George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Amos 7:6

The. Septuagint, as ver. 3. (Haydock) --- We read not of locusts being sent, ver. 1. But fire of war certainly raged before the final catastrophe of Jehu's family, when Sellum slew Zacharias, 4 Kings xv. 8. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Amos 7:1-9

1-9 God bears long, but he will not bear always with a provoking people. The remembrance of the mercies we formerly received, like the produce of the earth of the former growth, should make us submissive to the will of God, when we meet with disappointments in the latter growth. The Lord has many ways of humbling a sinful nation. Whatever trouble we are under, we should be most earnest with God for the forgiveness of sin. Sin will soon make a great people small. What will become of Israel, if... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Amos 7:1-9

The Visions of the Grasshoppers, of the Fire, and of the Plumb-Line. v. 1. Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me, in visions and pictures shown by the Spirit of God, and, behold, He formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, of the second crop of the season; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings, the first crop, apparently, belonging to the king as a part of the nation's revenue. The time of the grasshoppers' coming, therefore, was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Amos 7:1-17

the Herdsman’s Message Amos 7:1-17 The king’s mowings were the earliest yield of the grasslands, which were exacted by him. Our King also has His mowings, when He takes to Himself our dearest and best while the dew of youth is still upon them-but He is only claiming His own. Three disasters threatened the guilty land-locusts, fire, and plague; but the prophet’s intercessions warded off the blow. The Bible often tells a similar story of the power of intercession. If only the Church were... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Amos 7:1-17

In this division the prophet gave a fivefold vision of judgment, introduced in the first four cases by the words, "The Lord God showed me." The last vision was of Jehovah Himself. The vision of the locusts declared judgment to be threatened, and restrained in answer to intercession. The vision of the fire had the same significance. The prophet saw the devowing fire and interceded. His intercession was answered by Jehovah's repentance, and the judgment was restrained. The vision of the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 7:1-17

The Four Visions (Amos 7:1 to Amos 8:14 ). In a similar way to the seven judgments in Amos 1:2 to Amos 2:5, followed by the expanded judgment on Israel, which all initially followed a similar pattern, so here Amos now recounts three visions threatening judgment on Israel, followed by a fourth which again expands into a judgment on Israel, and all four initially follow a similar pattern. All commence with ‘thus YHWH (He) showed me, and behold --’ (Amos 7:1; Amos 7:4, Amos 7:0: Amos 8:1), but... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 7:4-6

The Second Vision - The Consuming Fire (Amos 7:4-6 ). We must remember that this was a vision not something that actually happened. It commenced with a fire from YHWH which ‘devoured the great deep’. As we have seen fire was regularly a picture of YHWH’s judgments in the initial judgments (Amos 1:4; Amos 1:7; Amos 1:10; Amos 1:12; Amos 1:14; Amos 2:2; Amos 2:5, compare also Amos 5:6), but so awesome was it that it here that it dried up the ‘the great deep (tehom)’. To the Canaanites the sea... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 7:4-6

Amos 7:4-Joshua : . The Vision of Fire.— Another time the prophet saw a fire-phenomenon. Yahweh ( Amos 7:4) “ called down a fire to punish” (or judge). This devoured the great deep ( Genesis 1:6 f.*), whence came the rivers and fountains, and would have devoured “ the tilled land,” when the prophet interceded ( Amos 7:5) and Yahweh relented ( Amos 7:6). read more
