“My name will be great among the nations. They will worship me from where the sun rises in the east to where it sets in the west. In every place, incense and pure offerings will be brought to me. That is because my name will be great among the nations,” says the LORD. “But you treat my name as if it were not holy. You say my altar is ‘unclean.’ And you look down on its food. You say, ‘What a heavy load our work is!’ And you turn your nose up as if you hate working for me,” says the LORD who rules over all.( Malachi.1) … The LORD and King announces, “At that time I will make the sun go down at noon. The earth will become dark in the middle of the day. I will turn your holy feasts into times for sobbing. I will turn all of your songs into crying. You will have to wear black clothes. You will shave your heads. I will make you sob as if your only son had died. The end of that time will be like a bitter day.” The LORD and King announces, “The days are coming when I will send hunger through the land. But people will not be hungry for food. They will not be thirsty for water. Instead, they will be hungry to hear a message from me. People will wander from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean. They will travel from north to east. They will look for a message from me. But they will not find it. (Amos … Turn to the LORD before it’s too late. Call out to him while he’s still ready to help you. Let the one who is evil stop doing evil things. And let him quit thinking evil thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD. The LORD will show him his tender love. Let him turn to our God. He is always ready to forgive. “My thoughts are not like your thoughts. And your ways are not like my ways,” announces the LORD. “The heavens are higher than the earth. And my ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts. The rain and the snow come down from the sky. They do not return to it without watering the earth. They make plants come up and grow. The plants produce seeds for farmers. They also produce food for people to eat. The words I speak are like that. They will not return to me without producing results. They will accomplish what I want them to. They will do exactly what I sent them to do. (Isaiah 55)
