Amos 4:12

"Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!" (Amos 4:12)

3 Points:

1. The last straw

God has already punished Israel for disobedience. Some of their sins: mistreat and abuse the poor, drunkenness, sacrifices and worship that is wonderfully religious but without putting their hearts into it. Some of their punishments: lack of food, lack of rain, insects eating their crops, death in war, thieves made off with their goods. But all this they WOULD NOT repent.

2. People are stubborn

This is not a time to be stubborn. It is a time to repent, to ask forgiveness and change the way they think and live. Danger is at the doorstep.

3. "Prepare to met your God"

Now that strikes fear in me, but to Israel in those days it meant nothing. They could care less, even though the punishment would be the loss of their country. Will humans today repent or keep marching to destruction?
