1 | but [a famine] for hearing the words of | Amos 8:11 | gbennett76 | 95429 | ||
A complete famine from the word of God. Think about what this means. If "the word of God" refers to the written scriptures, as the Protestants believe, then this prophecy could never be fulfilled since copies of the scripture have always existed. It must therefore refer to the living prophets – there would come a time when all the prophets would be gone. When Was This Prophecy To Be Fulfilled? Does it refer to the period between the Old and New Testament? No – the context is clearly "last days": verse 9 refers to "in that day" and the sun being darkened, classic "end of the world" language. So, in the last days there would be a total and complete loss of the truth. We know from Revelation 11 that there will be prophets at the very end, so this must refer to a time before that. This prophecy speaks of a great apostasy, and (by implication) an eventual restoration, exactly as taught by the "Mormon" church. |
