Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:18
"Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have the day of Jehovah! It is darkness and not light."THE DAY OF THE LORDThis, and through Amos 5:20, presents a remarkable view of the Day of the Lord, that is, the Day of Judgment, first as it would be in the case of Israel when God judged and destroyed her for her sins, and secondly, as it will be at the end of time for the great majority of the rebellious race of mankind. This has been cited as the very earliest reference to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:19
"As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?"The word "or" in the above could likewise be translated "and," according to McKeating, thus making all of the actions consecutive, thus:"Running from a lion, he meets a bear. In even greater panic, he reaches the shelter of his house. A snake strikes him from a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:21
I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take not delight in your solemn assemblies.God's repudiation of their worship was based upon several things: (1) It was not really the worship of God at all, but the worship of the old pagan gods they had always adored, even in the wilderness; (2) the formal services which were patterned after the commandments laid down in the Mosaic Law had been conspicuously altered and perverted by such things as: (a) the omission of the sin-offering; and (b) the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:22
"Yea, though ye offer me your burnt-offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts."Conspicuous by their absence were the sin-offerings, the Israelites being conscious of no sin whatever and feeling no need of forgiveness. This accounts for their longing, without fear, for the "day of the Lord." As Barnes wrote, "The very fact that they desired but did not fear `The Day of the Lord' shows that they were worthy of punishment,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:23
"Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols."There are two things God condemned in this verse: (1) the noise of the songs of their worship, and (2) the mechanical instruments used in their worship. Commentators generally have (1) either skipped the questions raised by this verse as did McKeating;[53] (2) dismissed the verse on the grounds that the only thing God had against anything at Bethel was the worshipper's violation of the rights of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:24
"But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream."There are two things commanded here: (1) let justice be done, and (2) return to the commandments and ordinances of God. It was not merely the proper regard for the poor and needy that God wanted, as in (1); but it was also a return to true worship which was required by the admonition in (2). Most of the commentators have failed to recognize what is implied by the Biblical usage of the word righteousness. It has no... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Amos 5:18
Amos 5:18. Woe unto you, &c.— Woe unto them that wish for the day of the Lord. And why? To you the day of the Lord will be, &c. Infidels made a mock at the words of the prophets, when they told them the day of the Lord was at hand; and from a principle of unbelief expressed a desire of seeing this day, that they might be convinced of the truth of such predictions by ocular demonstrations. Amos goes on in very strong terms to inform them that this day would be in no respect desirable to... read more
