[1] {Prepare war}
Verses 9-14 refer to Armageddon; verses 15,16 are parallel with Joel
2.30-32. From verses 9 to 16 we have a resume of Joel 2.9-32.

Scofield Reference Notes (1917) Book Introductions AMOS
Amos, a Jew, but prophesying (B.C. 776-763) in the northern kingdom (1.1;
7.14,15) exercised his ministry during the reign of Jeroboam II, an able
but idolatrous king who brought his kingdom to the zenith of its power.
Nothing could seem more improbable than the fulfilment of Amos' warnings;
yet within fifty years the kingdom was utterly destroyed. The vision of
Amos is, however, wider than the northern kingdom, including the whole
"house of Jacob."
Amos is in four parts: I. Judgments on the cities surrounding Palestine,
1.1-2.3. II. Judgements on Judah and Israel, 2.4-16. III. Jehovah's
controversy with "the whole family" of Jacob, 3.1-9.10. IV. The future
glory of the Davidic kingdom, 9.11-15.

[1] {roar}
"Roar," etc. Cf.
# Isa 42:13 Jer 25:30-33 Ho 11:10,11 Joe 3:16
It will be found that wherever the phrase occurs it is connected with the
destruction of Gentile dominion (see "Times of the Gentiles,"
# Lu 21:24
» See Note "Re 16:19"
and the blessing of Israel in the kingdom. Without a
doubt a near fulfilment upon Syria occurred
# 2Ki 14:28
but the expression, "the Lord will roar," looks forward to a vaster
fulfilment.

[1] {For three}
The judgments on Judah and Israel were fulfilled as to Judah in the 70
years' captivity; as to Israel (the northern kingdom) in the world-wide
dispersion which still continues.
