The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearنموونە
Week 24. Day 5. Amos 7-9, Obadiah.
Amos 7-9 These chapters contain warnings of the future judgment: the ‘day of the Lord’ (even though this phrase is not used here, there are repeated references to ‘that day’ (e.g. 8:9-13)
Note 8:9 speaking of the day of the Lord. Can you think how is this fulfilled?
Note the hope in 9:11-15. What picture is painted here?
Like in 3:18, the reference to sweet wine suggests that these are the prophecies that Jesus was pointing to himself as fulfilling when he turned water into wine (John 4).
Obadiah
This concerns judgment on Edom (neighbours to Israel, descendants of Esau.) They are particularly condemned for not helping Israel when she was under attack (v10-14)
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
About this Plan
The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
