Amos 7:7-9

Jesus is the plumb line where God met mankind. 

There is no other way that man could be saved except at the foot of the cross and the salvation provided in Christ Jesus.. A priceless gift to us from the Father…that cost us nothing except repentance and acceptance but cost Him everything!  

He willingly gave up His life because there was no other way that man could be saved.

A plumb line is a string with a weight tied to one end, used to establish a vertical line so that a wall can be built straight.

God asked Amos what he saw, then explained the vision’s meaning. Unlike the first two visions, God did not give Amos opportunity to intercede, nor did He relent. These judgments would be executed. The plumb line of God’s revelation in the law had been set in the midst of Israel for many generations. Now God would stretch a plumb line to demonstrate how “crooked” the people’s observance of His commands had been. The high places refer to temples, groves, and other shrines dedicated mostly to pagan deities. NKJ Bible.

Amos 7:7–9 (NKJV) 

⁷ Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. ⁸ And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”

And I said, “A plumb line.”

Then the Lord said:

“Behold, I am setting a plumb line

In the midst of My people Israel;

I will not pass by them anymore.

⁹ The high places of Isaac shall be desolate,

And the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste.

I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
