Revelation of God the Father

Amos 9:1–15 (ESV)

1 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: “Strike the capitals until the thresholds shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people; and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword; not one of them shall flee away; not one of them shall escape.

What does Amos 9 reveal about who God the Father is?

The Lord will bring judgment upon evil and no one will escape his judgment (Amos 9:1–4, Amos 9:8).

The Lord is omnipresent (Amos 9:5–6).

The Lord is in control of creation, he causes the earth to melt (Amos 9:5), the land to shake with an earthquake (Amos 9:1, Amos 9:5), and water to cover the ground (Amos 9:6).

The Lord cares and provides for all people (Amos 9:7) but he is especially concerned for his elect (Amos 9:8–10).

The Lord will send his Messiah (Amos 9:11–12) and create a perfect new world (Amos 9:13–15).
