Revelation of God the Father

Amos 5:18–6:14 (ESV)

18 Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why would you have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light,

What does Amos 5:18-6:14 reveal about who God the Father is?

God hates religious hypocrisy (Amos 5:21–24). The Lord expects those who praise him with their lips to demonstrate fruits of the Spirit in their lives.

God is in control of history (Amos 5:27). The Lord uses nations to achieve his plans (Amos 6:14). Assyria will be the nation that takes the people of Israel off into exile and destroys their cities (Amos 6:11).

God hates pride (Amos 6:8) and will judge those who are proud and think they can live without God, treating fellow human beings with contempt.
