Amos 6 The Fifth Message

This is the second woe. There are two woes in this chapter, this is not a great word. It’s a somber word, it’s to get your attention. Whoa! Is another way of saying this, look at it like slowing down a horse. I picture an air raid going off right now. There is an incoming attack. Take cover! Be prepared! Look at what's happening to you. The Lord is trying to get your attention. Is God trying to get our attention? I can’t say for sure. But it could be. There have been 307 mass shootings in the US so far in 2018. The nation's deadliest wildfire in the past century has killed at least 84 people, and more than 560 are still unaccounted for. Despite the inclement weather, more than 800 volunteers searched for remains on Thanksgiving and again Friday, two weeks after flames swept through the Sierra Nevada foothills, authorities said. Armed guards at our schools, fights, political hostile environment. Chapter 4 pointed the finger at women who lived in wanton luxury. This chapter points the finger at those notable men who were in charge.
