NASB | Amos 8:11 ¶ "Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord GOD, "When I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, But rather for hearing the words of the LORD. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Amos 8:11 ¶ "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "When I will send hunger over the land, Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water, But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the LORD. |
Bible Question: In the book of Amos chapt. 8 verse 11 when he says he will send a famine of hearing of the word, was he referring to the second coming? |
Bible Answer: This prophecy could have double meaning. By that I mean it applied to the future event in Amos' time frame. And also could apply today. Many cite this passage as being fulfilled today as many pulpits are preaching warm fuzzy, feel good, think better of yourself messages and forsaking the true exposition of the Word. |
