Amos 7 is a chapter in the Book of Amos in the Bible, and it contains a series of visions and dialogues between the prophet Amos and the Lord. Here is a brief summary of Amos 7 (KJV) in 200 words:
In the first vision, the Lord shows Amos a swarm of locusts that will come to devour the land of Israel. Amos pleads with God to forgive the people, and God relents from sending the locusts.
In the second vision, the Lord reveals a consuming fire that will devour the land. Again, Amos intercedes on behalf of the people, and God relents from bringing the destruction.
Next, Amos has a confrontation with Amaziah, the priest of Bethel. Amaziah accuses Amos of conspiring against the king and prophesying false things. Amos defends himself and explains that he is not a professional prophet but a shepherd whom God has called to deliver His message.
Amos then receives a message from God, announcing the impending downfall of the priest’s family and the captivity of Israel. Amos foretells the death of Amaziah’s wife and the exile of Israel’s people.
