 OUR FATHER WHO JUDGES HIS OWN PEOPLE

The book of Amos chapter 2 verse 7 says this;

They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed.

Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name.

This verse contains three articles for which the Lord's judgement targeted the people of God;

  • They trampled the poor as though valueless
  • They denied justice to the oppressed
  • They contravened sexual order and propriety
Israel conducted her affairs in a callous and selfish way and when the Lord sent prophets and Nazarites to caution them, the people of Israel silenced them.

It was for this that Israel was going to be crushed like an overloaded cart.

They would suffer judgement that would send their brave warriers running in terror.
