Amos 8:8
"Because of this will not the land quake and everyone who dwells in it mourn? Indeed, all of it will rise up like the Nile, and it will be tossed about and subside like the Nile of Egypt."
Because of; Trampling the needy, doing away with the humble, cheating customers, mocking the Sabbath, taking from the poor, forcing the poor into slavery to repay debts, selling spoiled wheat for profit, being filled with pride, greed and idolatry - Israel will recede, like the Nile river.
Just like the Israel of old, every one of us needs to be shaken out of our complacency, our pride. We are not as efficient or as good as we think we are.
The Truth
“So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.” (Luke 16:22-23)
