¹ Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me, and beholde, a basket of Summer fruit.

² And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I sayde, A basket of Summer fruite. Then said the Lord vnto mee, The ende is come vpon my people of Israel; I will not againe passe by them anymore.

³ And the songs of the Temples shalbe howlings in that day, sayth the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in euery place, they shall cast them foorth with silence.

⁴ ¶ Heare this, O ye that swallow vp the needy, euen to make the poore of the land to faile,

⁵ Saying, When will the newe Moone be gone, that we may sell corne? and the Sabbath, that wee may set forth wheat, making the Ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

⁶ That wee may buy the poore for siluer, & the needie for a paire of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheate?

⁷ The Lord hath sworne by the excellencie of Iacob, Surely I will neuer forget any of their workes.

⁸ Shall not the land tremble for this, and euery one mourne that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise vp wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

⁹ And it shall come to passe in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the Sunne to go downe at noone, and I will darken the earth in the cleare day.

¹⁰ And I will turne your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation, and I will bring vp sackcloth vpon all loynes, and baldnesse vpon euery head: and I will make it as the mourning of an onely sonne, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

¹¹ ¶ Behold, the daies 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.

¹² And they shall wander from Sea to Sea, and from the North euen to the East they shall runne to and fro, to seeke the worde of the Lord, and shall not finde it.

¹³ In that day shall the faire virgines and young men faint for thirst.

¹⁴ They that sweare by the sinne of Samaria, and say, Thy God, O Dan, liueth, and the manner of Beer-sheba liueth, euen they shall fall, and neuer rise vp againe.

I see that USA, we are taking God out of all places. When we take God out, the USA is gone. Take and learn the word of God, and all will go well.

Amos 8.9, does “the beginning of the Day of the Lord” consist of 3 days of darkness: “.. I will make the sun go down at noon, and darkened the earth in broad daylight..” Millions of unbelievers will die. Some believers will perish, but they will be counted among the martyrs.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." For the days are coming and they are coming no one can stop them or run away from the days.

These days are definitely here. All these new versions of the Bible are causing so much confusion which is not of God.(1Cor 14:33). If the King James Bible is God's inspired perfect word, which it is, why change it?

Harold Robinson's Amos Chapter 8 comment about verse 11 on 12/21/2010, 10:08pm...

I think the days are here. I went in search of a nice King James Version study Bible the other day for my daughter for a Christmas present. I spent a good part of the day, because most stores, even Christian bood stores have filled their shelves with every other version known to man.

I think there's nothing in the text suggesting that it is about bad preachers in the modern church. I can se the temptation to do that, but it is uncalled for in the text.
