Amos a prophet was sent to Israel and Judah with a message of judgement, to the surrounding nations ,and also a message judgement. Israel and Judah and those nations could have escaped this judgement if only they would have repented of their wicked ways,but alas they didn't. God is a forgiving God,when Nineveh was under judgement for their sinful wickedness,they repented and God forgive them.Anyone no matter how wicked they are,God will forgive if they truly repent and seek forgiveness through Jesus.But alas neither Judah or Israel would listen to God's servant who proclaimed the word of God to them.Indeed a so called priest tried to shut the prophet up,and have him removed,but failed.( 7 v 10-17) It is a very serious and dangerous thing to silence Gods voice, or try to,as we will see next time.
' Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts.'
Hebrews 3 v 7-8 .
