When COVID began, I asked God why this was happening and turned to the Bible and he brought me to the end of the Book of Amos. Now I understand why. God is a God of justice, power and mercy.

I’ve noticed that God will always rain down judgement of wickedness but his plans are always restoration and goodness. What an amazing God we serve. It says In Amos 9:8 that he will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob.
Great advise...I usually read the conclusions of any book first, then read the chapter headings as sign posts, then read for answers to the questions that automatically aroused in my mind. So I'm reading for answers not words on a page.. However these videos are excellent snap shots 👍🏻🙏😄
For me the Book of Amos confirms something that the world is trying to hide from us today and that is who the real Hebrew Israelites were and who their not. Bcuz remember that the true Hebrew Israelites were the true chosen people of The One True Creator. Today we are all looking up to some people who claim to be the Hebrew Israelites but when you read Amos 9 -7 it actually tells you a very different story. And when you accept Amos 9 -7 as a fact it makes it easier for anyone to understand what Deuteronomy 28 is talking about and it also confirms all the talk about slavery in this Book of Amos. In Amos 9 -7 the Ethiopians have been mentioned but I want those who don't know to understand that, this is not the Ethiopia of today that The One True Creator is talking about here. Here Ethiopia means a particular group of people and this people are brethrens of the Hebrew Israelites and there have been inter-marriages among this two group of people throughout history and including stories in the Bible. Don't take my word for it just do your homework and find out first what Ethiopia means and second which group of people were the Ethiopians then I am sure everything will start to be clear, if you are a honest truth seeker. Deuteronomy 28 really confirms and for me that makes Amos 9 -7 a very powerful verse, that was actually prophesizing what both the Hebrew Israelites and the Ethiopians will go through in the hands of their enemies. And today all this prophecies have come to pass and the Hebrew Israelites and their Ethiopian brethren have gone through and are still going through, exactly what The One True Creator said it will happen to them from the hands of their enemies. Today their enemies are trying very hard to change the story and hide the truth about these people and they are even projecting themselves in the story replacing their victims. Practically hiding and camouflaging the truth with their lies. But if you are a honest truth seeker this verse coupled with Deuteronomy 28 will open your eyes to see through all this carefully crafted lies and smokescreens. This people have even changed the religion of the Hebrew Israelites and their Ethiopian brethrens of strict monotheism into a ridiculous religion of a triad god head. Some people are claiming to be what they're not and they are hiding their crimes against the people of The One True Creator. When you check the tectonic plates you will find out that the so called middle-east is actually North East Africa. May The One True Creator increase us all in knowledge and understanding. And May The One True Creator Continue to Bless Mama Africa Always. HOTEP 🙏🏿 PS. CHECK 2 KINGS 19-9 & ISAIAH 37-9 . HERE THE BRETHREN OF THE HEBREWS, THE ETHIOPIANS WILL COME TO THEIR RESCUE FROM THEIR COMMON ENEMY. AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THESE PEOPLE IS CONFIRMED BY HISTORY. HISTORICAL FACTS ACTUALLY CONFIRMS WHAT THESE VERSES REALLY, REALLY WHERE TALKING ABOUT INSTEAD OF WHAT WE WERE TOLD. TRUTH MATTERS.
johnkevin1104 Yep. Israel didn't think they would ever be slaves again. Western Society doesn't think we could ever be conquered by any other Society. Look what is happening now.
It sooo is! Instead of Baal, Astoreth or Molech or Anat or whatever, it is buy, buy, buy stuff, Planned Parenthood, Hollywood, the news media. Just different names.
I think it’s important to note that the day of the Lord is not only describing the fall of Israel, but also death and the final judgement. That Amos warns us to turn to God because death is just behind the corner and you need to turn to God before that happens
Thank you for all that you do. These Old Testament books are rather complex and you do a great job of explaining them so that everyday folks like myself can grasp them.
I'm studying the prophet books, and your videos have brought so much more purpose to my studying. Thank you so much!! My eyes are so much more opened and the bible is coming to life to me in new ways.
Amazing. This book was a pretty hard read because of the scary images of God's justice among the nations but it's amazing to see that God punishes to restore at the end.
I like how u tell the story of the Bible in cartoon animation..i read the book of Amos today n bout 30 mins.. Your animation gives me a better understanding of the Holy Bible Thank u..👍
This video is very helpful in understanding some of the complex books in the Bible. Thank you for the good work you do. May the holy Spirit continue to inspire and lead you in Jesus mighty name 🙏🏽
Listened to Amos at the gym on repeat and read it at the laundromat and took notes. It's a unique book, and I'm excited to talk about it in my Bible class.
These videos are so well done, such HIGH quality. It is so refreshing and exciting to see Scripture presented visually at such top caliber and well-explained (so I can understand).
I have listened to this video so many times when I’m about to read Amos and each time I’m reminded of just how well it is illustrated and narrated. Thank you. Thank you Bible Project. I am eternally grateful for all of your work and I will continue to support your financially to whatever extent I can. God bless you!
Thank you! Last night I was about to read the book of Amos but, I was too tired. This morning I went to RUclips and I saw, “amos in the Bible.” I definitely enjoyed and learned a lot from it. Thanks again
wow theres no one like you guys, you care to bring such bread and water to our spirits and you really have the worlds best interest at heart. its like the trampled word of god has been gently lifted from the ground by you guys, dusted and revealed in its glory again
I simply love you graphics. They’re so much fun to watch the stories being created. Kudos to the designers and all involved in the making of these fun and informative videos.
you guys are awesome servant of the Mighty God. You make me more into loving reading bible. Keep your good work. God bless you in every aspect of life. Amen
What a wonderful visual description of the book of Amos! What a gift you have for explaining and simplifying this complicated book! May God bless you in this work!
Pastor Tim Mackie, I’ve been so very blessed by your teachings (posted on RUclips), and these short bible project videos- they are so enriching. Simply presented but so profound and deep. Thank God for you and everyone on the team. What prompted me to subscribe to your teachings and the Bible project is the core theme of having Jesus at the center. God bless you all. So encouraging to see you all employ your God given talents in such a remarkable way!
I use your videos to prepare for my Sunday school lessons. I also show them at the beginning of our studies to the class. “Thank you “ is not enough-will contribute to your efforts. Blessings to you.
Thank you so much. You got to make it simple by reading the book of Amos and through the Holy spirit, you share this light you received. May your light never go dim In Jesus Name. May many draw closer to the will of God in knowing his heart In Jesus Name.
ISAIAH 30 - AMOS “Who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things; speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.” (Isaiah 30:10) WORDD BY: FATHER "What does it mean to be a messenger? To be a messenger means to speak truth in love regardless if it offends people. Many cannot do this because they do not want to rock the boat too much for the sake of peace. But is it really peace they are keeping, or is it false peace because they are afraid of reactions? By not standing up for righteousness and speaking truth when you should, you help settle others into delusion, and prevent them from receiving the light they needed. I never asked you to please everyone but to be a faithful mouthpiece for Me. How do you know they won’t remember your words in the days ahead in which may save them from disaster? Being a messenger of light you will often offend people because of your love for the truth. But you must not be disheartened by this for My Son above all knew the greatest rejection. Your vision is not to save the world but to be a light. Therefore, when I send you on the field to minister as I sent Amos, you are going there to sow, to water and to harvest. Leave the rest in My hands. What does it mean to be a receiver? It means to listen to My voice through others; not just when good things are spoken, but when corrections and rebukes are given. If you view rebukes as a good thing you would yearn for them as any wise man would because you know the spiritual value in them. He who welcomes rebukes has made himself a disciple, for rebukes are a way of life. We cannot walk together unless you are in agreement with this. But if you stay in humility, receiving words when given and giving words when I speak them, then you will walk in the fruits of your harvest."
Thank you Bible Project! It amazes me so much to learn in this way! Brings it to life and better understanding! Man our God is soooo good ❤️and just and merciful
I just wanted to get in here and encourage this ministry. I have been using it regularly as a support to my Bible studies thank you so much for Doing this great work
Once again exceeding my expectations with these amazing videos! Thanks for helping me better understand and appreciate the book of Amos. Also, thanks for helping me understand God better and love him more
Excellent work. One pressing critique is that you don't mention Amos's intercession on Israel's behalf and God's resulting repentance (chapter 7). The prophet often seeks to change God's mind about the coming disaster (e.g., Exodus 32), so this seems to me to be an important aspect of the text. And in chapter 7, Amos succeeds in bringing about divine repentance for the first two visions. For example: “O Lord God, forgive, I beg you! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!” The Lord relented concerning this; “It shall not be,” said the Lord. That point notwithstanding, I'm impressed with this video!
I love your work and the illustrations are above and beyond. I've read a lot , not all, of the Bible and since I learn better this way I think it is wonderful. Thank you.
Thank You for your beautiful illustrations dear brother.. GOD Himself has appointed you for this.. You Helped us understand the Scriptures with the Help of the Holy Spirit.. Our Dear Lord JESUS Bless you and keep you safe always and your family 🙏❤️😊🤗
This is awesome. Last week I felt directed to study the book of Amos as a single project, in addition to my other Bible study. And lo and behold, I found your site. I've studied Amos before, but not like this.I am old, my eyesight is going, , and it's difficult to READ, so I appreciate your audio and visuals. I use BIBLE GATEWAY extensively, using multiple translations to deepen understanding (NIV, KJV, NKJV, ESV, etc). I will be going back to my Bible and continue studying every word of Amos for the next few weeks or so. My Bible is THE CHRISTIAN LIFE BIBLE (NKJV) by Nelson Publishers which has 52 step by step guidelines for living the Christian life. It has the best organized, systematic Bible studies. This Bible is out of print, but worth looking for. It changed my life. It's difficult to find a God-centered church nowadays, and even more challenging to find a group of people who are interested in Bible study. So, thank GOD for giving us YOU,, BIBLE GATEWAY, YT and the INTERNET. God bless you. MARANATHA!
my purpose in life - thank you so much for this - needed confirmation that what I've been dong for the lord has deeper meaning then just the great commission. Religion and idols have separated us from God long enough, and 'The Church' God has warned us about has finally been exposed for all their 'deeds against God' and man. thank you again for this confirmation.
Thank you so much for your faithfulness and effort to help us understand the Bible! I do not think you have any idea of the impact of your work. I just said to the Lord: “Lord, this is a hard book to read” and then I remembered your channel and decided to watch the book of Amos. Thank you for helping me Understand Love from Namibia 🇳🇦
Thanks for sharing the Gospel and simplifying it for us,as Christians we should share the Gospel too!!! even if we feel like everyone already knows this
God is Awesome. Thankyou to all my brothers and sisters in Christ, who help put these videos together so we can better understand the word of God. God bless you all. Praise Jesus.
phenomenal as always!!!! lots of blessings and increase to you team Bible Project!! you are doing a great work for the LORD may He refresh you for refreshing us with His Word.
Thank you for this video. Looking at the sins of Israel from the bible, I realised it is just a mirror and shows how terrible a sinner I am. I am equally stiff necked, stubborn and keep sinning just like the God's people of the past too. I'm hopeless. Thanks for explaining to us the context and historical background. Your explanation of the book of Obadiah is very clear too.
You offer wonderful insights in all your videos. I specifically listened to this one hoping you would elaborate on "the earthquake". It must of been a significant event because it's mentioned in the opening verse of the first chapter... "The words of Amos... two years before the earthquake" Amos 1. 1
Hey guys. You are truly God Send. I dont think you understand truly that God has given you power to do what you do and he will bless you in many folds. Thank you so much. You are awesome, and with the power of our God in heaven you are even more magnificent. Have a blessed year truly. Amen.
Listening to this after listening to Father Mike Schmitz Bible in a year podcast makes all of this so much more meaningful! amazing how all the pieces come together. If you know you know.
Thank you for the video! We are about to dive into a study on God's mission for us, an our mission to the world (Adult Sabbath School class).This is a solid reminder that we must call out sin and not try to make the message palatable. A lot of things in the Bible are tough to read, we don't want to think of our loving heavenly Father pouring out wrath and judgement. But that is part of his nature, he cannot allow us to continue to live in unrighteousness. And just as my children understand consequences, WE have consequences from Him. But we need to be like these prophets and speak truth as we are given. I'm going to save this video to use in my class if I can work it in.
This overview of Amos is very informative & super well illustrated! Great job guys! 👊🏽 One suggestion from my side: Present Jesus God’s Son in every OT/NT book overview. He is there! The supreme purpose of scripture is to testify of Christ. John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me."
Such a great recap! Thank you so much for these resources! They have been awesome visuals for the series in the Minor Prophets that I'm teaching my senior high students.
The book of Amos begins with and ends with the mention of an earthquake. This is appropriate as Amos is about to turn the world (of the North) upside down. Amos used as his tool satire. The book of AMos is a short book but powerful which resonates to this day.
Have seen this at least 3 times while reading the book. I think I will see another few!! hehehe God Bless! Besides the book also a commentary for each Chapter which is much bigger than the chapter itself!!
Just the moat awesome youtube channel EVER.... Our journeys nearly over brother and sisters. Theres only ONE way outta this mess is beleive the Gospel of Grace and let Jesus in your heart. 1Corinthians 15:1-4. So simple a child can understand. May God Bless you
I truly love the work you guys have been doing. It's everything I dream I could do but you are doing it way more awesome. I am praying for your ministry and always pray that the Lord would give you all wisdom and more creativity.
The irony is that Jeroboam II was successful in conquering the land, but in God's eyes, he was one of worst king in prophet's eyes. He ignored the poor and justice.
"For what does it profit a man if gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul" - Jesus. I guess that teaching of Jesus could relate to the situation that Jeroboam II was in. 🤔
I really like how you explain each and every story of the Bible Thank you you truly give the reader and listener a deeper understanding of the story thank you. In addition, I love the art work you use it very unique and gives the reader and listener a bigger story of the story thank you. 👼😇🥰🤗⛪🙏📿😇
i love this bible project!!! i listen to and watch the videos and they inspire me to read, read, read the bible -- then go back and watch the video, & on, & on. i just wish the narrator spoke more slowly. often difficult for me to keep up : ( still, i rate the ones i've heard 6 stars on a scale of 5. would be 7 with slower speech ; )
Justice flows like a river... That's a verse from this book. This book is definitely about a long time ago, but I don't think it's much different these days.
One of the most difficult things for we humans to accept is that Justice takes time. We are impatient. But we see in the flow of a river how it changes the landscape overtime

Thank you so much for these videos. Every time before I start reading a new book I have to watch these videos to help me understand.
Great advise...I usually read the conclusions of any book first, then read the chapter headings as sign posts, then read for answers to the questions that automatically aroused in my mind. So I'm reading for answers not words on a page..
However these videos are excellent snap shots 👍🏻🙏😄

For me the Book of Amos confirms something that the world is trying to hide from us today and that is who the real Hebrew Israelites were and who their not.

Today we are all looking up to some people who claim to be the Hebrew Israelites but when you read Amos 9 -7 it actually tells you a very different story.

In Amos 9 -7 the Ethiopians have been mentioned but I want those who don't know to understand that, this is not the Ethiopia of today that The One True Creator is talking about here.

It's difficult to find a God-centered church nowadays, and even more challenging to find a group of people who are interested in Bible study. So, thank GOD for giving us YOU,, BIBLE GATEWAY, YT and the INTERNET. God bless you. MARANATHA!
my purpose in life - thank you so much for this - needed confirmation that what I've been dong for the lord has deeper meaning then just the great commission. Religion and idols have separated us from God long enough, and 'The Church' God has warned us about has finally been exposed for all their 'deeds against God' and man. thank you again for this confirmation.
I thank you for these wonderful videos!! They help me to understand so much.
Thank you so much for your faithfulness and effort to help us understand the Bible! I do not think you have any idea of the impact of your work.
I just said to the Lord: “Lord, this is a hard book to read” and then I remembered your channel and decided to watch the book of Amos.
Thank you for helping me Understand
Love from Namibia 🇳🇦
After watching this, I once again, think, what an amazing and beautiful and merciful God.
This helped me in Theology homework and learn more about my faith, Thanks
Thanks for sharing the Gospel and simplifying it for us,as Christians we should share the Gospel too!!! even if we feel like everyone already knows this
I would love a separate video on 1st Kings 13. It's one of my favorite chapters in the Bible.
God is Awesome. Thankyou to all my brothers and sisters in Christ, who help put these videos together so we can better understand the word of God. God bless you all. Praise Jesus.
phenomenal as always!!!! lots of blessings and increase to you team Bible Project!! you are doing a great work for the LORD may He refresh you for refreshing us with His Word.
Thank you for this video. Looking at the sins of Israel from the bible, I realised it is just a mirror and shows how terrible a sinner I am. I am equally stiff necked, stubborn and keep sinning just like the God's people of the past too. I'm hopeless. Thanks for explaining to us the context and historical background. Your explanation of the book of Obadiah is very clear too.
So good! Thank you again. As I read through the Bible I review your videos as I finish each book. It makes my bible reading so much more impactful.
I did not watch this for any personal religious reason or general curiosity, I needed to study this for a class, THANK YOU!!!!
You offer wonderful insights in all your videos. I specifically listened to this one hoping you would elaborate on "the earthquake". It must of been a significant event because it's mentioned in the opening verse of the first chapter...
"The words of Amos... two years before the earthquake"
Amos 1. 1
Hey guys. You are truly God Send. I dont think you understand truly that God has given you power to do what you do and he will bless you in many folds. Thank you so much. You are awesome, and with the power of our God in heaven you are even more magnificent. Have a blessed year truly. Amen.
Excellent summary. I needed to re familiarize with Amos and this review woke up my memories.
This is just such a blessing to me. You have no idea.
I feel the same way, this project is amazing, makes me so happy!
Chanella nah
Chanella same!
Same here, I love this, so inspirational to me and my family 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Beautiful! Bravo! I'm excited to read the book of Amos
Listening to this after listening to Father Mike Schmitz Bible in a year podcast makes all of this so much more meaningful! amazing how all the pieces come together. If you know you know.
I love this channel! And May God bless you for the continual spread of Gods message 🤍
Thank you for the video! We are about to dive into a study on God's mission for us, an our mission to the world (Adult Sabbath School class).This is a solid reminder that we must call out sin and not try to make the message palatable. A lot of things in the Bible are tough to read, we don't want to think of our loving heavenly Father pouring out wrath and judgement. But that is part of his nature, he cannot allow us to continue to live in unrighteousness. And just as my children understand consequences, WE have consequences from Him. But we need to be like these prophets and speak truth as we are given. I'm going to save this video to use in my class if I can work it in.
This overview of Amos is very informative & super well illustrated! Great job guys! 👊🏽 One suggestion from my side: Present Jesus God’s Son in every OT/NT book overview. He is there! The supreme purpose of scripture is to testify of Christ. John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me."
Such a great recap! Thank you so much for these resources! They have been awesome visuals for the series in the Minor Prophets that I'm teaching my senior high students.
The book of Amos begins with and ends with the mention of an earthquake. This is appropriate as Amos is about to turn the world (of the North) upside down. Amos used as his tool satire. The book of AMos is a short book but powerful which resonates to this day.

I truly love the work you guys have been doing. It's everything I dream I could do but you are doing it way more awesome. I am praying for your ministry and always pray that the Lord would give you all wisdom and more creativity.
Really enjoying these videos about the prophets !!! God bless !!!♥️♥️♥️
God is so amazing! Thank you for publishing this video!
The irony is that Jeroboam II was successful in conquering the land, but in God's eyes, he was one of worst king in prophet's eyes. He ignored the poor and justice.
"For what does it profit a man if gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul" - Jesus.
I guess that teaching of Jesus could relate to the situation that Jeroboam II was in. 🤔
Praise God Thank you so much and also want to learn how we could read the bible in depth like the way you teach
Another great vid. Your pace and volume is GREAT as well. Thank you.
I really like how you explain each and every story of the Bible Thank you you truly give the reader and listener a deeper understanding of the story thank you. In addition, I love the art work you use it very unique and gives the reader and listener a bigger story of the story thank you. 👼😇🥰🤗⛪🙏📿😇
Love these videos. It gives clear explanations while keeping you interested. Keep it up!
I never knew just how much God hates selfishness. Thank you Bible project.
I think an argument can be made that sin and selfishness are the same thing
Greatly blessed
Thanks Lord Jesus for the great work these blessed group of people are doing. GOD BLESS YOU abundantly Bible project.
I really appreciate this very simple breakdown and explanation. I have subscribed and plan to follow and learn more. Thank God for you❤
Honour and glory and power are all yours Jesus
i love this bible project!!! i listen to and watch the videos and they inspire me to read, read, read the bible -- then go back and watch the video, & on, & on. i just wish the narrator spoke more slowly. often difficult for me to keep up : (
still, i rate the ones i've heard 6 stars on a scale of 5. would be 7 with slower speech ; )
Beautifully done!! Amos is my favorite minor prophet!!
this is a very simple but excellent explanation of this book in 7 minutes, Well done, thank you for this! I appreciate it from Montreal, CDN.
Thanks for explaining this so plainly. Much more was going on than I got from just reading it myself
I am always so blessed while watching this videos, it's amazing
tasyliciouse nah
More too! 💙💙💙 🕊 🕊 🕊
Amen!!!
I love these videos. They really help me to understand. I just finished reading Amos. Amen.
Today, Amos was talked about.
Amos reminds us that just as we hunger and thirst for food and water, our souls hunger and thirst for the word of God. Furthermore, we should heed it.
Justice flows like a river... That's a verse from this book. This book is definitely about a long time ago, but I don't think it's much different these days.
One of the most difficult things for we humans to accept is that Justice takes time. We are impatient. But we see in the flow of a river how it changes the landscape overtime
@broganmckoko the original SJWs, the prophets 😮
