Amos 3:1-2 ESV
Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
“You only have I known
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.
Israel is God's elect. The rest of us choose Him.
They face a punishment from God that is like no other people because they have fallen from a unique relationship to God.
We who believe in the name of Jesus Christ escape the punishment we deserve because of our unique relationship with the Son.
It is a fearful and wonderful thing to be in the hands of the Lord.
