Today: [Amos 6] Samaria and Zion Reproved. In chapter 6 of Amos the ruling houses of the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel are held accountable for their crimes against God. The impoverished are afflicted, the peoples are convinced that they are too important to ever be allowed to fail, the courts of the day were perverting judgment in astonishing dimensions. For this reason God declares both houses of Israel will be taken into captivity.
