Amos 4:6-12 – God’s Warnings in National Disasters: Amos’…
Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser.
Amos 4:6-12
(6) And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. (7) And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. (8) So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. (9) I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. (10) I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. (11) I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. (12) Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
King James Version Change email Bible version
What are we to think of the disasters this nation has been experiencing of late? If they are not direct signs of the apocalypse, what are they? What God says to Israel through Amos.
Between verses 7 and 12, God mentions sending them drought, blight and mildew, locusts, plague, military defeat, and divine punishment for sin, yet after every disaster, Israel still refused to repent. So, God warns them in verse 12 that He would bring on them a major judgment—His wrath, their Day of the Lord, a day of “darkness, and not light” (Amos 5:18-20).
This passage suggests that the disasters we have recently seen are warnings to the nation that God is aware of its sin and the people’s drifting from Him. He is trying to get their attention so that they realize that they need to repent and return to Him. These disasters, then, are precursor judgments and threats, prods to motivate repentance and a restored relationship.
The ultimate judgment of God comes later, and Christ’s return happens according to the prophecies recorded in Scripture. They are straightforward—not esoteric, not discernible only to biblical numerologists or experts of some mysterious Bible code. The prophecies will be fulfilled in real, visible, unmistakable events.
— Richard T. Ritenbaugh

SI:AM | Canes Storm Back to Tie Series in…
DAN GARTLAND
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. Just a friendly reminder to any Knicks fans who plan on packing into outdoor watch parties for Game 2: Be sure to remember to hydrate. It’s supposed to be 90 degrees out today.
In today’s SI:AM:
⚾ Judge sidelined with rib injury
🏇 Golden Tempo’s history-making trainer
Another wild Stanley Cup Final game
James Guillory/Imagn Images
For 50 minutes last night, it looked like the mighty Hurricanes would be heading to Vegas facing a worrying two-game deficit in the Stanley Cup Final. But then the Canes flipped Game 2 on its head.
Carolina trailed the Golden Knights 2–0 after two periods and finally broke the seal with a little less than 10 minutes left in the third. That was the first of three goals the Canes scored in a five-minute span to take a 3–2 lead.
The Canes can thank Vegas coach John Tortorella for their third goal. With five minutes left in the third, there was a frantic scrum in front of the Carolina net that resulted in the puck trickling behind the goal line. The on-ice officials ruled that it was not a goal, so Tortorella decided to challenge the call. After a review, the officials ruled that it was not a goal because Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen had been interfered with and the puck didn’t cross the line until the whistle had been blown. The consequence of a failed coach’s challenge is a two-minute minor penalty for delay of game. Tortorella’s decision put the Canes on the power play, and it took them less than 30 seconds to take the lead.
The Golden Knights recovered, though, and scored the tying goal with less than two minutes on the clock and their net empty. That sent the game to overtime, where Seth Jarvis scored the winning goal for Carolina, just four minutes into the extra period.
“That was the best feeling in the world,” Jarvis said of his winning goal. “I’ve imagined doing that a lot. To be able to do it in real life is awesome.”
Game 3 will be Saturday night in Vegas. The Knights’ win in Game 1 flipped the home ice advantage in their favor, but they could be without a key player. Brayden McNabb, one of their top four defensemen, left Game 2 in the first period after taking an 87 mph slap shot directly to the face. The team has not provided any updates on his injury, other than to say that he was taken to a hospital.
Bad news for baseball’s best hitter
Brad Penner/Imagn Images
Aaron Judge is going on the injured list.
The Yankees announced that Judge has a stress fracture in the first rib on his right sideand will be out indefinitely. He will be reassessed four to six weeks and is expected to return this season.
Judge hasn’t played since Sunday due to an injury that the Yankees at first had a hard time defining. The team initially said it was a bone bruise in his rib. On Thursday afternoon, they announced that he’d be seeing a vascular specialist to rule out thoracic outlet syndrome. He had seen a different specialist earlier in the week and had undergone a CT scan and an MRI.
Judge’s injury is obviously a big blow to a Yankees team that remains neck and neck with the Rays in the AL East. The three-time MVP has been less superhuman this season than he has been in previous years, but he remains a key part of the New York lineup. The good news for the Yankees is that their offense has been less Judge-centric: Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger have been having excellent seasons at the plate. Reinforcements could be coming soon, too. Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez are nearing returnsfrom injuries that have kept them out for much of the season.
History at the French Open
Susan Mullane/Imagn Images
Maja Chwalińska is the ultimate Cinderella story.
Chwalińska beat Diana Shnaider in the semifinals at the French Open yesterday to become the second qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final in the Open Era (since 1968).
If you’re not a tennis fan, here’s why that’s so incredible. Chwalińska, a 24-year-old from Poland, was ranked 116th in the world before the start of the tournament. That means that she didn’t earn an automatic spot in the main draw. Instead, she had to win three qualifying matches to earn one of 16 qualifier spots.
The only other qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 U.S. Open. Raducanu, who was 18 at the time, beat Leylah Fernandez in the final. No qualifier has ever reached a men’s Grand Slam final.
Chwalińska benefited from a chaotic, upset-filled tournament. Amanda Anisimova, the No. 6 seed, lost in the third round to Diane Parry, who Chwalińska then beat in the fourth round. The No. 1 player in the world, Aryna Sabalenka, lost in the quarterfinals to Shnaider, Chwalińska’s semifinal opponent. As a result, Chwalińska has not faced a player seeded better than 22nd during her run. The final will be her toughest test yet. Mirra Andreeva, who has now advanced at least as far as the quarters at each of the past three French Opens, is ranked No. 8 in the world.

👀 The top five …
… things I saw last night:
5. The celebration after Texas defeated Texas Tech to claim its second straight softball championship.
4. A bizarre inside-the-park home run for the Athletics’ Shea Langeliers. Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong lost the ball in the lights and just stood still as it dropped in behind him. Langeliers also had a traditional over-the-fence homer two innings earlier. The Cubs came back to win, though, scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth. Crow-Armstrong walked it off with a two-out single.
3. Ketel Marte’s towering walk-off homeragainst the Dodgers.
2. Mitch Marner’s amazing assist on the Golden Knights’ opening goal.
1. Giants center fielder Drew Gilbert’s perfectly timed jump to rob a homer.
