Pamphlet 1375 Amos 12-1

Do you get your fruit from the great Evergreen,
the Tree of Life,
the Word of God,
or from fast talking preachers?

Do you know how to answer the age old questions,

1. "When does the end come?"
and
2. "When is the final generation"?

Well, we have now come to the next to the last chapter,
the incredible 8th chapter, of the Book of Amos
in which Amos will be given a vision of the time of the end,
even of the timing of the end,
and some very important information necessary for our understanding in these last days.

For that reason we are going to take some extra time in covering this chapter.
So let's begin.

Amos 8:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
Adonai Yahveh, the Lord GOD,
now shows Amos a basket of "summer fruit" which means "ripe fruit".

It is important to note that the word "summer" used here
is a figure of speech called a "Metonymy" which is simply a change of noun.

In this case that change of noun is used as an Adjunct
which is "when something pertaining to the subject is put for the subject itself."

In other words, "summer" is put (by the Fig. Metonymy,
by adjunct) for "ripe" which characterizes the "summer"!
(See note in Companion Bible)

Why is this so important?

Let's read the next verse and we will find out.

[2] And He said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
Do you think God asked Amos "what SEEST thou" as a rhetorical question?

I think not.

Now this next statement may sound overly simplistic to some
but you must understand and not overlook the fact that Amos,
the servant of God, student of His Word,
was able to recognize that it was FRUIT and also that it was RIPE,
which identifies the time of SUMMER,
when the LORD will no longer delay his judgment and the pouring out of the cup of His wrath.

You see, our loving Father, Adonai Yahveh,
has just TOLD US that this VISION of the Summer Fruit concerns the "end time",
the final generation when the "end is come upon My people Israel"!

So this concerns the 10 tribes of the House of Israel, i.e. America, Great Britain, Canada, &c.

If we dig a little deeper we will also discover
that He gave us a cute little saying,
a play on words (a figure of speech called a Paronomasia)
in this verse using the words "summer fruit" and "end"
which are like-sounding or rhyming words in the Hebrew language.

They are "õP÷­ qayits kah'-yits" and "õ÷« qeòtskates" which means
"Ripe is the fruit, ripe is the time."

So all we have to do as God's servants
in order to understand the time being spoken of
is to understand the symbology of the vision Amos saw.

Remember we all ready know that it identifies the "end coming upon His people".

Let's start with "summer".

Jesus told us how to know when "summer" is near
in Mat. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. Let's go to Mark 13:

Mark 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
We identify when "summer" is near by following the explicit instruction,
the simple words of Jesus Christ, to learn the Parable of the Fig Tree.

Do you keep His commands, His instructions, i.e. His words?

That actually depends on whether you truly love Him or not.

John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

The "Parable of the Fig Tree" actually begins in the fig grove in the garden of Eden
where mother Eve was spiritually AND physically seduced by Satan
and where the seed (offspring) of that serpent,
Cain and his generations of kenites (sons of Kain),
between whom God would placed enmity with the seed of the woman,
Abel and the children of Adam,
was symbolically covered up by the fig leaves that were sewn together
and placed over her womb.

If you look up "fig" in a dictionary you will find
that it figuratively symbolizes something hidden as in the expression "It is a fig".

Yes, the truth of what happened in the garden has remained hidden
and obscured by traditional fairy tales of "apples and snakes" unto this very day.

Satan just loves it.

And you know that Amaziah (see chapter 7)
would certainly never allow such a teaching of truth as this
in his nationally recognized church.

Nevertheless, and to make a long study short,
the sons of Cain would eventually affix themselves to the tribes of Israel (1 Chron. 2:55)
and eventually infiltrate the tribe of Judah
(read Ezra and Nehemiah concerning the Levite and the Nethinim)
and lay claim that they are actually of the good seed of Adam,
through Abraham and Judah,
and that they are God's chosen people,
both of which are LIES!

They are those "bad figs", those "liars" of the synagogue of Satan
identified in Rev. 2:9 and 3:9 whose fake ID's
are taught by the two churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia,
the only two churches Christ found no fault with.

Also, in the 24th chapter of the Book of Jeremiah,
the prophet Jeremiah was shown two baskets of "figs"
and identified one as very "naughty figs" which could not be eaten
and the other as very "good figs".

So the tribe of Judah (Those who we call Jews) today is actually a mixture of good figs
(those who really are of Judah)
and the bad figs (those who are imposters).

However, Jeremiah saw BOTH baskets,
both the good and the bad figs,
set out in the land of Judea.

Do you know historically when that occurred?

It was on May 15, 1948, when the United Nations,
which was set up and instituted by the Zionists themselves,
gave sanction to the state of Israel.

It has COME TO PASS!

Next verse:

[29] So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
The beginning of "summer" is when the planting has taken place,
not the harvest.

First ripe figs actually occur in late summer.

However, to show you how good He is to us in "foretelling us all things (Mark 13:23)"

He let us know the following:

[30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
The "generation of the fig tree" shall not pass
until ALL these prophecies are fulfilled,
DONE!

To a wise person who can "take heed" and put two and two together, this simply means that there will be "Baby Boomers"
who will see the return of Jesus Christ!

That in itself should let you know that it is now late in the summer season
because the Boomers are starting to mature,
i.e. ripen to the status of senior citizen where everything can be purchased for 10% less.

But we are to be even more perceptive than that
and be able to SEE when the fruit is ripe!

What fruit are we talking about?

What is fruit symbolic of anyway?

Hopefully you are not at the level where you think
all the trees talked about in Bible have bark on them
and that Eve ate an apple from a fruit tree.

Trees are used symbolically THROUGHOUT the Bible to represent people,
men and women,
even Satan,
known as the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
and that old "box cedar" in Ezek. 31,
and Jesus Christ,
the Tree of Life.

If you have never read the 31st chapter of Ezekiel regarding "trees"
then do so now!

Our Father even likens Himself to a great fir tree,
an Evergreen Tree (symbolic of eternal life)
and says you are get your "fruit" from Him (Hosea 14:6).

You see, good trees produce good fruit
and bad trees produce bad fruit.

Consider the words and the warning of Jesus Christ:

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
How do you tell if a prophet,
i.e. a preacher or teacher,
is truly of God or one of those MANY false ones Christ warned us about?

It is real simple.

You simply test their "FRUITS"!

[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
You do not go out and gather grapes from thorn bushes, right?

You would have to go to a live grape vine to gather grapes.

[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Don't you remember Eve ate the fruit from the corrupt tree
which was in the midst of the garden.

She was told not to, wasn't she?

By the way, you have been told the SAME THING!

Do you get your fruit from the great Evergreen,
the Tree of Life,
the Word of God,
or from fast talking preachers?

[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

The bad tree of the knowledge of good and evil
which was once in the midst of the garden of Eden
has already been sentenced to be cast into the lake of fire.

It appears that many of his branches shall go with him.

[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
I'm going to stop right here and just say take a good look at our nation,
especially religiously and economically
both of which our Father is about to emphasize in the remainder of this chapter.

We need to be aware of the powers of the Four Hidden Dynasties
which are Politics,Education, Economics, and Religion,
and the degree to which they are now controlled by the antagonists of Christianity.

You see, there is about to be a Big Shakeup in the status quo.

Call it the earthquake of Uzziah!

Let's return to Amos chapter 8.

Remember that the LORD has just said in verse 2
that the "end is coming upon His people Israel".

Amos 8:3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
There will be many people who will be spiritually slain,
who will die by the spiritual sword, "in that day"!

They will even be those who sing songs of praise
and worship in Amaziah's temple
and all those other Beth-avens,
those spiritually dried up Christian churches void of His Truth.

Yes, there will be spiritually dead souls in "every place".

 "They shall cast them forth with silence"
simply means that this is spiritual death,
and that which is spiritual cannot be seen nor heard by flesh eyes and flesh ears.

Again, the Book of Amos has not looked upon the churches of this land,
as they exist two years before the great earthquake,
i.e. the return of Christ, with much favor at all.

Remember what our Father said about all those songs they sing to Him
while they ignore His Word and allow injustice to reign throughout the land?

Amos 5:23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
Yes, our Father is not too happy with Amaziah type churches
which will not allow the Word of God to be taught there.

They may be singing their happy hymns in their Beth-els now,
but they are going to "Change Their Tune"
very soon now!

We have also learned in this book of Amos
about the "Fat-cats" in high places who take advantage of our people and rip them off.

Our leaders who should have continued to build our nation
using the same "plumbline" our founding fathers did,
have allowed the sons of the House of Hemath (1 Chron. 2:55),
i.e. the kenites, the bad figs, to enter in and they now literally rule over us,
using many of our own leaders as "pawns in the game"!

Remember the vision Amos saw of the locusts consuming our land?

What do you know about the Hidden Dynasty of the Economy?

Do you know why we have a 12 Trillion Dollar national DEBT
and even more DEBT than that among our local cities, and counties, and townships, &c?

We were warned long ago by the Word of God through Moses
that the stranger, the kenite,
would become the head
and rule over us through the power of economics,
through lending (usury).

We have not followed God's laws of economics
and have not declared the jubilee inscribed on our Liberty Bell.

Here are the simple words of warning from our Father
in the great Book of Deuteronomy.

So simple and easy to understand are they,
that they need no commentary whatsoever:

Deut. 28:42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
[43] The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
[44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

[45] Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

Note: If you do not know how money works, who controls the economies and markets and central banks of the world, and what the national debt is all about, find a copy of "The Hidden Dynasty of the Economy" and read it.

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
