Amos Prophecy about Damascus, Gaza, Tyre (Lebanon), Teman (Yemen), Ammon (Jordan) – In a Single Chapter

In a single chapter of the Bible, prophet Amos prophesizes about all “actors” engaged in hostilities against Isarel (currently and possibly in the future).

In a single chapter (Amos 1), the Bible prophet delivers end-times prophecy about all actors, currently engaged in hostilities against the Jewish state (Israel).

Attached below is a PDF file with all relevant verses from Amos (Hebrew/English).

The names of the “actors” are colored yellow, while relevant terms (like the cities of the Philistines in Gaza) are marked gray.

Added to the list is Jordan (residing where the biblical Ammon lived), with its capital, Amman (Rabbat Ammon in Hebrew), mentioned as Rabbah (marked gray). Currently, Jordan is not engaged in hostilities against Israel.

Also mentioned are hostages, in relation to Gaza (“whole captivity”).

Egypt, neighbor of Israel, is not related to at all in this prophecy (neither is Egypt currently engaged in hostilities towards Israel).

The leader of Ammon (Jordan) is denoted “King” (and solely here). His destiny – “their king shall go into exile”.
