The Battle That Still Divides Israel : Amos vs Amaziah

What happens when God's Word confronts religious tradition? Amos – עָמ֔וֹס Part 8 In this study, Messianic Leader J. Isaac Gabizon examines the conflict between Amos and Amaziah and shows how this struggle continues to this day. The battle is not merely between two men but between divine revelation and human tradition, between the Word of God and religious systems that resist it. In the middle of Amos' five prophetic visions, the narrative suddenly pauses to record a remarkable confrontation between the prophet Amos and Amaziah, the priest of Bethel. At first glance, this encounter may seem like a historical interruption, but it reveals one of the central reasons for Israel's coming judgment: the rejection of God's Word by a corrupt religious establishment.
