The vision of the basket of summer fruit

1 Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And He said, “Amos, what do you see?”
So I said, "A basket of summer fruit."
Then the Lord said to me:
"The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.[7]

Biblical commentator Samuel Driver explains:Шаблон:Quote The two words, ḳêtz and ḳaitz, are similar in sound, but they are not connected etymologically.[8]

The resolution, I will not pass by them anymore, or Driver's preferred wording I will not again pardon it any more, reflects similar wording in Amos 7:8.[8]

Verse 8

Shall not the land tremble for this,
and every one mourn that dwelleth therein?
and it shall rise up wholly as a flood;
and it shall be cast out and drowned,
as by the flood of Egypt.[9]

Verse 11

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God,
that I will send a famine in the land,
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord:[10]
  • "Famine": When the light of God's revelation is withdrawn, the longing for the Word, will remain unsatisfied, like that of Saul (Шаблон:Bibleverse), just like the psalmist grieves: "We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long" (Шаблон:Bibleverse); but it will be in vain (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse).[11]
  • "Not a famine for bread": There could be both bodily and spiritual famine, such as stated, "the famine of the word of the Lord." Saul, in his extremity, "inquired of the Lord and He answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets" Шаблон:Bibleverse. Jeroboam sent his wife to inquire of the prophet Ahijah about his son's health (Шаблон:Bibleverse). They sought for temporal relief only, and therefore found it not.[12]
  • "A thirst for water": the destruction by thirst is the most afflictive manner (Шаблон:Bibleverse). Lysimachus is said to part with his kingdom for a draught of water; and the torments of hell are set forth by a violent thirst for it (Шаблон:Bibleverse); but something worse than either of these is here threatened.[13]
  • "The words of the Lord": are the Scriptures, the word of prophecy, and the preaching of the word, or explaining the Scriptures.[13] Hearing them signifies the preaching of them (Шаблон:Bibleverse) for by hearing comes a great blessing.[13]
