The Rise and Fall of Kingdoms

We begin the book of Amos in this episode which starts with a number of judgments against nations surrounding Israel and Judah and then turns to judgment of Israel as well. Those kingdoms are all doomed to fall because they reject God as the true King! And then Jesus in Matthew 13 tells us a number of parables about the Kingdom of Heaven that show us what his Kingdom will be like!Passages in this episode: Amos 1-3, Matthew 13
