Then he turned his gaze on Israel, the primary focus of his prophetic words. Under the authority of God, Amos pronounced – 7 sins of Israel. Then he testified, 7 inabilities of Israel to escape the coming judgment of God. Then he spoke of Israel’s ultimate day of judgment. In that day – the day of the Lord. Chapter 3 commences a new section of Amos where he delivers 5 messages regarding the coming judgment of Israel appealing for them to repent.
