Molech worship, as discussed in Amos, involved child sacrifice. Amos challenged his audience to protect the innocent among them. 14:32 – Establishing judgement or fairness at the gate, the place of contracts. 17:31 – Refusal to listen to God and his prophets is another sign that a land is reaching the fullness of iniquity. Amaziah, a priest at the shrine in Bethel, contends with Amos and tells him to go back to his country. 25:03 – The Divine Council and the role of prophets. Amos tells his hearers that prophets have entered into the sôd, or the Divine Council in heaven. 32:20 – The Lord reminds Israel of all that he has done for them and invites them to follow Him. 40:55 – A list of tendencies that are on the path that ends at the fulness of iniquity. First, don’t let your worship become a checklist. The worship of the Lord is not the end, but the means. Living the Gospel is meant to lead us to become like the Savior. 48:46 – Amos warns us to not be “at ease in Zion.” The story of Lehonti coming down the mountain illustrates this idea. 54:49 – Israel is told, “Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought” (Amos 6.13). 1:01:32 – Amos’ words of warning about captivity and how the Cosmic Covenant is tied to the land. 1:05:58 – The Book of Amos ends with a positive message of hope. The Lord says, “I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob.” 1:09:17 – Obadiah speaks of a warning to Edom, an adversary of Judah and a people who rejoiced in the destruction of the temple in 586 B.C. Edom can also represent the world and the worldly. Obadiah ends with a message of hope. ➡ Bryce Dunford's Website: brotherdunford.org/ ➡ Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-scripture/id1481923946 ➡ Google Podcasts: podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5sZHNzY3JpcHR1cmV0ZWFjaGluZ3Mub3JnL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdC8 ➡ Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/talking-scripture?refid=stpr ➡ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/29SzZOUi9PHoa3f6Sy4zur?si=NECQi0kLSOuSTN-DOcwhUw ➡ Facebook: www.facebook.com/TalkingScripturePodcast/
