Amos 1-5
God pronounces judgment because of injustice and unrighteousness. Throughout history one nation after another has fallen or been destroyed because of injustice or unrighteousness. Unfortunately, we don’t learn from history. Of course, there are those who give the credit to others, but it is still God behind the judgment. Germany fell because of its sins. The USSR was brought down because of injustice. Every great nation is brought to its knees because of sin. I fear for the United States of America. How long will the Lord put up with the injustice meted out by our judicial system? Will He stand for the sexual immorality much longer? Greed is running rampant. Do we believe that God will simply ignore the oppression of the poor by those with all the wealth? I don’t know when judgment will come, but I do know that if our nation repents we can avoid the wrath of God.
