Amos said:

 

Amos 3:7  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but HE revealeth HIS secret unto HIS servants the prophets.

Amos 4

 

9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto ME, saith the LORD.

 

10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto ME, saith the LORD.

 

11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto ME, saith the LORD.

 

12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.

 

13 For, lo, HE that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is HIS name.

Amos 5

 

6 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest HE break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.

 

7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

 

8 Seek HIM that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is HIS name:

 

9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

 

10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

 

11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

 

12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

 

13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

Amos 5

 

14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

 

15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

 

16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

 

17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.

Amos 5  (The Day of the Lord:  The Great Tribulation)

 

18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

 

19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

 

20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Amos 5  (To people of the Old Covenant)

 

21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

 

24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Amos 8

 

(Judgments against Judah and Israel)

 

1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

 

2 And HE said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon MY people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

 

3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

 

4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

 

5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

 

 

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

 

10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

 

11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

 

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Jesus shed HIS blood for sins and established the New Testament church and many fell away from scripture and set up their own doctrine.  When Jesus returns, HE will destroy the apostate churches.

 

2 Thessalonians 2

 

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:

 

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

 

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

 

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

 

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Matthew 24  (Jesus says:)

 

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

 

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
