Amos asks a series of rhetorical questions to call Israel out on their idolatry and the consequences that would soon follow. Even though they had ignored every warning given thus far, sometimes the questions God asks us can accomplish more than lengthy lectures that we would just ignore anyway.

1. A well placed question is worth more than any lecture.

2. God always offers a warning and means of escape before judging anyone.

3. Whatever you have in this life is worthless if it doesn’t follow you where you’re ultimately headed.
