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.
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.
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:
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.

the Fig Tree"
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
It appears that many of his branches shall go with him.
[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.[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:
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.
