Athanasius goes on to explain that when He adopted our nature into «closest communion with Himself», he also took «with it that sentence of death which it had incurred... (thus)... from all eternity He provided first for our being, and afterwards for our redemption.» (faith.org.uk)
But Amos knows Yahweh's love and patience (see 4:6 - 11, with the essentially tender refrain, «Yet you did not return to me»; but especially 7:2,5); and when he speaks the apparently immutable sentence of death upon Israel (4:12; 7:9; 9: l - 8a) it is surely motivated (as the articulation of despair is of necessity always motivated) by hope, indomitable hope, that the pronouncement of judgment will effect decisive change in the conditions which invoked the judgment.
