Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Amos 7:1-9

CRITICAL NOTES.] Showed] three visions in this ch. Locusts (Amos 7:1-3) the first; “all inward tuitions produced by the Spirit of God, which set forth the primitive judgments of God” [Keil].

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Amos 7:1-17

Amos 7:1 . He formed grasshoppers, which are the same as the locusts. After the king’s mowings. It is supposed that the first grass, or the proud corn cut with the scythe, was a tribute to the king. Now, the locusts falling on the wheat, which shot up immediately afterwards, would make fatal havock of the hopes of that year. See Harmer, vol. 2:466. Amos 7:14 . Then answered Amos I was no prophet. He was not designated from his birth, like Samuel; neither was he a prophet’s son,... read more

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

4-6. The devouring fire A second vision, presenting essentially the same truth as the first. Called to contend by fire Called the fire to contend with it. Instead of the locusts Jehovah selected the fire as the agency through which to execute judgment. For representations of Jehovah as entering into judicial controversy with his people see Hosea 4:1; Micah 6:2; Isaiah 3:13-15. The imagery was suggested probably by conflagrations or by excessive summer heat accompanied by drought (see on... read more
