
 away from

00:41:51.740 --> 00:41:51.940
 that

00:41:51.940 --> 00:41:54.559
 Father Amos

00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:55.039
 3 is very

00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:55.599
 complicated

00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:57.460
 maybe I made

00:41:57.460 --> 00:41:57.720
 it more

00:41:57.720 --> 00:41:58.320
 complicated

00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:02.099
 but we are

00:42:02.099 --> 00:42:02.740
 so thankful

00:42:02.740 --> 00:42:03.440
 that even

00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:05.559
 after Amos

00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:06.159
 one day

00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:06.659
 you sent

00:42:06.659 --> 00:42:06.980
 Jesus

00:42:06.980 --> 00:42:08.340
 and he

00:42:08.340 --> 00:42:08.920
 saved us

00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:09.820
 when we

00:42:09.820 --> 00:42:10.260
 trusted in

00:42:10.260 --> 00:42:10.480
 him

00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:11.920
 in the name

00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:12.119
 of your

00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:12.460
 son I

00:42:12.460 --> 00:42:12.739
 thank you

00:42:12.739 --> 00:42:13.059
 for this

00:42:13.059 --> 00:42:13.319
 time

00:42:13.319 --> 00:42:13.920
 I pray

00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:14.199
 for my

00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:14.579
 brothers and

00:42:14.579 --> 00:42:14.859
 sisters

00:42:14.859 --> 00:42:15.239
 here

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:16.000
 to learn

00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:16.619
 from Amos

00:42:16.619 --> 00:42:17.239
 chapter 3

00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:18.239
 to be a

00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:18.819
 good witness

00:42:18.819 --> 00:42:19.699
 among pagan

00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:20.179
 nations

00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:21.179
 to be

00:42:21.179 --> 00:42:22.219
 good witness

00:42:22.219 --> 00:42:22.960
 in the light

00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:23.920
 when we have

00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:24.279
 to show

00:42:24.279 --> 00:42:24.880
 light in the

00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:25.179
 darkness

00:42:25.179 --> 00:42:26.500
 help us

00:42:26.500 --> 00:42:26.900
 to

00:42:26.900 --> 00:42:29.279
 take refuge

00:42:29.279 --> 00:42:29.759
 in you

00:42:29.759 --> 00:42:30.559
 and not

00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:30.900
 in anywhere

00:42:30.900 --> 00:42:31.299
 else

00:42:31.299 --> 00:42:32.139
 Father we

00:42:32.139 --> 00:42:32.480
 thank you

00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:33.400
 for today

00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:34.420
 in the name

00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:34.639
 of your

00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:34.839
 son

00:42:34.839 --> 00:42:35.639
 Amen
