*Righteous & Just*
* *
*A Nation In Trouble: Righteous & Just*
Today we come to the end of a journey.
A journey that has shown us more of the true nature of God.
God took an ordinary everyday man and spoke the truth of His Word to His own people who were living in sin and refusing to *recognize* it or even *repent*.
They had been warned and even before this had short times of obedience, but overall they turned their back more and more so that God saw nothing but their continued *sin*.
America better pay attention!
We are doing the same thing and we may be headed for the same result.
*God is Holy* and will not neglect or ignore our sin-individually or as a nation.
God now shows Amos what will happen.
{STAND} *Amos 9:1-15*
*No One Escapes*
Amos 9:1-4

-with the sword He will kill those who are not under the roof
-absolutely no one will escape
-not fugitive—guilty or refugee--fleeing persecution
v.2-can’t
dig a hole to Sheol to escape or ascend to heaven
-can’t go to the highest mountain or the deepest sea to escape

-enemies capturing them & taking them to exile would not stop Him
*Psalm 139:7-8*—can’t go anywhere away from His presence
*Romans 8:38-39*—can’t separate ourselves from God’s love
v.4-He
set His eyes against them for evil and not for good.
-they could not escape God’s judgment for THEIR sin!
*One More Reminder*
Amos 9:5-6
-make no mistake this will be accomplished by Almighty God
-there gods will not even create a blunder by God Almighty
-He is the One who can touch the earth and destroy it
-causing all those who live there to mourn—grieve
-the land will obey God and rise and fall just like the Nile
-uncontrolled by man
-the One who makes His home in the heavens & causes even rain
-*The Lord Is His Name*—one more reminder—make no mistake
*Everything Is Affected*
Amos 9:7-10* *
* *-there being the chosen people of God didn’t exempt or excuse them
* *-‘are you not like the sons of Ethiopia to Me?’
-the Cushites were a foreign and unimportant people living at the
periphery of the known world—Sudan & S. Egypt
-He brought them out of Egypt but also their enemies He ruled over

final announcement of judgment
-eyes of the Lord are on the sinful kingdom—His own
-He will destroy the nation, but not all of it

-the fallen booth of David will be restored

-He will return His people to the ruined cities and they will produce
-they will then not be rooted out of their land again
