Amos 2:3

There is no indication in the text that the judge and princes are not wicked, nor is there any suggestion that the destruction is not a result of judgment.

There is no argument that this verse does not support the theme, as the phrase "cut off" directly aligns with the theme's defined language for destruction.

The verse describes a future judgment and destruction, but it does not explicitly mention "Christ's return" or any specific timing that would directly link it to the "Coming" as defined in the theme. The destruction is attributed to "the Lord" without further specification of *when* this event will occur in a broader eschatological timeline.

The verse describes an action of removal and slaying, which are consequences, but it does not explicitly use the words "punish," "torment," "vengeance," "wrath," "recompense," or "retribution."

While the language is concrete, the terms "judge" and "princes" could be interpreted metaphorically to represent the leadership or ruling structure of a nation, rather than specific individuals, suggesting a symbolic rather than strictly literal fulfillment.

The verse describes a judgment involving the removal of a judge and the slaying of princes, but it makes no mention of fire, burning, flames, or any related terminology. The actions described are direct physical interventions, not metaphors or descriptions involving fire.

The verse describes a future action of God ("I will cut off," "I will slay") and attributes it to Him ("saith the Lord"), but it does not describe *how* this message was communicated to the prophet Amos.
