walk humbly with thy god- m itali 0 the lesson a a whole approach to the lesson the bible is the only book o prophesy in the world while there are certain indefinite predictions in many of the socalled sacred books of the great religions of the east it is only in the holy scrip tures that we have clear and posi tive prophesies which have been fulfilled already in exact accord with what was written or shall yet be fulfilled in connection with the events of the last days and the second advent and reign of our lord jesus christ but prophesy is more than mere prediction of the future it is the revelation of the mind of god con cerning conditions and circum stances of which he either ap proves or disapproves it has been aptly said that prophesy is not simply foretelling but forthtelling how often in the books of the pro phets we read that the word of the lord came to one and another f his servants and that in a pecial authoritative way for otir present lesson we have selec tions from two old testament prophets amos and mieah amos sought to bring the truth of cod to bear upon the consciences of the people of israel and judah at a time of great declension and indifference his strong virile messages wore unheeded by the mass of the people though others a mere remnant responded to them and turned to the lord mieah dealt more with the glor ious future which god had pro mised to his people he foretold the coming of messiah and indicated the actual city in which he was to be born it was this scripture that the scribes in jerusalem brought to herods attention matt 246 mic o2 but though familiar with the prophesies they rejected him of whom they spoke mieah also set forth the glorious reign in righteousness of the coming king and told of a time when wars should cease and peace prevail throughout the world under the beneficent reign of gods anointed the historical srting amos though a herdman of tekoa in judah amos 11 was sent by god to testify to the north ern kingdom when jeroboam ii was reigning in samaria at that time uzziah was king of judah so amos ministered somewhat earlier that isaiah who dates his prophe tic call in the year that king uzziah died isa gl so far as the record goes amos was without any for mal education he was a country boy who earned his living tending cattle and sheep and gathering wild figs chap 711 the syco more mentioned was a wild fig tree to this young man came the call of god separating him from his ordinary avocation and com missioning him to go forth as a prophet to proclaim the word of the lord mieah prophesied in the eigth century before christ being con temporary with isaiah both of these prophets denounced intem perance in no uncertain terms verse by verse amos 521 i despise your feast days religious formalities are revolting to god when not accom panied by righteousness of life and true selfjudgment verse 22 though ye offer me burntofferings and your meat offerings i will not accept them samuel declared long before that obedience is better than sacrifice the outward forms and ceremonies of religion mean nothing to god if the heart is not right with him verse 23 i will not hear the melody of thy viols beautiful an thems and wellplayed instruments bring no joy to god when wicked ness goes on unrebuked and un- repented of verse 24 let judgment run down as waters and righteousness as a mighty stream it is this that pleases god when those who call themselves by his name carry out the principles of justice and prac tice righteousness stouffville machine tool works telephone 253 rear of cnr station electric and acetylene welding farm machinery s machinery repairs chap 710 amaziah the priest who was what we might call chap lain to king jeroboam ii of israel resented the rugged prophet from judah interfering as he consider ed it with the affairs of his parish he complained that the land was was not able to bear the keen cut ting ministry of amos verse 11 amos saith jero boam shall die by the sword and israel be led away captive to amaziah such predictions were not only pessimistic but treason able instead of facing the condi tions that called them forth and seeking to rectify them he vould send the prophet back to judah verse 12 go flee thee away into the land of judah and there prophesy it would be a relief to get rid of the man of god whose scathing utterances were calculated to arouse and alarm the backslidden people of the northern kingdom verse 13 prophesy not again any more in bethel for it is the kings chapel and it is the kings court to amaziah amos was an unauthorized upstart who had no right to interfere in the ecclesias tical matters of the realm over which he himself was the authori tative representative of the king verse 11 i was no prophet but an herdman in reply amos makes no pretension to scholarly standing or priestly pre ferment he acknowledges that he i was but a farmers boy when god laid his hand upon him and chose him to be his messenger to both israel and judah verse 15 the lord took me and said unto me go pro phesy unto my people israel this was the basis of amoss authority he was called and commissioned by god and so he went forth fear less to proclaim the message given to him mieah 41 in the last days the mountain of the house of the lord shall be established here we have a clear prediction of the coming kingdom when jerusalems sorrows will be over and she will become a means of blessing for the whole earth verse 2 the law shall go forth of zion and the word of the lord from jerusalem do not con found zion and jerusalem with the church of this age the prophesy has to do directly with restored israel in the day when messiah shall return and his kingdom be established over all the earth verse 3 neither shall they learn war any more at long last the centuries of strife and discord among nations shall come to an end when the prince of peace takes the reins of government into his own pierced hands there will dawn a warless world when all mankind will be brought into bles sing and rone shall sees to harm another veioe i they snail sit every man uitier his vine and fig tree and none shall make them afraid ideal economic conditions will prevail throughout the world when jesus reigns in righteousness god has declared it and he will never go back on his word the heart of the lesson it is a great mistake to suppose that god finds pleasure in religious rites and ordinances when those who thus profess to draw near to him are guilty of unrighteousness in their attitude toward their fel low men and are simply using the forms of piety to cover up their hypocritical behavior he demands truth in the inward parts his word obeyed would solve all the prob lems from which society is suffer ing today when that word is ig nored- or flagrantly cast to one side disaster must inevitably fol low when our lord returns in glory he will put down all iniquity and judge every evil power then the principles laid down in the pro-
