Amos Chapter 7: Visions and Verbal Sparring


Join Husband and Wife as they dive into Amos Chapter 7 in this episode of Sacrilegious Discourse. With their usual blend of humor and irreverence, they explore Amos's visions of locusts, fire, and plumb lines, and what they mean for the Israelites. Along the way, they tackle the age-old question of divine judgment and the bizarre power dynamics between prophets and priests.


Here's what we're unpacking:


1. Visionary Threats: Unpack the symbolic meanings behind Amos's visions of locusts, fire, and a plumb line, and how they spell doom for the complacent Israelites.

2. Divine Therapy: Discuss the idea of God needing therapy to work through his "parental" issues with his chosen people.

3. Prophetic Drama: Dive into the confrontation between Amos and Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, and the hilariously petty exchange that ensues.

4. Modern Parallels: Draw connections between ancient Israel's societal issues and today's political climate, with a dash of humor and skepticism.


Whether you're here for the biblical critique or the candid banter, this episode offers a thought-provoking and entertaining look at Amos Chapter 7.
