Twelve Symbols # 10
Praise the Lord Saints! We have made it to symbol 10, the Plumb line!
The Plumb line in reality is the ”Benchmark of Spiritual Reality,” or where you are in your relationship with God. A plumb line is a cord that has a small weight at one end called a plumb bob. It is used especially to measure or determine if something is perfectly vertical.
Amos 7:8 (ASV)
… The Lord said to me “What do you see Amos? “ And I said, “A plumb line.” The Lord said, “Behold I am about to put a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel. I will spare them no longer.”
Israel’s true spirituality was tested and was found lacking by God. He used His plumb line of righteousness to determine their slack. The sword of judgement would come from Assyria. This was the third of the 5 visions of Amos.
We must live holy and walk in the light for who knows when God will say enough!
