Hear, and testify the consequence of sin

Amos 3:1-15
Higher View: Everything happening has it's reason.
I will punish you for all your iniquities. Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet? Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey?...
Spot view: God likes lion, who will not fear
The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord has spoken; who can but prophesy?
As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Samaria be rescued with the corner of a couch and part of a bed.
Ponder point: Hear and testify, the Lord is a trustworthy God.
"Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob,....I will strike the winter house along with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall come to an end." declares the Lord.
Why?
Israel, the people who have known God's special love and care, the people he brought out of Egypt have broken their covenant-agreement with God. In consequence they must suffer punishment.
It is simple cause and effect, God has spoken: he will cat.
Of beautiful Samaria, with its great stone houses and exquisite ivory panels, only a trace will be left; just enough to show that the city once existed. And God will demolish the trappings of debased religion at Bethel.
Diseases, famines and disasters are coming which has the warning messages from the Lord. It is the signs that the Day of the Lord is near.
Transgression comes with death, iniquity comes with punishment.
Who fears the Lord will obey his commandments.
Everything will pass away when the day of the Lord is coming.
How?
Fear the Lord, hear his warning and follow his commandments. Listen and testify the consequence of sin.
