The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.

 Amos 7:1-8:3 

This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up. When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!” So the Lord relented.

This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: The Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land. Then I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!” So the Lord relented.

Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.”

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’

This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: a basket of ripe fruit. “What do you see, Amos?” he asked.

Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.  “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies—flung everywhere! Silence!”

Why?

The sound of ripe fruit in summer is similar to the result. This summer fruit should be fig, and the saving period is short.

It means the judgment time for Israel is near. 

Amaziah did not like what Amos prophesied to Israel. Amos is not a prophet but followed the command of the Lord to warn people of Israel.

Most people don't like judgment, but love, but when our sins increase, we will be confronted with judgment and punishment from the Lord.

How?

When we say something in this kingdom at any time, the government doesn't like the disaster but peace and numerous, but it depends on the Lord and what they have done before the Lord.
