Amos 1:2
2 And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
roar
"Roar," etc.
Compare (Isaiah 42:13); (Jeremiah 25:30); (Hosea 11:10); (Hosea 11:11); (Joel 3:16).
It will be found that wherever the phrase occurs it is connected with the destruction of Gentile dominion
(see "Times of the Gentiles," (Luke 21:24).
( See Scofield) - (Revelation 16:19)
and the blessing of Israel in the kingdom. Without a doubt a near fulfilment upon Syria occurred (2 Kings 14:28) but the expression, "the Lord will roar," looks forward to a vaster fulfilment.
( See Scofield) - (Joel 1:4).
