Today: [Amos 7] Three Visions of Devastation to Come. In this chapter Amos gives 3 visions, the first to of which did not come to pass. Does that make Amos a false prophet? Amos gives a vision of locusts and a vision of fire that he admits did not come to pass as he saw them. By today’s standards that would constitute Amos being branded a false prophet by the self-appointed “authorities” of our day. Yet Amos was used by God and his 3rd vision in the chapter does ultimately come to pass, whereby we can learn something for ourselves regarding how to respond to the prophetic ministries in our midst.
