Amos 4 - 6

God continues to lay out His charges against the nation of Israel.  God has lovingly tried to bring correction to the nation, yet in spite of His gentle discipline, the nation will not repent or seek to return to the ways of God they have abandoned.  For this reason, Israel is commanded to "prepare to meet your God."  This does not sound like a friendly meeting!  Israel has laid out for her the many ways in which God will bring His people back to Himself.  He is mighty enough to accomplish all that He promises; and loving enough to desire Israel's return.
