Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 7

In this chapter we have, I. God contending with Israel, by the judgments, but are reprieved, and the judgments turned away at the prayer of Amos, Amos 7:1-6. 2. God's patience is at length worn out by their obstinacy, and they are rejected, and sentenced to utter ruin, Amos 7:7-9. II. Israel contending with God, by the opposition given to his prophet. 1. Amaziah informs against Amos (Amos 7:10, 11) and does what he can to rid the country of him as a public nuisance, Amos 7:12, 13. 2. Amos... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 7:1-9

We here see that God bears long, but that he will not bear always, with a provoking people, both these God here showed the prophet: Thus hath the Lord God showed me, Amos 7:1, 4, 7. He showed him what was present, foreshowed him what was to come, gave him the knowledge both of what he did and of what he designed; for the Lord God reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets, Amos 3:7. I. We have here two instances of God's sparing mercy, remembered in the midst of judgment, the narratives... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 7:10-17

One would have expected, 1. That what we met with in the former part of the chapter would awaken the people to repentance, when they saw that they were reprieved in order that they might have space to repent and that they could not obtain a pardon unless the did repent. 2. That it would endear the prophet Amos to them, who had not only shown his good-will to them in praying against the judgments that invaded them, but had prevailed to turn away those judgments, which, if they had had any sense... read more

INTRODUCTION TO AMOS 7 In this and the two following chapters are the visions of Amos, in number five; three of which are contained in this chapter, and with which it begins. The first is of the grasshoppers or locusts eating up the later grass of the land, which are stopped at the intercession of the prophet, Amos 7:1 ; the second is of fire the Lord called for to contend by, whose devouring flames are made to cease by the same interposition, Amos 7:4 ; and the other is of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 7:1

Thus hath the Lord showed unto me ,.... What follows in this and the two chapters, before the prophet delivered what he heard from the Lord; now what he saw, the same thing, the ruin of the ten tribes, is here expressed as before, but in a different form; before in prophecy, here in vision, the more to affect and work upon the hearts of the people: and, behold, he formed grasshoppers ; or "locusts" F21 גבי "ecce fictor locustarum", Pagninus, Montanus; so Munster, Vatablus,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 7:2

And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land ,.... That is, the grasshoppers or locusts; when in the vision it seemed to the prophet that almost all the grass of the land was eaten up, and they were going to seize upon the corn, and other fruits of the earth: this signifies not Sennacherib's invasion of the land of Judea, but Pul's invasion of the land of Israel, whose army seemed like these locusts; and spreading themselves over the land, threatened... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 7:3

The Lord repented for this ,.... He heard the prayer of the prophet, and at his intercession averted, the threatened judgment; thus the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, James 5:16 ; this is spoken after the manner of men; as men, when they repent of a thing, desist from it, so the Lord desisted from going on with this judgment; he did not change his mind, but changed the dispensations of his providence according to his mind and will: it shall not be, saith the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 7:4

Thus hath the Lord showed unto me ,.... Another vision after this manner: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire ; gave out that he would have a controversy with his people Israel, and proclaimed the time when he would try the cause with them, and that by fire: or he called his family, as Jarchi; that is, his angels, as Kimchi, to cause fire to descend upon Israel, as upon Sodom and Gomorrah; so other Rabbins Kimchi mentions: or, as he interprets it, the scorching heat of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 7:5

Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee ,.... From destroying the land; suffer not this calamity to proceed any further; using the same argument as before: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small ; See Gill on Amos 7:2 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 7:6

The Lord repented for this ,.... He heard the prophet's prayer, and desisted from going on with the threatened destruction: this also shall not be, saith the Lord God ; the whole land shall not be destroyed, only a part of it carried captive. read more
