Day 169

Amos 8; Amos 9; Obadiah 1; Jonah 1; Jonah 2; Jonah 3; Jonah 4


Amos prophesies the downfall of Israel. There will be a famine of hearing the word of the Lord. Israel will be sifted among all nations. In the last days, the people of Israel will be gathered again into their own land, and it will become productive. Obadiah prophesies the downfall of Edom. Saviors will stand upon Mount Zion. Jonah is sent to call Nineveh to repentance. He flees on a ship, is cast into the sea, and is swallowed by a great fish. Jonah prays to the Lord, and the fish vomits him out on dry ground. Jonah prophesies the downfall of Nineveh. The people repent, and the city is saved. Jonah is displeased with the Lord for his mercy upon the people. The Lord rebukes him.
