Welcome back to another episode of Endtime Weekly! With your host Dom: and today in Episode 4 “DAYS OF TERRIBLE,” we’re venturing into one of the most intense and graphic sections of the Book of Amos Chapter 6, where we will confront the dangers of complacency, followed by Amos’ terrifying visions in Chapter 7, which remind us of the consequences of ignoring God’s messages. These warnings are not just relics of the past; they resonate in our present, weaving their way into the symbolism of Wormwood—a stark reminder of the bitterness that arises when we turn a blind eye to injustice.
In today's show summary Dominic will walk the audience through the chapters of Amos 6, 7 and Revelation 8
Amos was a humble shepherd from Tekoa, someone no one would’ve expected to carry such a heavy burden. But God used him—an ordinary man—to deliver a message that would shake the foundations of Israel. And that message? It’s not just for ancient Israel. It’s for us Today.
Warning: The content we’re about to explore contains intense and disturbing imagery that may be unsettling for some listeners.
We’ll be discussing themes of violence, suffering, and the devastating consequences of rebellion, particularly as depicted in Amos 6 & 7. If you feel that this might be triggering or distressing for you, I encourage you to take care of yourself and if needed step away for a moment. Here at Endtime Weekly: Your well-being is important, and it’s perfectly okay to set boundaries around what you’re ready to hear.
In Revelation 8:10-11, Wormwood falls like a blazing torch, poisoning the waters doesn't it?. But this isn’t just about physical water; it’s about spiritual decay—the fallout of turning away from God. The world is drinking from these bitter waters, leading to the spiritual death of many. Look around: we’re witnessing spiritual corruption, false teachings, and moral decay—all around us, poisoning the souls of millions.
Wormwood symbolizes the bitter consequences of a world steeped in sin and rebellion.
