Zion as Symbol of God's Church
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Amos 6:1  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Zion is often used as a symbol of God's church. Is the Laodicean at ease within the church? He is surely not at ease when he has an opportunity to make money! He will work all day and all night to fatten his purse. He loves to pursue his distracting hobbies and interests. But God spits him out in disgust! He is distasteful to God like lukewarm water, unable to be used for any real, spiritual, eternal purpose! The Laodicean, according to Amos, puts his trust in his own wealth and power, his nation and its leaders. Where is his trust in God? John W. Ritenbaugh The World, the Church and Laodiceanism
