Amos 2:6-16; 5:4-6; 9:11-15. Dan Kroon. The prophets play a crucial role in the story of the Bible. They connect the partial kingdom of Israel with the perfected kingdom of God. They minister during the height, the decline and the seeming death of that partial kingdom. They look to the past (covenant, redemption, law and blessing) and to the future (judgment, new covenant and salvation) and how both should affect the present. But ultimately, they address an irreparably broken kingdom with the hope of God’s miraculous renewal and restoration. And as we saw last week, it’s not an external fix, but an internal one. A fix for human hearts that are otherwise unfixable.
