OUR FATHER WHO WARNS THROUGH HIS PROPHETS

The book of Amos chapter 3 verse 4 says this;

Does a lion roar in the thicket when it has no prey?

Does it growl in its den when it has caught nothing?

The prophet Amos, prophecing over the kingdom of Israel, declares parables that warn of the inevitability of the judgement that was to be  brought against them.

In the same way that a lion's roar in the thicket indicates that the lion has acquired prey, the prophecies against Israel indicate that judgment has been brought against Israel.

In the same way that a lion growls in its den when it has captured an animal, so does the prophet of God utter prophecy when the evil deeds of the people have triggered judgement upon them.

Amen.
