Amos 9 is a message of judgement, of preservation, and of promise. The Prophet Amos wants to fix our eyes upon the Lord. He is mighty lion that roars in judgement over sin.

The book of Chronicles covers a 400-year period of time, called “The Kingdom Period,” because from 1000 B.C. to 600 B.C., Israel was ruled by kings. Saul was its first king. He didn’t do so well.
