Amos 2:1 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
  • The Lord is talking, Moab, and for four I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.
  • Moab was the son of the Lot's eldest daughter, the progenitor of the Moabites. Zoar was the cradle of the race of Lot. From this centre the brother tribes spread themselves. The Moabites first inhabited the rich highlands which crown the eastern side of the chasm of the Dead Sea, extending as far north as the mountain of Gilead, from which country they expelled the Emims.
  • Edom is the nation Russia. Has to do with the nation not all people in Russia. There are many Christians in Russia.
2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
  • Sound of the trumpet, at the 7th trump
  • 7th vial poured out, God's cup of wrath
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord.

4 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
  • They have despised the law of the Lord
  • They Have Not kept His Commandments
  • Your false pastors has caused My people to err.
  • Four represents the end times
  • Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
  • The word ''winds of the earth'', according to the concordance, means a very devastating wind.
  • The four winds brings the end
  • By the sealing of 144,000, enabling them to stand in the judgment
  • God very elect will have sealed the 144,000 just before the 4th vial
  • Man does the teaching, it's God that does the sealing. Revelation 7
5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
  • Who's going to send a fire? God going send fire upon Judah, because they didn't follow God's commandments. They sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes
  • 7th vial poured out, Revelation 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
  • 7th vial and the third woe to earth
  • This cup of wrath is poured out on those that followed Satan and worshipped Satan
    • 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
    19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
  • Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
  • The Temple Mount is the ancient site of Solomon's Temple
    • Matthew 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
6 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
  • God said, Israel I will not turn away the punishment I will pour out My cup of wrath
7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane My holy name:
  • They step on My people and push them down to the earth
8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
  • Exodus 22:26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
    27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
    28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.

10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
  • God open up the gates of heaven and fed them
  • When God delivered Israel from Egypt by performing so many wonderful miracles.
  • He had let an entire generation die, with the exception of two souls before Israel could enter the promised land because of their lack of faith.
  • Joshua and Caleb were the only two that enter into the promise land in that generation.
    God said all under the age of twenty would not enter into the promise land
    God walked with them forty years in the wilderness.
  • Joshua 14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
    • Numbers 32:11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
    12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord.
    Joshua 5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord sware that he would not shew them the land, which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
 
12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
 
13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
  • God is saying, I'm going to load your wagon where you can't move it.
  • God will put holes in your pockets
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
  • Because they're going against God Ways
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
  • God going take all you have from you
  • Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
