saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered./Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down."
Here we have an insight into the narrative mode of the Spirit. This shaking of the door posts is different from what we read in the vision of Isaiah.. Amos sees heaven as the lintel of the door posts, and it is to this Haggai refers,"For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land."( Haggai 2.6;Heb.12.26-27) Lintel refers to heaven and what do the posts signify? "The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it."(Ps.75.3) This is Person specific. I am Alpha and Omega and it is in this sense we have this verse.It is about judgment. " But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."(75.7,9)
While we discussed the Vision of Dry bones we saw one group endued with power." And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord." Ezek.37.14. This new spirit refers to the glorified spiritual bodies."But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob." As for the horns of the wicked, they are for outer darkness.
" And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them."(Amos.9.3)
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
In the second para beginning, "Here we have an insight into the narrative mode of the Spirit" I left it incomplete.. Pleas include the rest to make the idea clear: "we have an example of the kangaroo event' where one event is set within another. A classic example of the wanderings of the Israelites is covered in the larger narrative of our wandering as pilgrims and sojourners on the earth. Thus our heart and our response to the living God is worked into the judgment of heaven and earth."
Addendum.
At the end, this quote:
"Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord./For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth."(Amos.9.8-9)
