Pamphlet 1369 Amos kc 9-3

Amos 6:1
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! Amos 6:2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? [3] Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; Amos 6:4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; [5] That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David; [6] That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

Amos 6:7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

[8] The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.

[9] And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

[10] And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

Well, when is the last time you heard one of our statesmen stand up and invoke the name of God on the floor of the House or the floor of the Senate and remind those "writers of grievousness" of the words of Thomas Jefferson in our Declaration of Independence (from oppression), that there is a Higher Court, a Supreme Judge, who shall surely overturn their evil judgments on that great day, if not sooner?

Here are the words from that great document:

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions," (Declaration of Independence)

rectitude,  1: the quality or state of being straight 2: moral integrity: RIGHTEOUSNESS 3. the quality or state of being correct in judgment or procedure. (Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition)

[11] For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

[12] Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

Our founding fathers had the guts and the faith to lay the foundation of this great nation as one nation under God, i.e. a nation of Godly men. His Word could be quoted and written on the walls of the Halls of Justice (ever been to Washington, D.C.?) and on our Liberty Bell and even read in the schools throughout the land. Now the name of God is not welcome in our schools nor in our judicial and legislative houses, both great and small.

Amos 6:13
Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." (Declaration of Independence)

Think about each one! You see, when any or all of them are placed in the hands of the ungodly those Four Dynasties can be used to seduce and enslave people and nations, even God's people and His nation if He so allows it. In fact, it is written in Rev. 12 that Satan, the great red dragon, drew one third of God's children away from Him by use of his "tail", those dynasties. Ezek. 28 documents that Satan drew God's children away through the abuse of those same four powers of religion, education,economics, and politics (governance).

In this final generation of the fig tree, it is written in Rev. 9:4 that Christians MUST have the Seal of God, His Word which includes the 7 Seals of Revelation, in their foreheads if they are to survive the spiritual onslaught of the locust army of Rev. 9. Therefore you must have knowledge of the first four of those Seals in your forehead and how those four "horns" have been usurped from God's people and taken over by the sons of Cain who have used them mightily to afflict our people. Our Father warned of this long ago through His servant, the prophet Amos.

Here it is:

[14] But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.

Here is the documentation of who Hemath is:

1 Chron. 2:55
And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites (descendants of Cain) that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.

Here is Strong's definition:

ïP÷­ qayin kah'-yin #7014
The same as H7013 (with a play upon the affinity to H7069); Kajin, the name of the first child, also of a place in Palestine, and of an Oriental tribe:—Cain, Kenite (-s).

In our next study, Amos will be shown a vision of the locusts and see how "small" Jacob, the natural seed of the House of Israel, has been reduced to when the locusts have finished "eating all the grass". Don't miss it!
