Amos 9:1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
  • The altar, probably the same altar at Beth-al where Jeroboam had once stood
  • 1 Kings 13:1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
  • Amos 7:13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
  • Lintel, capital. Render: "smite the capital, shake the foundations, cut them off (the pillars) by the head, all of them". and I will slay.
  • This is the signification of the symbolical act, the last of them: the remnant of the People.
  • Revelation 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
  • Bible Study two edged sword
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
  • Hell refers to grave
  • The grave isn't going to help them
  • God will judge all His children. Judgment day is coming, Judgment could be rewards or the cup of wrath
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
  • Revelation 20, The Millennium = Next = The day of judgment = There's no hidding from our Lord
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
  • God will not cause the evil, but He said. I will allow it too come upon them
5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
  • What's the flood of the end times? Satan's flood of lies, confusion
  • Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhibiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
  • Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
  • Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
  • Satan's power is in his mouth, lies, deception, confusion
  • Watch most of the  the media, nothing but lie to deceive people, they are helping Satan bring in confusion
6 It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.

7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
  • I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob. The 13 tribes of Israel for their sinful kingdom
  • Israel doesn't know who they are
  • Judah knows they are. The tribe of Judah
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
  • Sifted means shake it
10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
  • Die by the sword meaning, they are spiritually dead.
  • They don't know who they are or God's Word (Ezekiel 37)
  • Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
  • Revelation 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
  • On The Lord's Day
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.
  • Esau means Edom the nation of Russia
  • Who does this? God
  • Heathen are the Gentiles
  • Here's we see the 7,000 are from all races. Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
  • Revelation 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
  • Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
  • All of God's people will have all they need. Why? Because, The Lord is with us. The Lord's Day, the Millennium.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
  • God is upset with the 12 tribes. Because most of Israel don't care about their inheritance
