God gives Amos the final vision in the ninth and last chapter of Amos.  God is absolutely going to destroy Israel.  Totally.  But…..God always has a remnant.  Just when you think all the people  around you are going to hell in a hand bag, along comes someone with a mind for God.  Someone like Amos.  So God gives Amos hope.  A vision of the future.  (Though Amos will never live to see it.)

Even though nothing will belong to Israel after the invasion of their land and destruction of their people, a day is coming--sometime in the unknown future--when God will restore the remnant of Israel to their homeland.  Amos 9:14b-15  ",,,they will build the waste cities, and inhabit them, and they will plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they will also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.  And I will plant them upon their land, and they will no more be pulled out of their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God."

If you want to know where the world is headed, watch Israel.  They now have their land back…as God promised. .Someone once told me that Israel is God's time clock.  And the clock is ticking.  So what happens next?  Well, read the Bible.  It is pretty well spelled out.  And it is remarkably accurate.

 I am finished with the book of Amos.  It is a book of warning.  It may seem like God isn't watching your life, your town, your country…but He is. It may seem like their is no justice for those who are disobedience.  But it is coming.  This is why we must share the Gospel.  People need to know.
