A few more questions

Here are a few more questions for studying Amos' prophecy in its 3rd chapter:
  1. How is it that Amos saw this message in a vision? What did Amos see?
  2. Why does the Lord promise extra punishment to Israel instead of the nations?
  3. Where are the mountains of Samaria, in relation to Jerusalem?
  4. Where is the city of Ashdod?
  5. Why does the Lord have a mini-proclamation to Egypt and Ashdod, in verses 9 - 11?
  6. What were Israel's sins in vv. 9 - 11?
  7. What are the "horns" on an altar?
  8. Why does the Lord promise to break the altar apart in Bethel based on the actions of Israelites outside the altar area?
  9. Do we have an altar like this one mentioned by Amos?
  10. Do you have a summer home?
Let's dig into chapter 3 with these questions and some help from the Lord for our minds.
