Amos 8:11-12 Famine of hearing the Word
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 9:53 pm
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Amo 8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
Our topic is about famine not of bread and thirst of water but in hearing the words of the Lord.
We know that faith comes from hearing, Romans 10:17-19 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Jesus never said he was the Word of God, but He preaches the Word of God. Jesus ate the flesh which is the word. He did not eat his own human flesh. He said that it is the spirit that quickened, flesh profits nothing. John 6:63.
This turn my mind to concentrate to John 1:1 Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (other Bible commentaries interpreted the last phrase ”and the Word was God” and the Word was Divine.) which was confirmed in Luke 4:34 Holy One of God.
The Word being Divine and Holy is very substantial in our faith for by this Word we shall be Sanctify John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. Jesus says " I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
A true Christian, therefore, was a Spiritual believer who was an initiate into the doctrine of the indwelling Logos/Christ John 1:14 and were those whose minds were enlightened to the degree where they were able to understand the inner meaning of the “Word” John 1:1
The problem is that we fail to understand these spiritual terms because we view life and the scriptures with a quasi-Darwinist mindset -- i.e., three-dimensionally. Christians, therefore, fail to comprehend the very essence of the word they use to describe themselves, because they are unaware of the realms beyond the three dimensions of a man.
They are for the most part unaware of their pre-existent soul and spirit, and they therefore relate the word Christ to an historical person -- i.e., Jesus. Further, because Christians have such a limited understanding of the meaning of the word Christ, it is therefore impossible for modern believers to perceive the manner in which God reveals Himself to people the world over.
John1:1 is very hard to understand and this verse were not being discuss deeply because almost all preacher of the church does not also clear about this topic. WHY ? this is what the Scripture says;
Jeremiah 2:8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
