Science and History in Amos

1. God destroyed the Amorites who were a race of giants as tall as cedars and as strong as oaks. 2:9

2. It took the Israelites 40 years to travel from Egypt to Canaan, yet such a journey, even at that time, would have taken no more than ten days. 2:10

3. "Shall not the land tremble for this?"
   (Earthquakes are a punishment from God.) 8:8

4. God will "slay the last of them with the sword." Any that try to escape by diving to the bottom of the sea will be bitten, at God's command, by a sea-serpent. 9:1-4
