Amos
"We dare not mention the name of the LORD."
Text: Amos 6:10
A GRIM PICTURE
A grim picture of what would take place when Israel would be invaded and conquered by the Assyrians was described in this text. This was a solemn reminder to Israel of the Day of the Lord that would befall the unrepentant nation!
“Then it shall come to pass,
that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
And when a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies,
picks up the bodies to take them out of the house,
he will say to one inside the house, ‘Are there any more with you?’
Then someone will say, ‘None.’
And he will say, ‘Hold your tongue!
For we dare not mention the name of the LORD.”
Amos 6:9-10
