Amos 7:7-8

Jesus is the plumb line. He marks where heaven met earth. He is the only way to the Father and in Him is the fullness of the Godhead.

Just believe.

Amos 7:7-8

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.

The third vision involves a metaphor for construction or demolition. The Hebrew word translated “plumb line” is unique to this passage, so the precise meaning is uncertain. Related words in other Semitic languages suggest a meaning of “lead” or “tin.” The association of the word with a wall in this context supports the meaning of “plumb line,” where a small metal weight is attached to a string to determine whether a wall is straight. The plumb line metaphorically represents an external standard to distinguish right from wrong. Faithlife BIble.

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. Isaac, the father of Jacob, represented all Israel in Amos’s day. NKJ Bible.
