Study Note
The declaration that 'the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets' is Amos's theological warrant for his own ministry. The Hebrew 'sod' (secret, counsel) in verse 7 denotes the divine council — the heavenly assembly in which God deliberates his purposes (cf. Jeremiah 23:18; 1 Kings 22:19-23) — suggesting prophets are those admitted to that inner circle. The verse establishes a principle of covenantal transparency: God acts in history, but never without first disclosing his intention through prophetic word. Revelation 10:7 echoes this text in its announcement that the mystery of God 'is finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.'
