Amos 7:7-8

 Jesus is the plumb line where God meets man. The line drawn in the sands of time where the spiritual meets the physical. He is the only way to the Father. He gives eternal life to those who accept His death in place of theirs with shouts of peace, peace to the people on earth. Jesus makes straight the way to the Father.

                                                                                                                                                                              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.

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.

¹⁷Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place. 

Isaiah 28:17

⁸The Lord has ⁴purposed to destroy The wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out a line; He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying; Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament; They languished together. 

Lamentations 2:8

¹⁸Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy. 

Micah 7:18
