Amos 8

The Coming Day of Bitter Mourning Amos 8: 1 This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me, [Summer Fruit - NOW !... the Fruit is ripe] “The end has come upon my people Israel; [The Whole House - Christians and Jews] I will never again pass by them. 3 The songs of the temple[b] shall become wailings in that day,” declares the Lord God. “So many dead bodies!” “They are thrown everywhere!” “Silence!” [Rev 8?] 4 Hear this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end, 5 saying, “When will the new moon be over, [New Moon Sept 2, Tishri 1 TorahCalendar] that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, [Sept 2/3, 2016] that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great and deal deceitfully with false balances, 6 that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals and sell the chaff of the wheat?” 7 The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: [Ephraim and Manasseh, Gen 48] “Surely I will never forget any of their deeds. 8 Shall not the land tremble on this account, and everyone mourn who dwells in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?” 9 “And on that day,” declares the Lord God, “I will make the sun go down at noon [Solar Eclipse is Sept 1 @ 12:01 PM Jerusalem] and darken the earth in broad daylight. 10 I will turn your feasts into mourning [Feast of Trumpets is Sept 2/3 or Labor day] and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son [Zech 12 and Rev 1:7] and the end of it like a bitter day. 11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, [food is NOT scarce.. YET] but of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 They shall wander from sea to sea, [USA has a Sea to Sea and UK...] and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, [Daniel 12:4] but they shall not find it. 13 “In that day the lovely virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst. 14 Those who swear by the Guilt of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’ [obama's is the god of Dan] and, ‘As the Way of Beersheba lives,’ they shall fall, and never rise again.”
