Amos 3:7
_ _ his secret — namely, His purpose hidden from all, until it is revealed to His prophets (compare Genesis 18:17). In a wider sense, God’s will is revealed to all who love God, which it is not to the world (Psalms 25:14; John 15:15; John 17:25, John 17:26).
_ _ unto his servants — who being servants cannot but obey their Lord in setting forth His purpose (namely, that of judgment against Israel) (Jeremiah 20:9; Ezekiel 9:11). Therefore the fault which the ungodly find with them is groundless (1 Kings 18:17). It aggravates Israel’s sin, that God is not about to inflict judgment, without having fully warned the people, if haply they might repent. |
Amos 3:7
Will do nothing — Usually the Lord doth no great thing for or against his people, without giving warning of it before it comes. |
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he (h) revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
(h) God does not deal with the Israelites as he does with other people: for he always warns them before of his plagues by his Prophets. |
